In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his older brother Hansel “Hank” Wilkins.

Oscar was a hard worker and a loving family man. His grands and great grands held a special place in his heart. He was an outgoing person who met no strangers and always had a friendly smile on his face.  Oscar was a very creative and artistic soul. He will be remembered as Richard Petty’s look alike because of his long legs, boots and stylish cowboy hats.
