Judd Wilson

Judd Christian Wilson passed away at his home on February 19, 2026, in the arms of his loving wife, LaRae.

Born on October 19, 1944, to LeMoyne and Ada Wilson, Judd was the youngest of five brothers. He grew up in River Heights, where he developed a deep love for family, hard work, and the outdoors, values that shaped his life.

Judd had a lifelong passion for hot rods, snowmobiling, and spending time in nature. While visiting car shows, going on a drive, puttering in his yard, or building artistic miniature barns, he was happiest at home. He was a gifted creative artist, builder, and woodworker whose hands seemed capable of making anything. His projects were not just well-built, they were built with heart.

Known for his positive outlook and steady kindness, Judd was always ready to lend a hand. Family, friends, and neighbors could count on him for help with any building project or repair. He gave generously of his time, talents, and encouragement, never seeking recognition, just happy to help.

Judd is survived by his wife, LaRae; his son, Christian (Trudy); his daughter, Kimberly (Rob); 5 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. His legacy of kindness, creativity, and quiet strength lives on through them.

He will be deeply missed but forever remembered by all who were blessed to know him.

The family will hold a graveside service on February 27, 2026, at 1:00 pm at the Providence Cemetery.
