Calvin John Wilson was born on February 21, 1941 to Henderson Wilson, Sr. and Melvina Edwards Wilson. On January 19, 2021, at the age of 79 God called him from labor to rest.

In 1965 he met the love of his life, Betty Ann McGill. She was his wife and devoted companion for over 54 years. From this union they had two children.
He was in his 30’s when he accepted Christ. He was baptized at St. Joseph Baptist Church in Marrero Louisiana, by the Late Reverend Talton Lewis, Pastor.
Calvin leaves to cherish his memory his wife: Betty Ann McGill Wilson; his daughter Michele Wilson Walker and his son Malcolm D. Wilson; his siblings: Henderson Wilson, Jr., Jerry Wilson, Judy Morton and Fay Shelton. He leaves three grandsons: Vaughn Walker, Zalen and Mason Wilson, one granddaughter, Zaia Wilson and a close niece, Rayshanna Shelton.
