Fernando Alvis Santos Bonfim-Wilson

Fernando was born August 9, 1983, in Sao Paulo, Brazil to Brazil Neibe and Jorge Wagner. As a young baby he came to the United States with his family. As he grew older he attended Trumball School, where he played basketball. People were drawn to Fernando because of his gentle heart and he had many friends. He came to western Nebraska to be a basketball star, and he was. Playing for WNCC, it was there that he met an amazing family the Wilsons. They adopted Fernando and he truly cherished them. God worked through Fernando to bring his family closer and to God himself. Later he met his wife Chelsea and they grew to love one another unconditionally with the most extraordinary love. They were married June 20, 2011, and had the amazing miracle to be able to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. Together they loved their daughter, the greatest joy of their life Isabella Paisley Wilson born March 17, 2011. Isabella was Fernando’s pride and joy he was the best father and husband that god could have created. Fernando was constantly with Bella and never let her out of his sight. Isabella was always a daddy's girl, and will always be. We all were truly blessed to have him touch our hearts. Fernando signed his Resolution June 17, 2012. Fernando felt comfortable always when he left because he had Maddison, she was literally man’s best friend. Maddison was his dog but she always protected Chelsesa and Bella at all times, he trusted her with his life. Fernando loved to spend his time with his wife and daughter, if you asked him what he wanted to it was seeing his precious family. We are going to miss Fernando severely and have appreciated all the support people have given in this time of need.
