Wade Tyler "Ty" Wilson

Wade Tyler Wilson, "Ty", of Dallas was called home September 13, 2012. He leaves to cherish his memory, beloved wife, Miranda, parents, Kitty and Swinford Wilson, brother, Taylor Wilson, grandparents, Fay and Johnny Pavlica. Also, in-laws Laurie and Tom Anger, aunts and uncles Sherry and Jim Cattan, Penny and Johnny Pavlica, Gay and Jim Jordan, and Tom Ayars, cousins Cy and Allison Cattan, Cristy and Stephen Lawrence, Ian Pavlica, Hannah and Scott Davis, Michael and Wendy Jordan, and numerous other family members and loved ones.

Ty was born on July 16, 1980 and brought joy to his family from the first day he was placed in their arms. He attended Victoria High School where he played football and golf, was President of Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and graduated Salutatorian of his 1999 class. In the speech to his class he quoted 1 Corinthians 9:24: "In a race, all of the runners run, but only one will get the prize. Run in such a way as to get the prize." He attended Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX where he double-majored in Psychology and Religion and graduated in three years. His proudest achievement his first year there was to obtain a charter with four close friends to start a chapter on that campus of the Christian fraternity, Kappa Upsilon Chi. He was accepted to Baylor Law School and graduated with his Doctor of Jurisprudence in May 2005. He started his own practice, W.Ty Wilson Law Office where he practiced in Burleson, near Dallas.

In an earlier time, Ty would have been an adventurer/explorer in unknown lands. He never lost his enthusiasm for new places. There weren't enough hours in the day for him to accomplish all that he wanted to do. He loved his family and friends beyond words and had a gentle way of helping someone in need and explaining all sides of an argument. He did have an opinion about everything and would share it if asked. He was always the energizer, always driven, always thoughtful, always caring, always tolerant and almost always optimistic. We know by the journals he kept his knowledge of his shortcomings, his love of scripture, and depth of faith. We will remember someone who could make anything fun, who was incredibly witty and smart, loving, and forgiving. He left us such a legacy in his short time with us. We know he had God in his heart and pray that he was in God's hand the moment he left this earth.

Services will be held 2:00 PM Friday, September 21,2012 at Kessler Park United Methodist Church 1215 Turner Ave. in Dallas TX 75208. Memorial contributions may be made to Ty's Christian fraternity, Kappa Chi c/o Southwestern University at Georgetown P.O. Box 770 Georgetown, TX 78627.
