One of my favorite of many memories with Wilder
is our good ol skittle debate ..
I asked him if he wanted to taste the rainbow one day (because I had skittles per usual because I love them) and he said I’m not a big fan of them because they all taste the same ..
so he just had to get everyone’s opinion on the matter and so it went on and on and on lol
I still feel like I won the debate with most of the people agreeing with me that they each had their own flavor!
But no wilder would not let me win he said he was the winner and I let him have that
we joked about it often
he was a true pleasure to work with
A genuine guy all around he never let his disability hold him back one bit
a true light a and a young soul taken far too soon you will be missed wilder rest easy my dude

in honor of Wilder.

My Baby brother NEVER let his differences stop him from experiencing things or living life to the fullest!
He was so silly and told the best jokes. He definitely knew how to change the energy of an entire room. When Wilder Rolled through, you knew you were about to be belly laughing in no time!
He was also Ambitious, helping others where he could, the kindest eyes and most loving heart. No one ever felt left out of the group, because he went out of his way to make you feel included. He had many friends who adored him just as much as we did. He touched so many lives in one way or another. Forever in our hearts
Rest Free Mr. Man
Love and miss you so much.

I worked with wilder on the school bus for many years! And I have so many fond memories of him! Wilder loves deer hunting, as well as me, I have hunted my whole life! We loved to talk about our deer stories on the bus, as well as recipes, for cooking!! He would tell me a lot about what his mom was making for dinner!! He was fond of her crockpot chicken!! There was always! Many jokes!! He loves to tell them, and I loved to hear them! Sometimes when, I would say one, or Mr.Denny would say one, he would say!! With a straight face ( I don’t get it) but we would laugh!! It was such an honor and a privilege to be working with him!! He will always have a special place in my heart!
