Favis D. Wilson

Favis Danerl Wilson, officially known as “Nerl” was born May 20, 1969, in Sikeston, Missouri, to Veatrice Crider Wilson and Richard Ozean Davis. 

Favis was preceded in death by his parents, his daughter FaQuazia Wilson, 4 brothers — J.D. Wilson, Anthony Wilson, Charles Jennings, and Audrick Wilson — as well as 2 sisters, Margaret Petty and Dollester Jackson. He was also preceded in death by 2 stepbrothers, Herman Davis and Sonny “Sally” Banks. 

Favis accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of Mercy Seat Baptist Church at that time. He recently rededicated his life to Christ under Pastor Floyd Wade. He was a graduate of Charleston High School, Class of 1987. 

Favis loved spending time with his family and friends. Especially his wife “Tonya” she was his world. He enjoyed watching basketball and riding around in his old-school. If you knew Favis, you knew it was never a dull moment when he was around. Always a good roasting session. I’m sure his nephews and nieces know all about it, They kept him on his toes. It was always best to get him before he got you. He’s going to be missed dearly.

 On April 6, 2004, Favis was joined in holy matrimony to his wife, Tonya Lashon Wilson, who survives at the home.
