Michael Wild Obituary

WILD, Michael
Born January 30, 1963. Passed away on May 1, 2005. Michael is survived by his wife Renee, son Austin and many loving relatives. He was a wonderful father, a deeply loving husband and a most cherished family member. His untimely death has shocked our family, but we are sure he would want us to forge ahead with the dignity he displayed daily. Michael graduated Suma Cum laude and was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He was a very well respected physician who throughout his practice of medicine affected many lives. He has numerous accounts from patients who loved him dearly. His trust was reflected in the many accounts of parents insisting on naming their children, Michael. Words can not express the sorrow the family is enduring. However, outpouring of calls, notes, and messages from the many people over the last several days, since his death, have spoken volumes about his universal respect, which will help us endure bravely and move ahead as a family. There will be a viewing Thursday, May 4th, from 4-8pm and a funeral service Friday at 1pm at Miller Funeral Home, Folsom, CA.

What a wonderful and fun human being. I loved Mike!

Always grateful for Dr. Wild being brought into our lives first as an acclaimed OB/GYN and soon after as a trusted caring friend. We speak of him often, especially every January 30th when I reminisce to my children about how nervous I was on 1-30-2000 that Dr. Wild (celebrating his birthday in NYC) would not be available to deliver our now-almost-25-year-old-son, whom he lovingly brought into our world on my preferred date of 2-2-2000!
We often pray and think about Renee, Austin, Tim and all others he cradled in his great big heart. Find solace in knowing how loved you are.

21 years ago today, Dr. Wild delivered our healthy baby boy. Every January 30th, we remember Dr. Wild’s birthday and how nervous I was that I’d go into labor while he and Renee were celebrating his birthday weekend in Manhattan. After suffering a miscarriage of our first pregnancy, on January 22, 1999 I awoke from my D & C to Dr. Wild holding my hand, saying, “In one year, I will be standing here delivering your healthy baby.” I quickly replied, “Take it easy. No decisions have been made” because we were so devastated. Days after, we had a two-hour telephone conversation with him re our fetal testing. Only through his hopefulness and constant reassurances, we did get pregnant again, and our due date was January 22nd, exactly as Dr. Wild had predicted! Having learned of our earlier miscarriage at our first ultrasound, we were very worried at our sonogram with pregnancy #2. Dr. Wild, always the great comforter, said, “Listen. It’s perfect. J-E-T-S” knowing my husband was a big Dolphins fan. Each time I’d point to my big belly and say, “This is all because of you” (being I was terribly hesitant to ever risk another miscarriage again), he’d smile with those dimples and say, “Shhh. That doesn’t sound right.” After a two-day labor, which he very patiently stayed at our side through, he visited me at New Island Hospital as a friend and gifted us with a Jets outfit for our son. Another fond memory is of how happy he was when Austin described his first day of kindergarten by giving two thumbs up. When he moved to California, we tried to have his joy of being close to Tim, whom he spoke of with such pride, overshadow our disappointment that he would not deliver our next child. Although I’m crying at the loss of such an outstanding individual in every aspect, not only his expertise as a brilliant doctor, I hope to bring happiness to his family for he adored you with his great big heart and soul, always mentioning and displaying his love for all his family! We feel extraordinarily blessed to having had him in our lives first as a doctor and then as a friend. How much more enchanted you are as his family! Hoping you’ll always feel his presence with a smile and appreciation for the magic of Michael Wild!

To the Wild family, recently hearing about Mike was heart wrenching to me. Tim, I can not imagine how you feel. I cant say this enough how a wonderful man Mike was. He was so funny, loving and outgoing and I was happy to have known him as the rest of your family. I hope you can feel peace at some point, but know I am thinking and caring for you all. Barb Wild

You will always be in our thoughts, prayers and great memories.

Love you and miss you.

Dear Tim,
I found out earlier today that it has been 5 yrs! I believe this little bird was sent to remind me of Dr.Wild and to never forget him. I wrote an entry in the beginning then a couple years after. I wrote about a little bird bringing you signs to let you know that Dr.Wild is at peace and never forgotten. Well, this time the little bird came my way to give me that sign. That is the reason I am writing again. 5 yrs!!! I pray that you are healing and that your days are getting easier and easier. I will never forget Dr.Wild's smile. I only wish that you are able to smile that way too. I pray that God has helped you these past 5yrs to be able to breathe again and not feel that pain in your heart that you felt back then. It will get easier in time. I remember sending a separate e-mail with a poem attached, a few yrs ago. I hope it brought you a smile and a warm feeling in your heart from reading it. I wish you and your family strength and comfort. I wish you peace and happiness. Happiness from the memories that you have of Dr.Wild, and happiness that you have your adorable family for support. As I said 5yrs ago, God bless you all. My prayers are with you.

Hi Mike,

I visited your ob/gyn department at Roseville Kaiser today for the first time. Just wanted to let you know how many people appreciated you and touched by you. One of the nurses, Connie Cazares, still remembers you as a great physician with great heart, your jokes and your dimples brightened up the entire department.

BTW, Joshua became a JETS fan like you started this past NFL season. Because of you, we look forward to every JETS season.

We all miss you dearly!!!

Your loving sis,
Claudia

It has been 5 years since Michael died. I know many of us think about him daily, but today is a day for me to devote most of the day to remembering how great a person Mike was and how many lives he touched. Of course I continue to miss him dearly!
God Bless Michael

Today is four years since Michael passed. My daughter was only 4 then, my two sons 7 and 9. I wonder how much they remember? This is the first time in 4 years I worked on May 1st, it wasn't as bad as I thought, I actually had a good day, maybe with Mike's help :).
I will love you and miss you forever Mickey,

Its hard to believe its been three years since we lost a great person and I lost my best friend. I have a picture of the two of us that I see each day as I grab my keys and go off to work. It reminds me of all the great times was always had together. Mike was a great person, and will be in our thoughts forever.

I miss you Mike.

