Grady Baxter Wilson (1919–1987) was an American evangelist. He was a childhood friend, and later a close associate of Billy Graham, serving as the inaugural vice president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.[1] Like Graham, Wilson was converted in 1934 under the preaching of Mordecai Ham.[2][3]
In 1978, he suffered a heart attack that led to a quadruple bypass; he died of congestive heart failure on October 30, 1987 in Charlotte, North Carolina.[3][4]
