He also worked/volunteered his time at Allisonville Christian Church, where he was a member for 35 years and served multiple roles.
He is survived by his wife, Cathy Wilson; his two sons, Keith (Andrea) Wilson and Todd (Amanda Sanders) Wilson; his grandchildren, Hayley Wilson and Gavin Wilson; and his siblings, Mike Wilson, Gail (Bob) Grande, and Brenda (Lou) Morrison. Steve was also blessed with many nieces and nephews. He was preceded by his parents, Jack and Jean Wilson.
A viewing will be held on Sunday, July 29th, 2018 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Allisonville Christian Church, 7701 Allisonville Rd., Indianapolis, IN 46250. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, July 30th, 2018 at Allisonville Christian Church.

Dear Wilson Family: Please accept my sincere apologies for your loss. As the days and weeks go by, may you continue to be comforted by family, friends and scriptures like Acts 24:15 and Philippians 4:6,7. Again, I am sorry for your loss.
Steve Caress says
It will be difficult but in time we will find ways to do the million “little” things that Steve did for Allisonville Christian Church. What can’t be replaced is the loving kindness that he showed to everyone or the way his smile almost never left his face. Steve was a blessing to me in so many ways. Grace and Peace to the family and many, many friends that are feeling lost today.
Cathy and Keith Roberts says
Steve was a kind and gentle person yet strong in his battle against cancer. His years of service to Noble and to his church shows his true spirit. Heaven gained a true angel but he will be missed by us. Now he is free of suffering and will be watching over Cathy and all from above.
Our hearts and prayers go out to you Cathy and pray that his memories sustain you❤️🙏😇
The Ayers Family - Paul, Jenni & Ely says
There will never be another Steve Wilson. We will always remember that smile that never seemed to go away, a love for God and church, a glow on his face when with grandchildren, and a blessing to so many. He was so appreciative of anything we did in the backyard and garden at church and made sure we knew.
Prayers of peace and comfort are extended to the entire Wilson family with love.
The Luke Family says

Linda Hardin and Juanita Keith says
To Cathy and family,
I want to let you know that my mom and I are thinking of you as you find your way through these difficult days ahead. I didn’t know what rough ones you’ve already been through, so I know you have become stronger through the process. The picture of Steve included here is perfect. The smile is so him and I can almost hear that special laugh of his coming right out. I cherish having Steve as a coworker all of those years and as everyone has said, he touched so many lives and helped make them better. He will be missed by so many, you can count me in that group. All our supportive thoughts to you,
Laura Deneen says
I was sadden to hear about the loss of such a wonderful, caring and kind-hearted man. I am honored and blessed that I had the honor and privilege to know and work with Steve Wilson at Noble (at the Allisonville Christian Church location). Steve Wilson was and Angel here on earth and now he has a special place with God in Heaven above.
My thoughts and prayers are with Cathy and his family grieving the loss of a great man.