My Last entry was May 1st 2007. I would like to try to keep a tradition of placing an entry in once a year. I what to thank everyone who has recognised what a great person Mike was, I am learning to smile about memories, and tell stories. I don't want my kids to forget their uncle. He was funny, smart, and a great brother and friend.
Today I will take my Uncle Dave's advise and celebrate Mike's life!
God Bless,

Dedicated to Dr Michael Wild and Family,
Inspired By, Dr Michael Wild.

In my fantasy I see a fair world.
Where everyone lives in peace and honesty.
I dream of a place to live that is always free, Like the cloud that floats.

In my fantasy exists a warm wind,
That breathes into the city, like a friend. I dream of souls that are always free, Like the clouds that floats, Full of Humanity in the depths of the soul.

God Bless you All,
Dolores Drury

October 29, 2007

Hello Tim,
My name is Angela Sarola
(formerly Depalo). My
sister Dolores wrote to you
a few days ago about a post-
op experience she had
involving your brother.
Well, if she had Michael
Wild on the brain it was
because of me. I met
Michael in 1998. I was
going through an extremely
difficult time in my life,
that is when he saved my
twins and he saved my soul.
I only just recently found
out about his death. Who
knew insomnia-an internet
search and lost friends
could unearth such a
devastaing reality. I'm
still fighting the waves of
nausea that come upon me
when I think about it.
Because I had an extremely
difficult pregnancy and a
laundry list of
complications after
delivery, he and I got to
spend a good amount of time
together. We talked about
Pink Floyd, Bruce
Springsteen, and the
complications of
relationships. He spoke of
you so often. He thought
you hung the moon! It was
always "Tim this...and Tim
that". It was truly heart-
warming. It took me a long
time to wrap my head around
the fact that it was ok for
me to love him. To know that
loving didnt have to
mean "having", and that
the "having" wasnt the point
at all. Because if I can
feel love, doesnt that
enrich me? The answer is
absolutely YES! I was and
am changed for knowing and
loving Michael Wild,and it
took years for me to admit
it to myself and own that
feeling. The details of how
I grew so attached to him
are so unimportant now. I
was happy for him when I
found out he moved to
California, because I
thought he would find
happiness, and I knew being
near you would be so good
for him. I myself moved to
Nashville, so many changes
in life. But through all
the years, and all the
geography. Michael was in
my prayers everyday. What
is ironic is that these last
two years, I have been
praying for him and he has
been closer to God then I
was. I wont take up any
more of your time. I am not
even sure what I am
accomplishing by contacting
you, except to say that I am
just trying to say goodbye
to someone who was at the
very least, a catalyst in my
life, and I guess contacting
the person he loved most
would give me the chance to
at least say what a blessing
it was to know him, to spend
time with him, to hear him
laugh, and even catch his
melancholy. I guess I'll
just end my rambling by
saying Michael Wild will now
and forever own a piece of
my heart, because I loved
him...I loved him...
Take care of yourself and
your family. Michael doesnt
need my prayers any longer.
So, I'll pray for his
beloved family.
Love and Prayers,
Angie

Hello,I did not know your
bother. My sister Angela
Depalo, was a patient of Dr.
Michael Wild. She loved him
Dearly and just recently found
out about his death. She is
extremly sad, and broken
hearted. She shared a great
respect and love for the man
that he was, and still is. We
recently lost our Dad, and
with that lost I lost my
faith. two weeks ago today, I
had a hysterectomy,I was left
in the recovery room for
hours, and know one came to me
to tell me that my surgery was
over, and all went well. But
out of no where, a voice of a
woman said,"Dr wild said
surgery is done" Dr. Wild was
there with me I heard his
name! I called the nurse over
and asked her do you have a
Dr. Wild here on Staff, She
said let me Look, how do you
spell that name. I told her
the spelling, She Said No
sorry there is no Dr. Wild on
staff here. My sister might
have said his name once or
twice to me. There was no
reason for me to have had him
even in my sub-thoughts! I DID
NOT KNOW HIM! My sister,
Angela did.But I know for a
fact he was in that recovery
room with me. I am telling
this story to you, because I
want you to know he is very
much around all those he
loved. and he is still doing
the things he loved to do.
Even in his field of work.
Your brother has renewed my
broken faith. He has brought
me back to my faith. Again I
have to tell you I did not
know your brother at all, My
sister Angela might have
mentioned his name to me once
or twice and that was 9 years
ago! Your Brother goes on in
great spirit! and is with you
and all whom he loved. He was
even with me in the recovery
room at St. Barnubus. in NJ. I
never new him I never met him.
But I know Him now! I will
never forget what he gave back
to me. My lost faith. This was
only two weeks ago. I am
renewed! Thank you Dr. Michael
Wild, and, your sweet gentle,
and loving spirit.
Thank you,
God bless you and your family
forever,
Dolores Drury

Life has a way of throwing curve balls at you, sometimes dreadfully fiery ones. I learned that when my beautiful twin brother Mike died exactly two years ago today. He was an amazing person with an extremely affable personality. He taught me many things while he was alive, although we were contemporaries. He has also taught me through his death. I have learned to cherish my immediate family and my extended family much more. I am lucky to have what I have, not material things, I mean the deep love of all of my close family members. Through Mike’s death, I have started to be much closer to my uncle Dave, who is by all accounts, is a terrific guy. I’ve learned more about my cousins and aunts and I think they have learned more about me (albeit some things were a bit shocking). We all lost Grandma Berg this year, a wonderful, witty person who will continue to fill my heart with joy and laughter with every witty comment I hear from others. She was the best!!!
My point is that even in death, cherish ones teach us. Mike taught me to slow down, appreciate and look around at what I have to be grateful for, grandma taught me selflessness, caring and comedy are terrific traits to maintain your entire life. I am grateful to both of them. Rest my dear brother, I miss you, but I know you are at peace. Rest my dear grandmother, I loved you deeply, but I know you are in a more comfortable place.

I’m Still Lost...

Where do I go to watch football on a lazy Sunday?
Where do I go?
Where do I go to share an ice cold beer and some laughs?
Where do I go?
Who wants to go for a quick run?
Who wants to talk about life?
Who wants to workout?
Where do I go?
I’m still so lost......
Can’t find my way....still can’t find my way!!

