Danny “JoJo” Wilson, age 45, of Middlesboro, passed away unexpectedly on Dec. 13, 2023 at Middlesboro A.R.H. while surrounded by his family and friends.

He was born March 2, 1978 in Middlesboro to Joel Wilson (Lasley) and the late Joan Yeary. In addition to his mother, he was preceded in death by many loved ones and friends, uncle Rick Sampson, uncle Carl Shackelford, Miss Judy, uncle Bobby Moore, Paul Collins, papaw Bill Jones, papaw Dallas Shackelford, Joe and Wilma Hensley, Billy Gordon, and many more that he loved so dearly.

JoJo loved hot rods and he enjoyed trading – an art he was always great at. No matter the item, JoJo loved to be around others more than the trade itself. A voice like an angel, JoJo was talented with the musical gift of singing. A huge heart, he would help anyone out at any time, especially those that he loved. Most of all though, he simply loved being a Dad. JoJo was a jack of all trades, yet a master of none. A great personality who loved to tease, his favorite saying was to always tell girls they “needed a yard rake for their hair”. JoJo had the ability to make his friends feel more like family, and he treated them that way too. JoJo’s love for others and his heart of gold will never be forgotten.

Left to cherish his memory, wife Brittani Wilson, daughter Lyndi Elkinton-Wilson, son Devin Hill, special nephew Michael “Mikey” Hensley, father Joel Wilson (Lasley), brother Michael Hensley, sister Donna Myte, special in-law’s that he considered Mom and Dad, Gerald and Tina Morgan, special aunt Frankie Ayers, others that he considered to be his brothers, Jay Hopper, dad Mike Partin, dad Tony Arnett, Brance Combs, Jesse Hoover, Tom Anderson, Brian York, Randy Miracle, Doug Bayless, Ali Omar, Nelson Bingham, and Brad Mills, as well as several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews who will miss him so much. JoJo had so many dear friends and family too numerous to name, but all with which he loved with his whole heart.

The family of JoJo Wilson will receive friends from 4:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 16, 2023 at Green Hills Funeral Home.

Funeral Services will be conducted at 6:30 p.m. at the Green Hills Funeral Home Chapel with his friend, Mr. Nelson Bingham presiding.
