With heartfelt sympathy, we announce the passing of Mr. Elijah “Mink” Wilson of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, who departed this life on Sunday, March 1, 2026.

“Mink” will be fondly remembered for his generous spirit and the joy he brought to so many—especially through the big Easter Egg hunts he faithfully sponsored each year.  He had a love for dancing, landscaping, and entertaining others as a disc jockey. His vibrant personality, warm smile, and giving heart will long be cherished by all who knew him. 

He leaves to cherish his precious memories his siblings: Peter Heyward, Corine Thompson (Dale), Freddie Wilson, Charles L. Gadsden (Jamela), Samantha Gadsden Carter (Ronald), Bobby Gadsden; and Earl Gadsden; along with a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will miss him deeply.

Viewing will be held Friday, March 6, 2026. 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., at the funeral home. A Celebration of Life Service will be held Saturday, March 7, 2026, 11:00 a.m., at O. Allen Gethers Jr. Memorial Chapel, 200 Grace Street, Moncks Corner, SC. Burial will be in Old Nazareth Cemetery, Pinopolis, SC.

The service will be live streamed on the funeral home's Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/gethersfh

The family will receive friends at the residence daily from 2:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.

During this time of sorrow, we humbly ask that you uplift the Wilson family in your prayers and surround them with love, comfort, and strength in the days ahead.
