Yoness Darnell Wilson, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on June 14, 2026, at the age of 54. He was born on August 10, 1971, in Detroit, Michigan to the late Larry Wilson and Joyce Bates. Yoness was a man whose presence lit up every room he entered, leaving an enduring mark on the minds of those fortunate enough to know him. A proud graduate of East Catholic High School in Detroit, Yoness possessed a quick wit and a warm smile that could brighten even the darkest of days. His natural sense of humor and ability to speak his mind freely earned him a reputation as a candid and spirited individual who was never afraid to express himself. Known for his ability to lighten the mood with a well-timed joke. His candid nature, while at times blunt, was always rooted in a deep sense of love and honesty. He was a man of authenticity, never shying away from speaking his truth, and this honesty endeared him to many. In the summer of 2024, Yoness married the love of his life, Delta Miles, on August 17th. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with laughter, companionship, and unwavering support. Yoness has daughters, Jeannie Wilson, Myleatta Wilson, Yonesia Wilson and Dakara Miles. Seven grandchildren; Valdez Glenn, Carviyon Wilson, Michael Glenn, Kyyon Saine-Wilson, Hope Dudley-Wilson, Micco Dudley-Wilson, and Aiya Mulani Wilson. Yoness is survived by his wife, Delta, his daughters, and his grandchildren. His siblings, Michael and Wanda Beard, Coleen Whitman, DeAngelo Bates, Larry and Sharron Miller, Kizmet Holmes, and Tyhecia Hoskins, and a host of family and friends who will forever cherish the memories they created together. While his physical presence will be greatly missed, Yoness's spirit will live on in the memories of those who knew him. His legacy of love, humor, and authenticity will continue to inspire all who were touched by his life. Rest in peace, dear Yoness, knowing that you were truly loved and will never be forgotten.

Reflections

TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, "LET ME GO" When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not for long, And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone. It’s all a part of the Master’s plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss me, but let me go. THE DAY GOD TOOK YOU HOME A million times we've needed you, A million times We've cried, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly; In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a space, Where no one can ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone Part of us went with you, The day god took you home. DEAR YONESS, "I love you too the moon and back. I've known you 19yrs. Been together 6yrs later in life and married for 2yrs.. this year in August would have been 3yrs...you will truly be missed. I shall wear a crown, I shall see your face when it's all over, soon as I get home. Much luv babe" - Delta "Thank you for making my mom happy throughout out the years we will always honor your name and will always miss you" - Dakara " I miss you so much dad" - Yonesia "RABGAFBAN" - Myleatta "WYAWA? I take attendance like a classroom" - Jeannie
