STEVEN WILKINSON

June 20, 1953 - Mar. 17, 2014

Husband, Father, Brother, Son, Friend and Mentor on March 17, 2014, Steve left this world to join his Lord and other members of his family in Heaven. Born June 20, 1953, Steve blessed our lives with his presence for 60 years. Steve was born in Long Beach, California and was raised in El Centro, CA, where he lived most of his life running his Land Leveling Business and farming, Wilkinson Farms. In September 25, 1993 he married his wife Kilah in Bullhead City, AZ in front of their precious children and loved ones. In 2000, Steve sold his businesses and went to work for Seminis Seed Co. and then he was given the opportunity to travel around the world for the company in which he forged long lasting friendships with those he traveled with and met in Thailand, France, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru and Chile. When he returned, he was given the opportunity to transfer to the Filer, Idaho branch of Seminis and after traveling to Twin Falls, he and his wife fell in love with the people and the area. In 2003, Steve, his wife and daughter Megan moved to Twin Falls to start another adventure in his life with many new friends and considered this home.
Steve loved to fish and always looked forward to his annual fishing trip with his buddies, Tim, Chip, Bill, John, Dick and Glen to Corn Creek on the Salmon River. Steve served as a beacon of Love, Respect, Ethic and Friendship to anyone that he came in contact with.
He survived by his wife, Kilah; sons and wives, Nick (Kara), Pat (Kristen) and Sean (Naomi); daughters Samantha and Megan, grandsons Cruz, Indy and soon-to-be grandbaby #3 in October; brothers and wives, John (Pam) and Jeff; sister, Stacy; brothers-in-law and wives, Mickey (Peggy), Geoff (Linsey); father and stepmother, Scott and Audrey and father and mother-in-law, Jim and Claire and many nieces and nephews that all loved him very much!
