The light of the world has greatly been dimmed – while heaven is beaming with unspeakable brightness.
Upon the arrival of Prince Wilder, the heavens loved him but let him be wild and free. Wilder was the gleam of his parents’ eyes, along with every person who ever met that smiling face. From the delivery room on February 25, 2016 until October 11, 2018, Wilder’s touch made everyone’s life seem like an answer to unspoken prayers. Many touched can attest.
Wilder loved anything involving P. J. Masks (Catboy!) or Paw Patrol. He loved going on adventures with his Mom, especially seeing the Robots at the science museum. ‘ Fat Gurl Barkleigh’ was his fur sister and faithful partner in crime. Last, but surely not least, “Wild Butt” loved dressing as Superman, whose sweet face brought his fighter Daddy to his knees.
Wilder may have left early, but will be followed in time by his loving mother, Amber Odom and his father Bubba McDaniel. Also following will be his siblings, Bryan McDaniel and Emma McDaniel; his maternal grandparents Dina and David Taylor; paternal grandparents, Karen and Scott Burke, Bob and Diane McDaniel. Numerous aunts, uncles and cousins are also in tote.
The family will receive friends Monday, October 15, 2018 from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM at Owens and Brumley Funeral Home of Wichita Falls. Funeral Services will be held 2:00 PM Tuesday, October 16, 2018 at First Baptist Church of Wichita Falls with Dr. Bob McCartney officiating. Graveside services and interment will immediately follow at Bowman Cemetery. A ‘Bike’ escort is encouraged.
All arrangements are under the direction of Owens and Brumley Funeral Home of Wichita Falls.

God stay with Wilder and his family. In my beliefs, I find some solace. There is only a thin veil that separates us from our loved ones who are gone. They are with us always, we can almost feel them. When you feel his presence, know that it is he who is there embracing you, comforting you, loving you, waiting for the moment when you could meet again. Pray. Cry. Love. Feel. Allow yourself to feel everything. Pray to God whenever you need and even when you do not need it. And when you do not have the strength, and when you want to give up, pray even more. Know that Wilder is still with you, in spirit. Know that you are not alone. You have a multitude of loving friends who are open and ready to listen to you, to cry together, to give you love all the time. I'm far away, I do not know you personally, but please, feel embraced at that moment.

Bubba,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. No person on earth should ever know the pain of burying their own child. Although I didn't know wilder, if he was anything at all like his daddy, then I know he was an amazing little guy. Lean on God and those of us that love you. You've got a long road ahead. Praying daily for you and Amber both. Lovr you so much.
