Nathaniel Reginald Wilson Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

The Twin Cities loses gospel legend, Dr. Nathaniel R. Wilson July 18, 2022 Wilson had hailed to us from Heaven by way of the East Coast. Made his way to Minnesota in 1963 where he played for many churches (about 15) of all denominations. Wilson was a member of Calvary Lutheran in Golden Valley where he participated in many different functions and was best known for the musical Jamboree of which he was executive chairman for many years. Wilson also had played for many churches and denominations where he held the title of minister of music. Wilson also displayed his musical talents of singing and playing through his PHD degree and was also known for his gift in counseling. He counseled and helped many individuals and families. He was a gentleman with many gifts and talents to name a few; he hosted his own radio and television show. He was a director of music for his traveling group which was the Jubilations ensemble that was based in Minneapolis. He was the manager for a gospel night club called the New Union. We do not want to forget the fact that he also was a great cook. Those that ever visited his home have fond memories of his sage potatoes, smoked meats and greens, black-eyed beans, potato salad and most of all his fluffy cornbread . He was always willing and able to offer others a helping hand financially, spiritually or just to have a genuine talk. He lived in Golden Valley for decades and was a well known figure in the local community. He was always a straight shooter, being a Taurus and with an East Coast attitude. If you were not willing to tell the truth upfront, he would find a gentle way to get it out of you. Doc as he was fondly known did not have caliber or separation in the people he interacted with. He had a gift of adjusting and connecting to his audience regardless of social status, age, gender or general disposition. He will be greatly missed by many and one day we will join him in the heavenly choir.
