Ken was born in Lafayette, GA., on April 2, 1949 to the late, Sam Wilson Sr., and Josephine Dossett Wilson. Ken graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville with a Bachelors Degree. He was an avid “Volunteers” fan and cheered on his beloved Vols at every opportunity. Ken enjoyed spending time fishing, which he did often in his younger years with his son, Nicholas. Ken was a horror movie buff as well.
