David Grant Wilhelm

Dave is still with me. All those who have been touched by his compassion, knowledge, incredible drive and humor can only live better lives having known him.

My most sincere sympathy Sue. What lovely expressions of kindness have been shared. You and your family remain in my prayers. Joanne T.

I had the great pleasure of working with Dave in the Partial Hospital Program for the past 2 1/2 years. I called him Mr. Mensch, "Dan" ( it's a long story), my coworker and dear friend. I had worked with him over 2 0 years on behalves of many clients that our 2 agencies shared. I was invited to a backyard party shortly after I moved to Marion and I met Dave who welcomed me to the neighborhood and told me the e-n-t-i-r-e history of Marion county and this city! He was a detail oriented...

I had the opportunity to work with Dave through his work at MACC. Dave was a great partner, always professional, caring, and prioritizing the needs of the mutual individuals we served. My heartfelt sympathies to his family.

I knew Dave from the partial hospitalization program at Marion general. He was kind and direct. Which was exactly what I needed. Prayers for all those who feel his loss but still celebrate the amazing life he had and his willingness to give to help so many.

I worked with Dave as part of the MGH administration when planning for expansion of mental health services over the years. He was truly a compassionate and passionate supporter of local care for those in need. I am grateful to have known him. My condolences to his entire family.

I worked with Dave for many years while a police officer with the Marion Police Department, trying to help the mentally ill and those in time of crisis. It is quite evident reading the obituary that Dave's true passion was helping the mentally ill and those with substance abuse addictions. He worked with that passion and drive - for 39 plus years. I consider him a patriarch figure in Marion County's mental health service programs/systems. My condolences to the family.
