He was born on September 22, 1936, in Ayden, NC, to Richard Guy and Stella Brown Taylor Jackson. Wil was the youngest of the eight children born to the Jacksons. Growing up in Ayden, Wil enjoyed being part of his large family and developing strong friendships, many of which remained constant throughout his life. He also grew to love the local church at a young age and felt a palpable calling to the ministry before he finished high school. After graduating from Ayden High School in 1954, Wil completed an undergraduate degree in history at High Point College. He went on to attend Duke University Divinity School where he earned a Master of Divinity in preparation for the pastorate.

Wil and Carolyn Crane Gibbs were married May 7th,1988 in Durham, NC, and enjoyed 32 wonderful years together. In his retirement, Wil enjoyed playing tennis, reading, solving Sudoku puzzles, traveling with Carolyn, spending time with his family and friends, and was an avid Duke fan. He loved God and loved sharing about the redemption and freedom that can be found through a relationship with the Creator. Wil also loved people and never met a stranger. Passionate about writing, Wil authored many books and devotional meditations and was never without a new research project. He prided himself on his many gifts, not least of which was a beautiful voice and penchant for lusty, cheerful singing.