Two years? It seems as if it were just yesterday. Time goes by so fast. So fast that it makes us realize that life is too short. I have not forgotten Dr.Wild and never will. I constantly run into things that remind me of him while I am at work. He was such a great person with a good heart. I know that he is very happy in heaven with God, and that he wishes the same happiness for us on earth. Tim, someday you will see your brother again and your sorrow will end. Try to stay focused on the people who love you so very much. They too feel your pain and wish that the sadness would go away. You too, can be happy like your brother. Think of the great times that you had with him from the day you were born. Think of the funnniest moments like playing tricks on people who didn't know you. Thay will bring a smile to your face. I know that Dr.Wild wants you to be happy and to carry on. Try to enjoy what you have now, continue reaching out to your family because someday, we too will not be here either. I pray that your sorrow eases away little by little every day. That your sorrow be replaced with happiness, the same kind that your brother brought to your life. Believe me, he is still watching over you and your entire family all the way to New York and back. May God give you signs throughout the years to let you know that Dr.Wild is doing good and is very happy. Even if its a little bird chirrping away. Something that will allow your feelings to be at ease. God bless you and your family- Connie

Mike, this is the time of year that we got to share some of my most precious memories. You and I watching our beloved Jets and of course the Mets as they try to win another World Series.
1986 Shea stadium, the greatest of times.

I know your watching and cheering them on from above, but we will be thinking of you this fall and always.

Sometimes you have to give up your fight,
Sometimes what you think you had you didn’t, or maybe didn’t realize,
Sometimes you pick your battles and live to fight again,
Sometimes you’ve had enough, and don’t need to say anything;
You merely give up and float away…….

If heaven gets full I want you to know,

There is a place in my heart where you can go,

It may not be the paradise presented out there,

I’m sure in my heart there’s some pain you will bare.

If heaven gets full, please don’t hesitate a bit,

Although my hearts tight, I will make you fit,

You see it’s tight from the pain, it’s also empty from gloom,

So if heaven gets full, my heart will find room.

If heaven doesn’t get full, but you just want a trip,

A place you can hide to escape a bit,

The room in my heart will be open for sure,

I hope that you visit to help me endure,

If heaven is full Mike, please do come around,

Bless me with your dimples and erase my frown,

I feel that you will, I know it may take a while,

But I promise with you in my heart I will smile!!!!

I sent a letter a few days ago I suppose it didn't go thru I wanted to tell Estela that Mike wouldn't want you to be the color black He would want you to rejoice in your new life and His!! I'm sure you make him sad being so sad yourself and since you knew him you should know that he would want you to rejoice in what you have what he was able to give you and remember him with Love, not sorrow Be blessed he Was your doctor and pass that happiness on to your child in his memory do not make it sad make it a loving memory

Black

The color that best defines Estela is the color black. Ever since Estela’s friend past away last year on May 1, 2005, she has been feeling empty inside. She can’t really describe this feeling, but is a feeling that she carries every day. This friend meant a lot to her. He was there to deliver her miracle baby. He was there when she was feeling blue. He was there when she had a silly medical question and he eased the anxiety she once felt. Ever since his death, Estela wonders, why him what did he do so wrong in earth to deserve this? This friend was a great support to her and her family. This friend was in the circle of happiness in Estela’s life. The miracle of her getting pregnant and carrying the baby full term, was a blessing for Estela. Once Estela found out of his death, she felt like the world had shattered before her eyes. Estela has not been the same since that day on May 1, 2005. Her state of mind has drifted and left with a wonder. She was full of happiness, but all of a sudden it was taken away. Every day Estela sees her miracle baby, he reminds her about her friend. Now Estela thinks of his last words of how he was proud of her to follow her dream of becoming a Register Nurse. Estela became a very sad person inside. She keeps these feelings inside, because she feels like no one understands. She walks around feeling like she is a shadow in this world. She sees her self like a dark cloud. Like every one says when it rains it pours. Estela has experience many bad and good thing. The best good thing now is she is trying to reach her goal. This friend that meant a lot to Estela has a name. His name was Michael. Estela named her miracle baby after him. To honor a good doctor, a good friend and a good support to the family. He is missed and always remembered. It is hard to let go, of someone so special to Estela that is why she describes herself as the color black.

When you grow up with someone who was able to finish your sentences and thoughts, there is no world in the English language for that loss. I miss his adorable smile, our ability to talk about anything from medicine to football, and he would always just “get it”, no explanation need. If you are very blessed with that type of relationship, grab on tight and tell that person how much you love them, before GOD takes them away. I must have picked up my cell phone a hundred times this first year before a realized I was dialing air.

What I miss most is just talking to hid about simple things like “how about that Jets pick, can you believe the Mets…” ….I wake-up thinking about him. Spend my day thinking about him, and when I do sleep it’s because I have to force myself from thinking about him.

I know there is incredible suffering in this world right now, suffering we don’t even have words for yet. I know I am blessed with loving caring family throughout the country!!!

I feel for all of the US families who are going through this daily….It’s hard to break those numbers into real people, but even if one was as wonderful as Mike (and I’m sure there were) What a Hell of a loss!!!!

Aunt Nancy

April 18, 2006

Happy Easter in Heaven, Mike!! We were wondering how they celebrate up there?! Everyone misses you dearly and I was wondering if God would let you send a sign to your family to let them know how happy you are and that you Are still with them God Bless you and watch over them

January 30, 2006

Happy Birthday Mike, you were the best friend a person could ever ask for. Your smile, laughter and friendship are missed everyday by me and everyone that had the opportunity to know you.

A day doesn't go by that I dont think of you and wish I could have just one more laugh, one more moment, one more great time with you their to enjoy life with.

You are and always will be a special person to me, Judy and our family. You will live with our family forever and will never be forgotten.

I love you buddy.

Water

Constant thoughts flowing from a stream of consciousness,

Hot tears flowing from the river of a broken soul,

Severe suffering wading in a lake of sorrow,

Deep pain floating in a sea of despair,

Lost,

Lost,

All lost,

Within the water,

….. Life and Death.

