Michael Wilson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Evergreen Funeral Home on Oct. 18, 2024.
Michael Wayne Wilson passed into oblivion on October 12, 2024. He was born on February 26, 1955, in El Paso (Fort Bliss), Texas. His parents, now deceased, were Charles Edward Wilson and Margie Dale (Baker) Wilson of Kentucky. Mr. Wilson leaves no heirs.
Mr. Wilson attended eleven different schools, graduating from Harrison high School in Colorado Springs, May 1973. He completed his undergraduate degree in Business Administration-Marketing at Colorado State University-Pueblo in 1979. He then was employed by the State of Colorado, Department of Labor and Employment. He also was a volunteer for many cleft lip and cleft palate organizations, both in the United States and the United Kingdom. One accomplishment of which he was proud was the creation of an organization whose purpose was the uniting of all graduating years of Harrison High School into one grand reunion. He, along with a dedicated committee, established the first all year's reunion in 2009 and again in 2012, at which point he resigned form the committee. Mr. Wilson also enjoyed national and international travel.
Being a true believer of personal choice, Mr. Wilson would prefer folks to donate to the charity of their choice, or provide flowers. There is no religious preference.

My friend Nassara and I met Michael through his voluntary work and then became friends. Michael had a great sense of humour and his love for travelling meant we got to see him when he visited the UK.

I worked with Michael when he worked for the State Unemployment office. He was funny and a joy to work with. I am shocked to learn of his passing, as I just found out when I went to wish him Happy Birthday. May you rest in peace my friend.

Michael enjoyed meeting people, he was proud of his international travels and loved photography. He had a desire to see classmates from HHS congregate together all under one roof so when he had the opportunity to help make it happen he was right there front and center. Always sad to see when one of our HHS alumnus pass. Life is short, be kind, be present and know that one day our time will be up as well. Condolences to his relatives.

Got to know Michael during online chats in regard to an all year reunion. Once we all sat down in the same room, a wonderful took place. The committee, lead by Michael, worked magic and the all year reunion happened. Enjoyed working along side Michael. He will be missed.
