Mr. Reginald “Reggie” Wilson, aged 48, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, after a courageous and inspiring battle with prostate cancer.

Born on November 5, 1976, in Savannah, Georgia, to Ronald and Hellon Wilson, Reginald Wilson lived a life filled with purpose, kindness, and determination; a steadfast source of support and wisdom to all who knew him. His vast career in higher education, most recently as Provost of Pasco-Hernando State College North Campus, was marked by dedication and integrity, earning the respect and admiration of colleagues, students, and community members alike. Throughout his journey with cancer, Reggie remained fiercely optimistic, finding joy in everyday moments and continuing to inspire those around him with his laughter, love, and gratitude for life. He never let his diagnosis define him; instead, he chose to fight with dignity and live each day fully.

Reggie was a member of Luther Kimbrough Lodge No. 828 in North Carolina. He enjoyed watching his beloved Miami Hurricanes during college football season, golfing, fishing, and cruising.

Reggie was preceded in death by: his father, Ronald L. Wilson; and his mother-in-law, Vera D. Canada.

Reggie leaves behind: his devoted wife, Holly; children, Sidney, and Brysen; mother, Hellon Wilson; brother, Christopher (Rhonda) Wilson; sister, Amber (Esmond) Housing; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, godchildren, and friends who will miss his warm smile, kind heart, and courageous spirit. His legacy will live on through the lives he touched and the memories he leaves behind.