I know Pain

I know pain thought the little boy when he scraped his little knee,

father took him in his arms and hugged him compassionately,

I know pain thought the boy turned man when he failed his physics test,

father spoke on the phone and put the pain to rest,

I know pain said the married man when he didn’t get the promotion,

father listened and thoughtfully counseled his emotion,

I know pain said the man turned grey, when his father was laid to rest,

“Father I hope you hear me and help me through this tragic test”.

Father didn’t answer, not like he did before,

man turned grey understood and hoped he could endure,

I know pain said the little boy when he scraped his little knee,

man turned grey gave a hug and reassured him passionately,

We will all know pain in a way, some simple, some too harsh to bear,

It is coping and surviving which gives this life it’s scare.

Something brought me back to this guestbook today. I'm not sure really what it was exactly but after reading the most recent entries, I'm so sad. To Dr. Wild's brother......hang in there, I can't imagine the pain your feeling but it's evident that it is tremendous. I hope that you are getting comfort from all the entries and of course your family. He was a great man. I was truly touched by his gentle spirit and understanding way about him.

I was a patient of "Dr. Mike's" when he was in practice in Bethpage, NY. I missed having him deliver my son, who is now 6 by one day. However, he was with me through a 3 day on and off labor. I want you to know that he was wonderful. Calming. Loving. Caring. One in a million. I just recently learned of your tragic loss. I was truly heartbroken as were my 3 sisters-in-law who were also his patients. Our prayers are with you and your family.

To Austin, your Dad spoke about you often. And when he did, his face would light up like a Christmas tree. He adored you and was so proud of you.

To the entire family, I know that life for you seems unbearable right now and I pray that God helps you heal.

Now Comes The Night

When the hour is upon us

and our beauty surely gone

no you will not be forgotten

no you will not be alone.

And when the day has all but ended

and our echo starts to fade

no you will not be alone then

and you will not be afraid.

When the fog has finally lifted

from my cold and tired brow

no I will not leave you crying

and I will not let you down

no I will not let you down.

Now comes the night

feel it fading away

and the soul underneath

is it all that remains

so just slide over here

leave your fear in the fray

let us hold to each other

till the end of our days...

In loving remembrance of a cherished soul...forever, peace in his memory, love in his heart.

Unplanned Journey

Welcome aboard, there are a few things you should know before we take off…..

While on board, you will experience intense suffering,
Followed by a feeling of immense loss,
Masks will fall from above, if you are with little children,
Please put your mask on first, they will not need one.

You didn’t think you were booked for this flight?
You didn’t expect this ride?
Well, you really ought to know by now,
Flights are already scheduled,
We certainly don’t need your permission!

In the likely event of your world crashing and burning,
Please be aware of all exit signs, but don’t use them, you will have to bear it out.
No alcohol or numbing drugs will be served during this flight,
Do you think you’ve lost your mind?

My dear friend, this is the flight of Life,
There is no first class, pain is boundless.
You may have been booked long ago,
We truly don’t know, we don’t keep track of that sort of thing.

One more thing, before we are on our way,
It is an earthly sin to tamper with any sensitive detectors,
You can’t change anything that has happened,
Life is just tough sometimes…

You ought to know by now,
Flights are already scheduled,

Thanks for flying, we will see you again……

Little Blue Rock

Funny how small we are,

Nothing around for light-years,

Tiny little blue rock sailing through emptiness,

Little blue rock, nothing but a speck in the Universe.

So small, with pain so immense,

Universal earthly pain,

Overflowing the skies,

Many searching for answers and comfort,

Finding little of both.

Said you would always be,

Count on you, I could,

Your words fell into the cold water,

Now it’s difficult to trust words,

Sailing so fast on this little blue rock, feeling so

alone.

So small, with pain so immense,

Universal Earthly pain,

Need to accept and let go,

Is that possible with my mortal sense,

Walk through life without much interest now,

My sanctuary on this difficult planet has gone,

It’s me and this blue rock.

So small, with pain so immense,

Universal Earthly pain,

Overflowing the skies,

Many searching for answers and comfort,

Finding little of both.

Where? Where did you go?

Some say they know, so confident,

I wish I could know too,

You’ve been so difficult to find.

So small, with pain so immense,

Universal Earthly pain

Overflowing the skies

So many searching for answers and comfort

Finding little of both

Please someone show me where He is!

Up in the heavens there is a star of honor and love. With every passing night we see it wink at as in the sky. It will burn out eventually, but the love and caring will never burn out.

My dad told me tons of stories about Uncle Mike and I have experienced it myself. Though I have known him for only a few years I know the passion of Uncle Mike.

My dad has shown me pictures of his childhood memories. If I were there I would of known my uncle better; but i've known him long enough to know that he was a fantastic uncle. Me and my family miss him.

Only in my dreams

I saw you last night,
You were near but we didn’t talk,
We never really had to talk Mick,
We always just knew.

I’ll never truly understand why,
I’ll never really understand how,
Just can’t as I walk this mysterious path in life.

Maybe some night we’ll talk,
It sure would be nice,
That’s what I miss most,
Your absence is just too final for me!

Sometimes I dream you’re alive,
And I want to call everyone with the great news,
Then I awaken to the painful fact,
And have to face my empty world, just another day.

I’ll never truly understand why,
I’ll never really understand how,
Just can’t as I walk this mysterious path in life.

One day I hope we can sit down for that cup of coffee,
You know, remember those 65 year old twins we saw,
I want it to be like that,
Just like the old times,
Laugh and talk about life,
Even if it is only in my dreams.

Floating Far Away

Floating, floating, feel the cold hit my body, please

envelop me, please surround me, so cold,

Better now, feeling tired, very tired, this will work,

this will work.

Didn’t want to say goodbye, that’s not my style, you

see

Didn’t want it to be too sad…

Couldn’t take my life at all, I tried, Christ, I tried

Only pain, very deep pain, in my soul pain…...

Floating, floating, feeling free, peaceful now,

Dreaming, seeing my whole world

Only thinking about,long ago,

Me, Tom and Timmy, making snowmen, snow forts,

wrestling,

Hugging and loving my brothers,

Cold but fun, warm house with soup, smile from Mom,

life is good!

