Izaiyah Wilson

Izaiyah Jeremiah Wilson, 19, of Gastonia and originally from Newark, New Jersey, is lovingly remembered by his family and community. Beloved son of Charles B. Wilson and Sharonda Graham Wilson, Izaiyah brought a lively spirit to gatherings and had a deep love for sports that connected him with friends and neighbors. Those who knew him recall his quick smile, the easy way he could lift a room’s mood, and the small everyday kindnesses that revealed a caring heart.

Izaiyah’s family planned a service to celebrate his life on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at Moore’s Chapel Baptist Church in Lincolnton, where relatives and friends came together to honor his memory and support one another. In moments of grief, the family has welcomed expressions of sympathy and remembrance—flowers, notes, and shared stories that keep Izaiyah’s presence alive in memory.

Though taken far too soon, Izaiyah’s life was marked by relationships and joys that mattered: the bonds of family, friendships formed through neighborhood and sports, and the small moments that made him who he was. His parents, Charles and Sharonda, and all who loved him hold his memory close, finding comfort in the stories and laughter he inspired.

In honoring Izaiyah, friends and family remember a young man whose warmth mattered in ordinary ways—ways that endure in the hearts of those who loved him. May his memory be a blessing.
