Michael Scott Wilcox

Michael (affectionately known as “Mike”, “Willy”, and “Whyte Mike”) was Born on March 2nd, 1971, in Sacramento, CA at Mather AFB and was the only Son of Frederick and Susan (Cline) Wilcox of Montgomery Co MD. Michael was preceded in death by his loving mother but always kept her close to his heart.

Michael was a 1989 Graduate of Gaithersburg High School. After high school, Michael started working at Giant Food as a cashier and worked his way up to management as Front End Manager. Michael had a love for the road and ventured into driving tractor trailers as a cross country truck driver for Schneider Trucking. In the early 2000’s, Michael began his career as a Communication Technician at Verizon. He loved his job and working with his friends.

Michael loved and lived life to the fullest. He was Co-Founder of the renowned DMV Internet Podcast and Social Group, “In the House with Howie” where he enjoyed working alongside his close friend Howie as the infamous “Whyte Mike”. Here he established many close friendships and built professional relationships with notable entertainment personalities, locally and nationally. He hosted various functions such as epic pool parties, Miami Takeovers, Mile High Friday’s and too many more to name.

Michael bought his home in 2004 which he shared with his childhood friend Brodie. You could always catch them tinkering with old Cadillacs or doing some type of home improvement project to keep the house in good shape.

Michael loved dogs and the family always had one when he was growing up. After he left home, he had his first love Rakeshi (Shar-Pei). For the last 12 years, he shared a piece of his heart with his last dog, Sir Jules Laurent Boneparte aka Bone (Pitbull), who passed only 14 hours before Michael so he could be in Heaven when Michael arrived.
