Jeffrey A Wilson

Jeffrey Adam Wilson, 47, passed away on February 19, 2025 in Jamestown, Wyoming from injuries sustained in a tragic automobile accident, with employee Katherine (Deja) Franklin (32). Jeffrey (Jeff), was born April 9, 1977 in Murray, Utah to loving parents Steven and LeeAnn Wilson. Jeff spent the majority of his childhood in Rock Springs, Wyoming and was raised there with his two older brothers, Matthew and Kevin, and one beloved younger sister, Kristen. Jeff graduated high school from Rock Springs High School with the class of 1995 before serving a mission in Seoul, South Korea for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

On August 8, 1998, Jeffrey married the love of his life, Kimberly June Killpack in the Salt Lake City Temple, Utah. They spent 26 beautiful years together and raised four children: Erika, Sarah, Christopher, and Nicole. Together Jeffrey and Kimberly attended school at the University of Wyoming, followed by an incredible journey to Southern California, where Jeff obtained his doctorate in optometry from the Southern California College of Optometry (SCCO) in 2005. In the year following his graduation, Jeff and his family moved to Gilbert, Arizona where he practiced optometry.

In the summer of 2006, Jeff and his family moved to Green River, Wyoming where he began his optometry practice, Desert View Eye Care. Dr. Wilson cared incredibly deeply about his patients and staff, as well as the Green River and Rock Springs communities. He was an avid supporter of the Green River High School Wolves Athletics programs and loved attending his children's sporting events. 

In his free time, Jeff could be found spending time with his family, working in his shop, mountain biking, ATV-ing, golfing, competing in triathlons, camping, playing the piano, enjoying science-fiction novels and movies, watching Wyoming football and basketball, and researching cars and trucks. Jeffrey remained an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints throughout the entirety of his life and served his church community as a Bishop, High Councilman, Elders Quorum President, and Youth Leader. He was a man of faith who loved his family, his children, and his savior.
