Gouldsboro
David Edward Wilkinson, 80, passed away on February 23, 2026, at an Ellsworth hospital. He was born on June 18, 1945, the son of Alan F. and Evelyn C. (Hammond) Wilkinson.
After graduating from high school, David enlisted in the United States Navy, where he served for four years. David became an electrician and started his own company, Wilkinson Electric.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Beverly Jean (Walls) Wilkinson, son Brad Wilkinson, daughter Sarah (Wilkinson) Zayas, and three grandchildren.
David was a light in our lives. He focused on the positive in every situation. David chose to live his life to the fullest, and everyone who knew him had a deep admiration for his strength and determination.
His real joy was being in his garden, growing vegetables and flowers, and crawling around pulling weeds. He was most at peace being surrounded by nature.
At David's request, services will be private. Condolences may be expressed at www.acadiacremation.com
