The community of professional educators in the Humble County, Northeast Houston in Texas, is mourning the loss one of their own. Jeff Wilson, a teacher at Kingwood Park High School and his wife, Amber, and son, Shiloh, perished in the catastrophic floods that hit Kerrville, Texas, in the early morning hours of July 4.

In a career that spanned 30 years, Jeff taught Career Technology at both Kingwood Park High School. He instructed courses in collision repair and auto body refinishing. He also taught at Humble High School in the same school district.

In addition to his work at the high school, Jeff also spent 14 years as an instructor for I-Car, the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Repair. He once said I-CAR courses are valuable to his students because of the knowledge and skills they provide, which makes his students more employable. I-CAR has reported that over the years, 98% of Jeff’s students achieved Platinum ProLevel 1 status.

The Humble Independent School District (ISD) encompasses the city of Humble, parts of Houston (including Kingwood), and portions of unincorporated Harris County (including Atascocita and Fall Creek), with a small section extending into Montgomery County.

Jeff and his family will be greatly missed, say all who knew him.