Didn’t want to say goodbye, that’s not my style you

see

Didn’t want it to be too sad…

Couldn’t take my life at all, I tried, Christ, I tried

Only pain, very deep pain, in my soul pain….

Floating, sleeping, dreaming...

The pain is gone, only peace now, where do I go now?

I don’t know….

Warm light, peace, so warm, no more cold, no more

pain.....

Didn’t want to say goodbye, that’s not my style, you

see

Didn’t want it to be too sad…

Couldn’t take my life at all, I tried Christ, I tried

Only pain, very deep pain, in my soul pain….

Floating, floating, far away

I just wanted to send my deepest sympathy's to Dr. Wild's family and friends. He was my Doctor at Kaiser, and just found out today from my new doctor that he passed. I was more than shocked and in disbelief. He delivered my son via c-section after multiple complications, and I can remember before he delivered my son, he leaned over and said not to worry because that day was a good day...that they would have the same birthday. My son was born January 30, 2004, and so my son and my family will always remember Michael.

My sweet brother died about four months ago. His death has made us all realize how tenuous our lives are. It has brought me closer to my cousins who live across the country and I am thankful for that. I truly appreciate what I have with my family and what memories of Mike I constantly uncover in my mind. He had endless compassion, a strong sense of fairness and an extremely bright mind. Mike could be philosophical one moment and in a split second joke with multiple layers of comedy for both children and adults to appreciate (without offending anyone). What I miss most are my daily conversations with him. We could easily finish each others sentences. We joked that our conversations would involve several manly grunts and a complex idea would be conveyed between us. I miss him with my whole body and soul. I hope to see him again and wish him the peace he did not find on earth.

Again, I can only reiterate, I did not know Michael directly, but indirectly from his brother Timothy. I can only imagine the similarities between the two of them through Dr. Tim Wild's warm and wonderful sharing of himself and his family in the operating room at ALL hours of days and nights. Obviously the world has lost so much with Michaels death. I am so sorry for his family, what they are going through and will continue to endure. Just know without any doubt, the world was a better place because Michael was in it, AND the family he left behind will carry on his ways. That in itself is truly an amazing gift from God. God bless you all.

I wanted to say I am soo sorry to Dr. Wilds family. I just found out the news. I am still in shock.. Dr. Wild was not only my doctor he was a friend that I knew I can talk to him about anything.. He delivered my son Tyler who is 6 years old now. Tyler was born 1 month early and Dr. Wild was there not only at every visit I had but was there to deliver him. I remember him saying to me the day after he delivered Tyler I asked Dr. Wild if he would like to hold Tyler and he said to me that I was the first patient he had that asked him to hold him after he was born.. Nobody else has ever asked him. I felt honored when he told me that.. I have kept intouch with him until he moved to California.. He had always mention going into practice with his brother. He wanted to go back to school for Libo and stuff and I told him he can practice on me.. He was flattered that I trusted him that much for him to practice on me.. We used to laugh.. He was always talking about his wife and son and his family and how much they ment to him.. I do have a pic of him holding Tyler that I will post so everyone can see it.. I just wanted to tell his family how sorry again I am and he is missed more then words can say.. When he told me he left his partner here in NY I was so devistated, but I knew in my heart he wanted to be near his brother in Cali. Again I am soo sorry. Dr. Wild thank you again for not only being such a gr8 doc, but being such a gr8 friend. Miss ya Karen

I just wanted to add that there isn't a day that goes by that Mom and I don't think about Michael in some way. I go on the computer each evening after work to see if there are any new entries into this book. Once in awhile I will read them all again and try not to cry... but that is impossible.. not just because he is no longer with us... but because of the incredible way he touched so many, many lives. I think of Renee,Austin,Tim and Tommy and how incredible their daily pain must be. My sister lived for her children and we lived their lives through her stories and pictures. I hadn't seen my nephews for years because of the distance but was so very proud of them all and was fascinated by their accomplishments. Young Tom was born when I was ten and the twins a year later! Arlene had her hands full with 3 babies in diapers! It was really like having triplets! I remember with fond memories, staying at their house in Bohemia, N.Y. to try to help out. I'm sure I was more of a hindrance than a help! I have so many pictures of the three of them all dressed in little red "footie" pajamas. I would love to share them with the family when I can. The entire Wild family has contributed to our lives in some way. As my daughter Samantha wrote earlier the "boys" were an incentive for her to continue her education and she is now a lawyer (partner) in a very reputable law firm. And SHE in turn encouraged me to go to college. Michael IS a real Angel now and is watching his family and will help guide them through their lives. Listen for him, he will be there

Aunt Lorraine & Uncle Dave Murray

June 24, 2005

When I heard the news of Michael’s untimely death I was of course shocked. I was deeply saddened because of his death and also because I really could not understand it. I knew Michael from the time of his birth and I had many fond memories of his growing up on Long Island and the many interactions with my children at family functions, I knew he was a great son and excellent student and that he was practicing medicine in California and was married with a son named Austin and had managed to retain his sense of humor and kindness as he grew up.

My most recent memory was a result of his grandmother having a heart attack and Michael showing up in the ICU at Jupiter Florida and immediately acting as liaison with the doctors and providing some comic relief in ICU, which was no small task.!

The first thing that struck me in California was the great amount of pain being exhibited.. It was almost tangible, you could almost touch it. It is expected that when someone as special as Michael passes that his wife, son, parents, brothers and close relatives would suffer from the loss. What was not expected was four young nurses, standing in the back of the funeral home crying, incapable if going forward to pay last respects to their hero doctor. It is not expected to find a patient who has a son, that she solely attributes to Michael’s skills, sitting in the funeral home every opening hour crying and suffering at his passing.

It is really not expected that friends from high school, 25 years later would fly across the country to bid farewell to their friend.

It is this expression of great pain that stands as a tribute to Michael’s life. He took the time and interest to deeply interact with all the people he came into contact with. What a tribute all theses suffering, hurting, people in pain are to his life.

Timothy Wild

June 12, 2005

It has been more then a month since Mike’s death and the pain is unrelenting. We miss him greatly and I wish everyone who knew him would feel comfortable in saying something about him since its tends to lend some solace to his family. God Bless you Mickey.

