Allan Wayne Wilson - August 3, 1951 – June 9, 2025.
Allan Wayne Wilson, 73, of Branson, Missouri, passed away peacefully on June 9, 2025, with his devoted wife, Kathy Wilson, by his side.
Born in Branson on August 3, 1951 to Norma and Carl (Jr.), Allan spent his life deeply rooted in the community he loved. For many years, he built and maintained White Water Parks, a path that eventually led him to the love of his life, Kathy. He later worked in maintenance at Branson Hills Golf Course, a job that allowed him to stay connected to the outdoors he cherished. At the same time, he took great pride in running Wilson Farm and, above all, in being present for his daughters.
Allan is survived by his wife of 38 years, Kathy Wilson; his daughters Jennifer Lynn Pollock (Joseph) of Olathe, KS and Christina Ann Stauder (Nick) of Renton, WA; and his beloved grandsons: Mavic Wilson Pollock (8), Finn Elliott Pollock (6), Noah James Stauder (2.5), and Jack Nicholas Stauder (4 months). He is also survived by his brother Ed Wilson (Deb) of Branson, MO and nephews Heath Wilson (Lynn) and B.J. Wilson of Little Rock, AR.
He was preceded in death by his loving parents: Norma Stallcup Wilson and Carl (Jr.) Wilson of Branson, MO.
Allan was an avid outdoorsman who loved to fish, hunt, and watch sports. But nothing brought him more joy than spending time with his grandsons—his pride and joy. His greatest accomplishment, he would say without hesitation, was his daughters. He was at every sporting event and never missed a milestone in his girls’ lives. Being a dad and a “Paw Paw” was his life’s purpose, and he fulfilled it with unwavering love and pride.
To know Allan was to love him. He never met a stranger, and his wide circle of friends is a testament to his kind heart, sense of humor, and genuine spirit. He was the best brother, husband, dad, Paw Paw, and friend anyone could ask for.
He leaves behind a legacy of love, hard work, and laughter that will continue to live on in all who knew him.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that you share your fondest memories of Allan with his family.
A celebration of Allan’s life will be Saturday, June 14, 2025 at 10:00 am in Snapp-Bearden Funeral Home & Crematory, 1638 E. State Hwy 76, Branson, MO.
