Gardner Resident, Musician
Jeffrey Reed Wilson, 66, of Gardner, passed away in Worcester, MA, on Oct. 17, 2020, after a long battle with ALS.
Jeff lived in Massachusetts most of his life, primarily in the Leominster-Fitchburg area, where he became a self-taught musician and accomplished guitarist. For a time, he played in a band, and also enjoyed impromptu “jam sessions” and sing-alongs with family and friends. He was also a dedicated body builder and a devoted Christian.
He is fondly remembered by his family for his quit wit and ever-present sense of humor, which stayed with him even through his darkest times.
He leaves his sister, Laurie Daniel of Leominster, his brother, Robert King of Bolton, several nieces and nephews, and his longtime friend, Judy Duclos of Leominster. He was predeceased by his mother, Lois Wilson of Leominster, and his sister Pamela Wilson of Springfield.
