Vernon Frederick Wilkerson Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Vernon Frederick Wilkerson of Herndon, Virginia, born in Syracuse, New York, who passed away on August 10, 2024, at the age of 73, leaving to mourn family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Vernon farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Vernon is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Vernon Francis Wilkerson, Jr. and Carolyn Ann Cook Wilkerson; his wife Carrie Jean Jackson Wilkerson; his sons, Christopher "Chris" Wilkerson of Warrenton, VA and Alexander "Alex" Wilkerson (Jacob "Jake" Wildfire); his siblings, Katheryne "Kay" (Everett "Sonny" Helms) of Concord, NC, John (Millicent Wilkerson) of Chapel Hill, NC, Dennis Wilkerson (Barbara Elwell) of Durham, NC and Ann (Alan Dandison) of Salisbury, NC.; and his pet Bella.
In lieu of flowers or other gifts, we would encourage you to give a donation to the National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS) in Fred's memory.