As William Shakespeare wrote, "Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." What made Michael great was his ability to make anyone around him feel at ease, whether it be through his warmth, candidness, or humor. I'll never forget how he always loved to tease me until my face turned red, all in the name of fun (sometimes I thought that was his favorite sport). What made him truly a great man however, was that he was committed to his love for his family and of humanity which, made him the doctor we all loved- full of integrity, empathy and care.

David Murray

May 24, 2005

Michael was such a role model and inspiration -- successful at everything he set out to do and yet remaining warm, funny and caring. I always knew that he, like his brothers, would go on to do great things.

At first I thought that one of the great tragedies of his passing was that we would never find out what great mark Michael would have made.

But then I read the tributes in this guest book from Michael's patients -- the mothers he guided through difficult deliveries, the families he calmed with his tender care, the babies he delivered with his skilled hands.

I was reminded of Jackie Robinson's famous words: "A life is not important except for the impact it has on other lives."

Those stories show us that Michael's life -- while far too short -- was tremendously important, perhaps more than we can ever comprehend.

Our loss brings pain and questions. We never know what the Lord has planned for us. But clearly Michael used his gifts to do great things that helped many, many people.

He lives on not just in the memories of all the people who loved him, but in the new lives that he ushered into the world.

I was always so proud to be his cousin. And Michael, along with Tom and Tim, will continue to be an inspiration.

Thomas Wild

May 21, 2005

I would like to thank everyone who loved and appreciated Michael enough to enter his or her thoughts and words of condolence. Each of us has at least one story that showed his wonderful self. We will all miss him dearly and never quite understand why he was taken from us. We will suffer the pain of mourning. There will be no explanation. No easy way to purge the pain from our hearts. The only possible thing for us to do is to have faith and belief that he will rest in peace “In The Pure Land”.

A very important person in my life told me that this life was chosen for Michael and that his soul lives on, only to return. Michael was truly a soulful person who believed he should provide comfort to others. He spend time with his patients to reassure them in there hour of need. He was a warm man who would kiss his father hello and goodbye. He found time to play with the children, teasing them until they would respond with “OH! Uncle Mike!”. He loved his family dearly. Renee and Austin were his life. He had a special love for his Mother. He had an extremely close relationship with his twin Timothy and a warm heartfelt love for his brother Thomas.

I could go on forever, but the most important thing is to honor Mike in some way. Some memorial is needed. A good place to start is here in this journal. It will live on and hopefully we will all find time to add stories or mark events that will show that Mike’s collective family remains close in his memory. He will know that our love and prayers will always be with him.

Michael, I will always love you and miss you terribly,

Dad

Dr. Wild and Gracie Schmidt 6/29/03 - we'll miss you!

Renee, Austin and the entire Wild family, My heart goes out to you! I only knew Dr. Wild for a short time during my 3rd pregnancy. Being from the Bay Area, I was very skeptical about Kaiser, but once my 1st appointment was over, I had a whole new look on Kaiser. I felt as if I knew hem my entire life. We laughed and shared stories about our families...He loved you all so dearly!
By the time that I was to deliver, I was so afraid that I wouldn't get to have him as my delivering doctor. He said that he would induce me about 5 days late and I begged him to do it two days earlier because I knew that he was going to be on call. He said that he couldn't do that, but I assured him that I would be seeing him that night. Sure enough I went into labor on that day and he was amazed when they told him as he walked through the door that there was someone waiting in room for him. This was the first time that my husband had met him and you would have thought that they were best friends. It was my 2 girlfriends against Dr. Wild and my husband. They went back and forth about women and men my entire labor and delivery. When I saw him a few weeks later in the office he said that my labor and delivery was the funnest that he had ever been at. I thanked him...(I know that I didnt have that much fun :O) ) I am sure that he has said this to many others, but like I have read in other entries, he made you feel as if you were his only patient.
When he left Kaiser I was very sad that I had lost such a great Dr. and a friend. When I heard of his untimley passing, I could only think of his family. My heart goes out you all.

I always enjoyed telling everyone about the twins in our family. Bill and I had the girls and Tom and Arlene had the boys. We always had problems figuring out who was Michael and who was Timothy. Their dimples were a little different and Michael had a little birth mark above his lip. Those were our only clues. But, it was fun guessing who was who, as Tom and Arlene did with our twin daughters. I have alot of fond memories when all of you were kids. We'll miss you Michael. Love, Aunt Diana

I remember Michael and always will. He is a permanent part of my memories and is embedded in my soul.

When I was eleven my sister Arlene gave us our first baby of the family to love and play with: Thomas, golden haired and as beautiful as an Angel. One year later twin boys arrived! They were tagged A and B at the hospital so we could tell them apart. If I remember correctly Michael was B and Timmy A How lucky could we get? Three little dolls. So wonderful, so much to love and love we did.

I would stay with them at their house to help and it was a fairyland for me. Three little boys in the tub, toys everywhere and Dr. Suess. I thought they were reading at two as they knew every word. Arlene giggled and told me they had memorized them. Still what brilliance as there were well over thirty books!

Of course my all time favorite memory is the "Great Cake Caper". Arlene made a cake for a party they were having and I was in charge of all three boys while she went down to the basement for the laundry. I followed Tommy into his room and came back to the kitchen as it was too quiet. There they were those two twins, in footy pajamas on tiptoes. Four arms up to the counter as high as their wrists, 20 fingers going a mile a minute picking that cake to smithereens. They could not even see it. Giggling their heads off and feeding each other. They looked at me in unison then at each other and went right on giggling and getting more. So much fun and love lived in that house.

As I read the entries of my nephews and his cousins I can feel their pain between the lines. The depth of your pain shows you how strong Love can be. Jesus is our promise of eternal life. If we truly believe and have faith we know we will see Michael again, Dimples and all. Carry Michael and this promise in your hearts and hold tight to it. Sleep my darling Angel until we meet again. Bruce and I send out Love and Prayers to everyone who has ever met and Loved Michael.

