Wilson Manuel Brown

Wilson was born November 29, 1941, in Patrick, SC to the late William Manuel and Eliza Ingram Brown. He was a great man and loved spending time with his family. He watched NASCAR faithfully and always had a joke to share. Making people laugh came naturally to him. Although he loved to laugh, he was not stranger to hard work. He was employed with Bryant Durham Electric for 25 years.
