Jason Dewayne Wilkerson, 37, departed this earth on August 7, 2021, at Magnolia Regional Hospital in Magnolia, Arkansas from Covid. He was born on September 29, 1983 to Brenda Page Wilkerson and Larry Wilkerson. Jason and his mother lived most of his life with his grandparents Norman and Betty Page in Stamps, Arkansas.