I will miss my brother every day for the rest of my life. This is still very unreal to me, I wish I could turn back time and somehow prevent what happened. Although recently we each lived on opposite coasts, it was always good just to hear his voice on the phone or best when we got together during the holidays. Unfortunately, we are all too busy these days and take for granted that we will always have time, that we will always be here. I still feel sometimes that if I pick up the phone, I could call him and we would have those conversations that I now cherish. We grew up as a very close family. I have fond childhood memories of the three of us wrestling constantly in the backseat of the car anytime our parents tried to take us somewhere. I have always been very proud of my brother and his many accomplishments, he was by far the most scholastic of the three of us. I always found myself boasting to my co-workers that my brother was a physican, usually working it in to a conversation by explaining how I lived with him while he was a resident in the hospital. I understand it will take time to learn to cope with the loss of my brother. Right now, I just miss being able to see or talk to him and won't accept that this may again never be possible. I miss you Mike...

May 15, 2005

I can't believe that I'm writing about my cousin Michael in his Obituary Guest Book. Words cannot express the deep, deep sorrow that I feel for Renee and the rest of my family.

I vividly remember the first time that I met Renee, when Michael brought her to a family Christmas gathering. I thought they were so cool, and I always looked up to them. I'm so glad that Michael and Renee found each other and were able to share such a wonderful life together, for as long as they had the chance.

When speaking to others about Michael, it was such a proud feeling to say "he's a doctor". He was an inspriation to me, which enabled me to strive for success in my own life. I only wish that he knew that. I have many fond memories of the times spent with Michael and his brothers when we were kids. They too were my favorite cousins.

After reading the entires in his guest book, I can see that Michael's patients also knew what a wonderful and compassionate person he was. My husband says "the good die young" - so true it is.

Lisa Lane

May 13, 2005

Dear Dr. Renee and Austin, first let me say I am so sorry for your loss. I was blessed to have met Dr. Wild - you know a person is special when you meet them for the first time and you feel like you have known them forever. I was a patient of Dr. Wild's at his new practice in Roseville and was saddened and shocked to hear of his death. I can only give my thoughts and prayers to you both and your family and know that as I read here I can tell that Dr. Wild touched many lives and he will not be forgotten. He truely was a beautiful person.

Lu Angelo

May 12, 2005

My deepest sympathy to Michaels entire family. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to meet Michael, however, I had the privilege of working with his amazing brother, Tim. I can only imagine from the entries in here and the incredibly loving comments I hear about Michael at Kaiser Sacramento, that he was as awsome a person and physician as Tim is. The absolute best of the best. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I pray that you all find peace and comfort knowing how many lives Michael touched, and how many lives will continue to be touched by the Wild family. God Bless.

Lisa Nolan

May 12, 2005

While growing up, the Wild boys were my absolute favorite cousins. Everything would just illuminate with their arrival and the fun would begin. As a child I could never tell the twins apart and my aunt would remind me that Michael had a mark (a freckle just above his upper lip), which worked for me until their teen years, when they grew mustaches. All three of my cousins were handsome, smart, caring, funny — they had a way of making me feel special, like I was the only person on earth. They are the very heart of all my favorite childhood memories. They were my heroes.

I’m heartbroken by this tragedy. There aren't words that can express it. I only wish there was something I could do to change things.

Renee, Austin, Aunt Arlene, Uncle Tom, Timothy, Tommy ---- you are in my prayers and have my love.

To Dr. Wild's Family:

I only knew Michael a short time, but in that short time I knew that I loved that he was my doctor. I was highly recommended to him from a friend when I was looking for an OB for my first pregnancy. I made the appointment and got to meet a doctor I will never forget. During my first few weeks of being pregnant, we had a bit of a scare and I needed to be seen right away, Dr. Wild was there to comfort me and put my mind at ease. He was always so kind and caring, his bedside manner was the best. We always had questions and he always had answers for us, he took extra time to sit with us and make sure we felt assured before we left our appointments. He always remembed his patients and always made you feel welcome when you came to see him.

I am deeply sadened by his untimely passing. He was such a great doctor, a great man and a true friend.

I wish comfort for your family and know that one day you will all be together again.

The world has lost a great person.

Timothy Wild

May 10, 2005

Michael touched so many lives it's impossible to comprehend. It is strange that in death you hear the impact you made upon other lives, but you don't hear about it too often when alive. Maybe a story here and there, but the cumulative stories don't stay with you; I guess that's what keeps a great person humble. Humility is probably one of the best attributes of a great person and physician. I will miss Michael every minute of everyday. I woke up this morning wanting to tell him something, only to have the crushing reality awaken my brain that I won't hear him speak any longer. I will miss his ability to confide in him, his understanding ways, his ability to say just the right thing. He was my twin brother, my soul mate and his death has changed my life profoundly. I pray that he is in peace, that I may see him again, I would settle for just one more time, just five more minutes!! Rest well my beautiful brother.

Therese Brunet

I send my deepest sympathy to all of Michael’s family and friends. I only recently met Dr. Wild when I became a patient at his skin care office this year. I am saddened beyond belief with his passing. After my first visit with him, I realized that he was one very special person. We shared many funny stories on life, exercising and raising our sons. Dr. Wild’s wife is my son’s dentist and is also one of the most patient and caring persons I have ever met. Both of their offices share the same warm friendly atmosphere that you do not always find in a medical office. My thoughts and prayers will be with your family for a very long time and I will never forget you Dr. Wild. My memories of you will always put a smile on my face.

Kate Paterson

May 9, 2005

Renee & Austin, I'll never forget when he walked into the room to examine me for the first time. The look on my face. I jokingly said to him I always wanted my OB GYN doc's to be old, gray and wear glasses. He had a great laugh over that. He had just started practicing here at Kaiser at Point West and was anxiously waiting for you to join him in California. I had a lot of complications and he would always call me back directly at home to let me know how all of my test results came out and what we were going to do next. I am very sad and sorry he was taken from you so early in his life. I know that time is the best healer. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was a patient of Dr. Wild's at his new Roseville office. I loved going in and seeing him because he was so nice and funny. He told me stories about his wife, son, and twin brother. I am a college student at Sac State so we always compared fun college stories. He definatly had some good ones. I was in shock of hearing about his passing. I am so sorry and can't believe it. I am a nanny and told him I would love to babysit for him and at my next apt. he told me he told his wife about me. my offer still stands. Again I am really sorry.

