Walter Robert Wilson
September 11, 1965 - September 27, 2026
Walter Robert Wilson, 61, of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, passed away in his home on September 27, 2026.
Born September 11, 1965, Bob graduated from Sapulpa High School in 1984. That July, he joined the U.S. Navy, where he served until 1990, and he continued in the Navy Reserve until 1992.
Bob met Saundra on a blind date on March 1, 1991, and it must have gone well, because they were married on March 28, 1992.
Bob spent his working life taking care of other people. He served 25 years as an EMT-I, worked more than 20 years as an ER tech, spent three years as assistant director for Creek County, and for the last three years, he served as a security officer. Over the years he saved many lives, helped bring new ones into the world, and helped many others leave it peacefully.
His priorities were simple: God, family, and country. Walter was hardworking, authentic, and simple in the best way. He was compassionate, caring, outgoing, and strong, and he met everything life handed him with relentless resilience. He dedicated his life to everyone else, and his family will always remember him as the most selfless person they ever knew. He also never quite knew when to use his filter, and those who loved him wouldn't have had it any other way.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter D. Wilson and Pat Brown; his stepfather, Jimmie Brown; and his brother, Tony Wilson.
Bob is survived by his wife, Saundra; his sons Walter Phillip (Kira), James (Jia), and Andrew (Kaylee); and grandchildren Rylann, Kenzy, Job, Evee, Malachi, Neal, and Jack. He also leaves behind his siblings, Danny Wilson (Elkie), Michelle Rake (Mark), Shannon Brown, and Bryan Wilson (Candice), along with several nieces and nephews.
Services will be held Friday, October 2, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Green Hill Funeral Home Chapel in Sapulpa, Oklahoma.
Arrangements are in the care of Green Hill Funeral Home.
*** The family has requested donations to the
