Jack Andrew

Wilson

Jack Wilson left this life on Friday, October 30, 2026.

He was born in Chicago on March 3, 2002. On the coldest day that winter, with Lake Michigan frozen over, Jack came into the world loud and hot.

Jack attended Kindergarten at Ben Franklin Elementary School in Glen Ellyn, IL, before he and his family moved to Mount Pleasant, SC. He graduated high school from Crown Leadership Academy in 2020. He worked at several local jobs in property management and gained several friends and mentors with whom he remained close. He had recently made the decision to go to college, and was enrolled in the Engineering Design program at Trident Technical College.

Jack loved all kinds of gadgets and machines. He had a life-long love for vacuum cleaners, which just kept getting bigger, fancier, and more expensive. Property management gave him even more opportunities to accumulate tools and machines, locks and keys! He loved to fix things, and to make things clean and beautiful.

He loved good food. His favorite was Italian, with ridiculous amounts of parmesan cheese. He loved Christmas most of all. He started decorating after Halloween (or even before); and everyone who knew him will remember him wearing his red-and-white Santa hat from November 1st onward.

Jack was a sweet, generous young man who gave all he had to his friends and family. He rarely turned down a chance to show up and help a friend. He would steam clean your carpet, re-wire your light switches, or paint your house, with nothing but joy in his heart. He wanted his people to be happy, cared for, and loved.

Jack is survived by his parents, Phoebe and Kenny, his sister, Emily, and his beloved cat, Lulu (aka Demon Spawn); as well as many extended family members and friends who will continue to love him deeply and unconditionally. He will be immeasurably missed until we see him again in eternity.

There will be an event to celebrate Jack’s life in the near future. Meanwhile, in his honor, his family asks that you consider donations to: ● The Trevor Project (www.thetrevorproject.org) ● Lowcountry Animal Rescue (facebook.com/lowcountryanimalrescue)

Arrangements are by J. Henry Stuhr, Inc., Mount Pleasant Chapel. A memorial message may be sent to the family on our website at www.jhenrystuhr.com.
