Kerry Owen Wilson

Kerry Owen Wilson, 57, passed away peacefully on Monday, May 25, 2026, Memorial Day. Kerry was born in Spokane, Washington, on June 10, 1968. Not long afterward, his family moved to Tucson and eventually settled in Phoenix, Arizona.

Kerry was a proud father, a loyal friend, and a caring person who touched the lives of many. He is survived by his son, Jeremie Wilson, and daughter-in-law, Kellie McCarthy-Wilson; his daughter, Nikki Loveland; his brother, Kevin Wilson, and sister-in-law, Kristine Wilson; and his beloved grandchildren, Kinsley, Kallie, Karlie, and JJ.

Raised by Owen and Helen Wilson—whom Kerry affectionately described as a "staunch Iris Catholic mom"—he attended St. Louis the King Grade School and later graduated from St. Mary's High School.

Following high school, Kerry proudly served in the United States Navy. He was stationed on Diego Garcia as Military Police and later returned stateside, serving in San Diego aboard the USS Dixon, a nuclear submarine tender, as a Heavy Equipment Rigger.

After his military service, Kerry dedicated 27 years of hard work to Coca-Cola and was proud to have worked two Super Bowls during his career. Kerry was a hardworking man who always went out of his way to help others. He loved his dogs, was deeply religious, and was fiercely patriotic. He lived his life with kindness, generosity, and an unwavering commitment to family and friends.

While we mourn the loss of Kerry, we also celebrate a life filled with love, purpose, and cherished memories. May we honor Kerry's memory by living with the same compassion, faith, and joy that he shared with others. Until we meet again, we love you, Kerry.
