Michael Wilson Obituary
Michael Stephen Wilson, Born March 5, 1945, in Salt Lake City, Utah, passed away on Wednesday, November 4, 2020. He was the youngest son of 5 children of the late Murrlle Staker Wilson and Pearl Marie West. He graduated from Granite High School and attended the University of Utah. He married Laura Eve Jorgensen on September 6, 1966, in the Salt Lake Temple.

He also had a strong love for his dogs.
Mike was a prominent business owner in Albuquerque, New Mexico in the Petroleum Industry for fifty plus years. He was a member of the Optimist Club of Albuquerque and served in the Army National Guard. He was generous to those he met and never closed a door to a person who needed help. His generous heart and wonderful sense of humor touched everyone who knew him, he was always ready to crack a joke and loved making people laugh. He enjoyed vacationing in Yellowstone from the time he was a young boy and loved fly fishing. He also enjoyed multiple trips with his family to Utah, Lake Powell, and Elephant Butte Lake.
