William Woodrow "Skip" Wilson II passed away peacefully Friday afternoon, March 19, 2021, in the West Virginia Caring Hospice House at Elkins.

Skip's true passion in life was being a fireman and emergency medical technician in his hometown of Belington. Later in life, Skip was unable to be as active, but continued to be a treasured support member of the Belington Fire Department. Skip was employed for the State of West Virginia for over 30 years, with that time being split between the Liquor Commission, the Department of Highways, and most recently the Division of Motor Vehicles. Skip's most recent hobby was his recliner, sitting with his two granddogs, Blaze and Libby.
