Kevin Edward Wilson
September 2nd, 1963 - September 21st, 2023.
Kevin Edward Wilson, a proud husband and father, passed to heaven on September 21st, 2023 at the age of 60.
Kevin was born September 2nd, 1963 in Morristown, New Jersey to James Gardner Wilson Jr., and Marjorie Jane Wilson. He moved to Cypress, Texas at a young age where graduated as a CY-Fair Bobcat and later attended University of Houston. Soon after graduating, he was a proud member of the City of Katy Fire Department for 15 years, where he became District Fire Chief. Kevin also served as a freemason and was very proud to hold that name. He loved serving his community as chief and decided that he wanted to take it a step further by getting his real estate license. He quickly found his passion as a general contractor and started his own construction company, Big City Builders, where he would go on to help build and grow the city of Katy. After years of building dream homes for community members, Kevin decided to push into commercial building, where he proudly helped other business owners start their own successful businesses. While he was helping the city grow, he continued to watch his own family grow which he loved more than anything in the world.
Kevin is survived by his wife Claudia Nayeli Wilson; children Scott Davis, Jacquelyn Schroyer, David Thelen, Zachary Wilson, Kelsey Wilson, and Kobe Wilson; grandchildren Kasin, Brytln, Skyln, Wyttn, Wattson, Sutton, Lawson, Avery, Brody, Conner and Hayley; siblings Gary Wilson Sr. and Donna Lee.
He is preceded in death by his parents James and Marjorie Wilson along with his daughter Nikki Thelen.
Kevin was known by many people to be a kind, generous soul, that always went out of his way to make you smile. He loved people and was always the life of the party. Kevin enjoyed gathering around the table for a meal with his friends and loved ones, especially if he cooked the meal. He was well known for dedicating his life to others, but nothing made him more proud than his children and family. The name “Dad” was the best name he had ever received, and he wore it with honor. The only name that held a candle was “Pa”, which is what his grandchildren loved to call him. Spending time with his children and grandchildren was the reason he worked so hard. He was always up for a spontaneous vacation, day out at the park, waterpark, or anywhere he could see his family smile. Kevin was a role model, mentor, and friend to many and his smile, laugh, and his infectious personality will be so greatly missed by anyone who had the honor of knowing him.
MAY HE FOREVER REST IN PEACE
A celebration of life for Kevin Edward Wilson will be held at the KATY VFW, Sunday, October 8th from 12:00pm-3:00pm. There will be a short service followed by a meal provided by the family. If you would like to join us in celebrating Kevin’s life, please RSVP at the link below.

I knew Kevin from competing "against" him in new home sales. We became good friends in Berkshire, selling for different builders. He was a kind, generous and honest man whom I was grateful to call friend. He was also fun! We made one solo trip to Las Vegas together. What a wonderful memory I have of traveling with Kevin. He was a great man.
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
Thank you for all you did to make our mother's funeral special, dignified, and easy for us.
I just can't express to you enough how much we appreciated the kindness and professionalism my family experienced with you and your staff.
Thank you for treating my beloved mother with honor and respect all throughout the process.
Our family will be forever grateful to the owner and staff at Beresford Funeral Services for the excellent services they provided to our family upon the death of our loved one. Everything went smoothly. The planning was easy with everything needed for the funeral provided on sight at reasonable prices with no pressure to spend more than planned. They were flexible with our personal plans, very kind, and considerate from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend Beresford Funeral Services to anyone in need of funeral services.
