By his side at the time of his passing were his loving wife of sixty-four years and his children. Vernon was born on April 4, 1926, to Willis & Elgena(Miller) Wilson. He came from tough stock as his mom delivered his completly unassisted in a little house out in the hills southwest of Savage. He joined his siblings, Arlo and Lila, and the family grew up farming and ranching. In 1944 Vernon enlisted in the US Navy and was a gunner's mate on a troop transport in the Pacific, the USS Exchange. He served for two years before being honorably discharged in the spring of 1946. During that time, he celebrated the birth of his eldest daughter, Sandra, with his first wife, Wanda. Vernon at age 21, met Kathleen Etzel and two years later on September 28, 1949, they were married. He knew she was the one for him because, "she was so darn hard to catch, lots of guys were after her, but she picked me!" They raised a wonderful family and were blessed with three more children: Ross, Anne and Wade, and Suzy, a niece they raised as their own. A man of many talents, Vernon jumped from pillar to post in his employment. Over the couse of his lifetime he farmed and ranched, rodeoed, sprayed crops, drove truck, ran a small construction company, managed Rock Creek marina, repaired small engines. He helped start the Burns Creek Riders Saddleclub, and enjoyed racing thoroughbreds across the state. Hunting, motocycling, snowmobiling and sneaking Kitty's homemade goodies. Vernon's most proud and happy accomplishments was seeing his children grow into good, responsible, caring adults and instilling those same characteristics in their children. His life will be remembered in the stories of his hard work and physical labor, his mischievous wit and incessant teasing of his beautiful wife, and his absolute love for his family. When asked, he "wanted to be remembered as a man who really, really loved his kids and grandkids more than anything else." Vernon was preceded in death by his mother, Elgena father, Willis brother, Arlo & sister, Lila. He is survived by his wife, Kitty; daughter, Sandra Wilson of Culbertson, Montana; son, Ross Wilson of Sidney, Montana; daughter, Anne (Bryan)Carr of Big Arm, Montana;son, Wade (Michelle) Wilson of Gillette, Wyoming; thirteen grandchildren; nine great gand-children; two great-great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
