Wilson Jacobo Encarnacion, 34, of Harrisonburg, passed away, Monday, September 9, 2024, at Sentara RMH Medical Center, due to injuries sustained by a motorcycle accident.

Wilson was born December 31, 1989, in Dominican Republic. Wilson was such a happy baby. We called him “goat” because he was always jumping around. He was a true momma’s boy. He was a caring, thoughtful and strong-minded person. He was a positive person and was always looking forward. He was a family man and community oriented; he was loved by many. Family says that his personality couldn’t be beat and he wasn’t scared to be himself. He was funny and always laughing and always making jokes. He knew how to make everyone comfortable. He was a brother to all and an amazing son. He enjoyed MMA, baseball and dancing. Towards the end of his life, he made the decision to dedicate his life to Islam. Most of all he was a family man. His story will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who felt his love and grace, he will be truly missed.
