Lawrence Gregory Wilhelm, age 75, of Gentry, Arkansas passed away on December19, 2024.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by son, Brian Knight; and sister, Barbara Wilhelm.
He is survived by his loving wife, Jackie Moore Wilhelm, of Gentry, Arkansas, and formerly of Pleasant View, Tennessee; daughter, Lisa Phillips and husband Ricky of Gentry, Arkansas; brother, David Wilhelm; grandchildren, Dylan Phillips and wife Emily of Bentonville, Arkansas, Damon Phillips and girlfriend Victoria Rendon of Bentonville, Arkansas, Coty Dill and Dustin Dill both of Tennessee; and three great-grandchildren.
