A savant of life who navigated through the world's obstacles and was triumphant in learning from hidden treasures of tragedy. He saw people for their potential and pushed them towards their successes.

He spoke with a double-edged tongue saying what you needed to hear and the truth that you feared. A man who celebrated his mistakes because they were the lessons that no one else could teach. A titan in any forum due to knowledge of the streets, observation of people, charisma, and sheer ingeniousness.

There are men in this world who give themselves so freely…who pass on their time, talents, strength and love selflessly to the people in their lives. Men whose bloodlines extend beyond trees and stretch to recipients of life's journey. Loved by so many and considered all to be family.

Please join us in a beautiful homegoing salute for Mr. Frank Wilson, "The unofficial mayor of East Winston" at Clark S. Brown & Sons Funeral Home, 727 N. Patterson Avenue, Winston-Salem, NC at 3:00 P.M. Sunday, March 13, 2022. We will convene on 7 ½ Street where his mother's home stood.
