THOMSON, Ga. — Family, friends and soldiers remembered Command Sgt. Maj. Jerry L. Wilson on Dec. 3 as a mentor with a dominating presence.
At least 500 people crowded into the Springfield Baptist Church in Thomson for Wilson’s funeral. At least 100 of those in attendance were uniformed soldiers.
Wilson, 45, and another soldier — Spc. Rel A. Ravago IV, 21, of Glendale, Calif. — were killed Nov. 23 when their vehicle was attacked in Mosul. Initial reports said the two were pelted with concrete blocks, but the Army has said there was no evidence the men were beaten after their vehicle was shot and crashed into a wall.
