Survivors included four children from his first marriage to the former Joan "Joannie" Quinby of Vivian: two sons, Hamilton Paul Wilson, II, and James Michael Wilson, both then of Vivian, and two daughters, Amanda Wilson Murry of Vivian and Melissa Wilson Brown, then of Washington, D.C.; his mother Lola Wilson, three sisters Jean Brown, Mimi Cochran, and Peggy Wilson, and four grandchildren. Wilson's second wife was the former Shreveport newswoman Ann Beebe.
Services were held in the Vivian United Methodist Church. Wilson was cremated.