Elma Gillis

May 6, 2005

I was a patient of Dr. Wild’s during a year I was undergoing major female problems. I loved Dr. Wild’s sense of humor. I fondly look back to pre-op last February when he joked with me that he had the step-by-step instructions for a hysterectomy set up on a stand in the OR. I loved the shocked looks on the nurse's faces. Sadly, my last visit with him was Friday the 13th of February, when he removed my stitches. By the time of my post-op appointment, he was out with an eye infection and never returned to his Kaiser pratice. I miss having him as my doctor. He always made me feel that he cared for me as if I was one of his family. He loved his family and shared stories of them. I felt as if I knew them. My heart goes out to Renee and Austin as they finish their life's journey without him at their sides. I believe that he will always be watching over them. May God bless the entire Wild family during this time of sorrow.

I met Dr. Wild in L&D when he has first came to Kaiser from New York and was on call. I was 24 weeks pregnant with twins and having contractions. He put me on bed rest and said he was going to New York but would be back in a few days and then he would see me. I loved him, and knew that he had to be my doctor

2 days later, at 25 weeks, I delivered my boys Henry who lived 6 hours and Zachary who is now 3 years old. When he came back and found out he immediatly came to the hospital and sat with my husband and I while our 1lb 8 oz little boy under went heart surgery. He cried with us over our loss and was a rock for us. He would come in every couple of weeks to hold our son.

He helped us come to the decision to try again and it is because of his compassion, patience and support that we have our daughter Phoebe who he delivered after a long day in surgery so that he could be there for the birth and to reassure me.

He was an amazing man, father, husband and doctor and I am so priviliged to have had him be a part of our lives, we love you and we will never forget you Dr. Wild

Our prayers are with his family right now that god will give you the strength to get through the coming days

I knew Dr. Wild for only a short time - March through April of this year. When I heard of his death, I was greatly saddened. I thought of his wife... his son... and how hard it must be on them. Michael left an impact on me... his kindness and ability to communicate his caring nature. My prayers will be with you forever.

Our condolences prayers go out to Dr Wild's family. We hope you forge ahead and find comfort in the fact that Dr Wild had touched so many lives while with us.

He was a compassoniate doctor when my wife and I met him at Kaiser. He attended to the birth of our beloved daughter, always going out of his way to make sure my wife was at ease throughout her pregnancy. He realized our child was at risk and took several important precautions other doctors would not. He order tests to completed on mother and baby three times a week. Because of Dr Wild's loving care we now have a healthy 17 month old child. God Bless you Dr Wild, you and your family shall be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dr. Wild was my ob through 2 difficult pregnancies. The first ended at 20 weeks when we discovered there was no heartbeat. I am so grateful that Dr. Wild was my doctor during this time. He was kind and compassionate and helped both my husband and I through one of the roughest times of our lives. Dr. Wild was also there for my next pregnancy which was hard having had a previous loss. He never made me feel bad for being nervous, in fact he made sure he did everything he could for me. With his help, I was lucky enough to give birth to a beautiful baby boy in January 2004.

I was saddened to learn of his untimely death. I knew that he had a wonderful wife and son who he adored. He spoke of them fondly at my office visits. Please know that his whole family is in my families thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. He helped many and will never be forgotten by this very grateful patient.

Renee and Austin and to the entire family of Michael:

We have had the pleasure of knowing Michael through Austin and his guitar lessons. We appreciated and looked forward to sitting and talking to Michael about our businesses, families, and life. We know he will be sadly missed by all who he touched. Always know that Michael's human nature and compassion, sincerety, and sense of humor was noticed by so many people. He was part of our "Cheers" hangout - "where everybody knows your name."

Our thoughts are with you all,

I had the priviledge of working with Dr Wild when he first came to Sacramento and began at Kaiser, Point West. His willingness to help whenever and wherever will always stand out in my mind. He was kind, considerate, fun loving, and respectful. I will always remember him as a good example for others to follow. I also will never forget his love for black jelly beans. He will be missed, but never forgotten. My prayers are with the family, that God will grace them with His understanding and surround them with His love.

I work at Kaiser Permanente Women's Health.I am a medical assistant and I worked with Dr.Wild in the Roseville clinic. I want to say that I really enjoyed working with Dr.Wild. He was always nice to all of us. Very friendly and a pleasure to work with. I never saw him angry or having a bad day because he always had a smile on his face. He kept picures of his son and wife in his office and I remember commenting on them and he seemed so proud and happy of his family. I will always remeber Dr.Wilds smile. I think that smile caught everyones attention. He was such a happy person and full of life. His smile is one that would brighten your day if you were having a bad day. I will always remember Dr.Wild as a warm-hearted, kind and friendly person. A person with the biggest, nicest smile I have ever seen. I know that other people who knew him will agree with me. I'd like to say thank you to his family for making his life such a great one that it showed in his eyes each day he came to work. We will truly miss him. God Bless his family-Sincerely Connie Cazares

I was a patient of Dr. Wild's. When I heard what had happened I couldn't believe it. The first thing I thought of was his wife and son. During my pre-natal visits they would always come up in conversation. You could just tell how much he loved them both. He was an awesome Doctor with a great sense of humor and a smile that always put you at ease.

My heart aches for you now. Please know that you will be in my prayers. I hope that time will ease your pain as much as possible.

I knew Dr. Wild while working with him at Kaiser Permanente. He was always a cheerful and fun guy to work with. He was always joking around and I will always remember him for his great sense of humor. We have sons about the same age and he was always talking to me about him. I know he loved his son very much. I want to express my sympathy to his family during this difficult time. Dr. Wild will be greatly missed.

I met Dr Wild Last year doing some advertising for him. The day I met him we sat and not only talked about his business..... no we talked about his family, life, funny stories, and many other things. I never had such a great appointment talking to someone. He made me feel really good that day. When I left I had called my boss and told him I just had a great appointment with an really awesome doctor. I told him he was really down to earth and I had enjoyed speaking to him on many levels.

My prayers to the family.
