William Douglas Wilcox

Left to see his Jesus July 17th, 2009 at the age of 39 years young! When you hear the adjectives like jovial, facetious, ornery, forgiving and down right funny you think of many things. But if you knew Doug you would simply think of him. He was the kind of guy that knew not a stranger nor a soul in need that he didn't do all he could to help. He had love for such a wild variety of things! His life was dedicated to service. He served as a volunteer EMT/Firefighter for 5 years until relocating and choosing to spend more time with his beloved wife and children. He served as Head of Sound Ministry at his home church Mountain View Christian Assembly in Sandy, Utah, where he handled audio, video, lighting and any need needing to be met for any ministry! He found a great love in doing so. Of his many interests he recently obtained a long desired motorbike in which he enjoyed the pleasure of riding for Royal Family Kids Camp Fundraiser. This was his first ride with his father whom he had just 5 months prior been reunited with after 30 years of separation. God has been so gracious to allow so many things from his "bucket list" to be met and enjoyed. He is often remembered as the bare-footed-gigantor-coffee-mug-toting-rib-breaking-bear-hugging-fun-loving-God-serving-man!  His lunch-box hands have been received into heaven to work beside his Jesus to prepare a place for his wife Alicia; son and daughter Joey and Lizzie Wilcox; mother and step-father Deborah and Jack Gattis; father and step-mother Doug and Laurel Wilcox; sister Leah Clark and nephews James, Vikter, and Refugio. As well as many other extended family, friends and loved ones.  A viewing will be held from 7 to 9 PM on July 23^rd at Mountain View Christian Assembly, 300 E 8000 S, Sandy, UT 84070.   A Ceremonial Service will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, July 24^th also at the church. Family has asked that there be no black worn and if you would like, to wear Hawaiian themed clothing.  Donations can be made for the family at Mountain America Credit Union. Just note it is "In Memory of Doug Wilcox".
