Dear Shan, Jim and Jackie. We just learned of this tragic and deeply sad news of sweet Wilkins death. There are no words other to say that We are so sorry and cannot begin to imagine your pain.
May we find our way to successful treatment of addictions and no parent ever have to bury their child this way again.
Thinking of you with much compassion and peace

Parents, sister and grandparents, My family and I would like to offer our condolences upon the passing of your son, brother and grandson. Our prayer shall be f not only for comfort but that bringing his story to light another may be saved. Addictition knows NO boundaries be them Social or otherwise. There is however comfort in knowing that Wilkins is now in the loving arms of Jesus to Never be tempted again.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

My heart aches with this loss and my love is with all of you. I will always remember Wilkins with a huge grin on his face and sparkle in his eye. Memories of him and Steven getting into mischief are golden pieces of my childhood that I will hold even more dearly to my heart.
