BLOUNT COUNTY, Tenn. — One Blount County family is mourning Sunday after a deadly crash near the Dragon.
Derek Wilson, a father of four, died on Tuesday after going for a motorcycle ride on the infamous section of Highway 129.
Wilson was described as more than just a dad, husband or friend, but as someone doing whatever it took to bring smiles to faces.
"He was a goofball all the time he always had a joke all the time," said his wife, Anna Wilson.
