Warren Lee Wilkerson

He completed his education in Richmond Public Schools and was a retired employee of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. He served faithfully for many years as a trustee and deacon at Broad Rock Baptist Church, where he also sang in the Lester Pryor Male Chorus. He had a deep love for music, especially jazz, gospel, and R&B, and for years enjoyed sitting in the park listening to his favorite songs. He also loved golf, was a devoted Dallas Cowboys fan, and, thanks to his daughter, became a proud supporter of the Virginia Cavaliers.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Deacon Ira T. Wilkerson Sr. and Frances Richardson Wilkerson. He is survived by his lifelong partner and friend, Rev. Dr. Pamela Wilkerson; two children, Dr. Tamara Wilkerson Dias and Derrick L. Lee; three brothers, Keith H., Ira T. Jr. and Joseph B. Wilkerson; a sister-in-law, Mildred L. Wilkerson; a brother-in-law, Randy White; a son-in-law, Jermaine Dias; a devoted cousin, Thomas Scates; special friends from his church family, Deacons Michael Clarke, Alex Davis, and Samuel Wiley; and several grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends who loved him.
