- Darrell Glen Wilson, 84, of Clay City, passed away at Carle Richland Memorial Hospital in Olney, Illinois on Sunday, September 7, 2025.

During his life, Darrell worked as a welder, logger, and an over the road trucker hauling hogs and driving across the country with Margie. He was truly a "jack of all trades".
