like so many dear friends, i met dan in fall '63 at greene twp. he was strong as a bull but wouldn't hurt a flea if he could avoid it. funny, happy, honest, a good friend and roommate at purdue. happy trails, dan, we'll see you again, too soon.
I knew Mike from Jackson HS and he became a dear friend at Purdue. We must have played a thousand hands of euchre on second floor of Harrison Hall! Around '85 he brought wife and kids to our house in sbn to swim. We saw him and his dad many times at Bendix Woods during Sugar Camp Days, and all his family were happy and gracious. I lost track for a while but got a wedding invitation from AZ and a picture of him and his motorcycle. He brought joy to the world and we will never forget him. Norm Chadwick jhs1969
Michael Eugene Wilson, 66, passed away peacefully on Monday, February 18, 2019 at his home in Tucson, AZ with his wife KLynn Wilson and his dog Frankie by his side after battling chronic illnesses for several years.
Mike was born on July 4, 1952 in La Porte, IN to Eugene Freer and Jane (Barnhart) Wilson. Shortly thereafter, the family moved to South Bend, IN, where Eugene and his father Phelix Leotis Wilson started Wilson Fence Company. Mike also resided in Warsaw, IN and Huntington, IN before moving to Tucson in 2001.
Along with his wife, he is survived by his two children, Jeffrey (Krissy) Wilson and Lauren (Jedd) Smith and three grandchildren, Josie Lynn, Elizabeth Jane, and Henry Michael Wilson; his three step-children Amber Summers, Tiffany Navarette, and Josh Navarette, and ten step-grandchildren Josiah, Myalynn, Noah, Monroe, Mica, Seleste, Anessa, Lielea, Diesel, and Zylas. He is also survived by brothers, Mark (Nancy) Wilson of Elkhart, IN, Matt (Lou Anne) Wilson of South Bend, and sister Cheryl (Wilson) McAuley of Longview, WA, and uncle Dan (Grace) Wilson of Bellevue, NE, and multiple cousins, nieces and nephews. Mike’s parents, Eugene and Jane, preceded him in death.
Mike was a graduate of Culver Summer Academy, a 1970 graduate of Andrew Jackson High School, and then went on to graduate from Purdue University in 1974. While at Purdue, he served as president of his fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon. After graduating, he served in multiple sales and management roles with Dale Skinner & Associates Insurance Agency, Certanium Alloys, Premier, Mittler, and later at Sears, Roebuck and Company where he retired in 2013.
Mike was a member of Grace United Methodist Church while living in South Bend, and later First United Methodist Church in Warsaw, serving as a senior youth group leader and choir member. He served as Worshipful Master of Warsaw Lodge #73, F. & A.M. He sang in a barbershop quartet, enjoyed playing the guitar, had great taste in music, and was an avid reader. He had a keen interest in his family genealogy and shared his research with other family members. His sense of humor, cheerful disposition, and love will be missed by many.
Services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, 2019 at Grace United Methodist Church in South Bend, where members of Warsaw Lodge #73, F. & A.M. will also conduct a Masonic memorial. Rev. Mary Hubbard and Rev. David Schrader will officiate. Graveside services will follow at Southlawn Cemetery. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at Grace United Methodist Church.
