My deepest symphathy to you and your beautiful family at this difficult time.  I remember Dwain as a loving, caring, friendly, honest and devout man.  I shall cherish his memory.

Dear Margaret & Family: I called his office this mourning to wish Dwain a Happy birthday and was told of his passing, what a heartbreak, Dwain was one of my favorites, From our days in Mink Creek through High School, he's always was an inspiration to me, but specially since he's been ill. What an inspiration and a positive outlook. Our Prayers are with you and you family,God Bless. Dan & Jean Jepsen  Bountiful Utah

Dear Margaret and Family:  The expressions given in the obituary, and through your children and John at the funeral say everything we could say about Dwain and his remarkable personality -- except that I wanted to stand and say, "Yea, but he liked me best!"  And that is because he had the ability to make you feel so special.  We're sure everyone thought he liked them best.  There is no question that we liked him best.  I personally long for the day we can play another basketball or softball game.  His determination and hustle had no equal.  He played hard and fair, and after the game, he became the same Dwain, and would apologize and laugh at or with you for the hurt he had laid on you.  I loved playing 22nd (9th) Ward because he was so much fun to joke with.  Oh, if our younger years would only last a little longer.  We love Dwain and you.  We pray that all the blessings promised to you in this sad time will soon make your life full again.  Love, Kevan and Susan Smith

Dear Margaret and Family,
We extend our deepest sympathies to you at this time of passing for our dear friend Dwain. What a great man. There are few who have the nobility and character as he. There was never a time when we met that he didn't lift us. We wanted to do the lifting but he was always the one who would bouy our spirits and bless us with his optimism and heal us with his enthusiasm. He taught us by his example how to live life and to get the most from it. He led all of us in this marathon called life. Margaret, you have always kept the pace and been right at his side. God bless you.
Steve and Elaine

Dwain was an amazing man who obviously touched many lives and after reading many of the entries and taking a moment to reflect on my own life, he has inspired many lives for the better!  Thanks Dwain for always being the person to help others see and reach for their potential.

Dear Margaret & Family;
We were sorry to hear about Dwain's passing, and didn't know about it in time to attend the viewing  or funeral.  Bunny called to let us know.  Dwain was a favorite person of mine and a great family man.  He was one of the greatest supports to me as a Scoutmaster and as a friend.  Our prayers are with you and hope you are well and know how appreciated Dwain was to all who knew him.  Larry & Sharon

Dwain was always considerate of those around him.  When my mother suffered some health challenges many years ago, Dwain volunteered to pick me up and take me to soccer practices and games.  He would also cheer for me as well.  It meant a great deal to me and I still remember his smile and kindness.  

Our condolences to your family at Dwains passing.

Steve and Joni Potter Family (Columbus, MS)

Our condolences to your family.  Dwain touched our lives and made us all better for knowing him.   May your memories of him bring you comfort and strength.

Dwain was a great leader of the youth.  We will always remember him.  Our family loved how cheerful and helpful he was.  Please accept our sincere sympathy at your loss.

Dear Margaret, Jamie, Jen, Rich, Becky and Steve,
        The Ron Howell family sends our love to you all.   Dwain was a close friend to us.  We each have special memories of Dwain touching our lives in such a wonderful way.   We celebrate with you a life well lived and will look forward to seeing his wonderful smile again. 
      May you feel our Heavenly Father's comfort around you and the love of all your friends!!!
Ron, Phyllis Sue, Nathan, Patrice, Preston, Larry, Amber & Paul Howell

I came across an old cassette tape from my mission farewell in 1998 during which Dwain spoke.  The topic was very appropriate: Enduring to the End.  It was very much the Dwain I remember from my youth--had me laughing and crying all at once.  What a great man.  The Wildes were always good to me and my family.  He will be missed.

I never knew a person I admired  more than Dwain.  He represented all that was good in people.  He was the first one there when someone needed help, and the first one to volunteer to coach the kids team if a coach was needed.  He was a wonderful friend and his children should be proud to say he was their father.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Margaret and the children.  The world has truly lost a great man...

Dwain was a great example to us of courage, faith and trust in The Lord, dependability, positive attitude, concern and caring for others, and enduring the trials of life with dignity. We have always felt that a scoutmaster (which Dwain was) who works for and with the youth performs a service second to none in the kingdom of God. Margaret,our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family for your comfort and courage in this painful time of separation for a season.
    Rees and Virginia Jensen

Wow what a great man Dwain was and is.  We will miss his cheerful phone calls and visits.  Jen I can still remember the day that you got the phone call at work about Dwain's disease.  It has been miraculous to see the life that he lead after that!  What a man.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love,
Guy and Kim Goddard Family

We thought Dwain would live forever on positivity alone! To know him was to love him and my family will miss him terribly.We send our love and support to your whole family. 
Peace be with you Dwain...

For Dwain F. Wilde

New estimates say 300 sextillion stars,
Dwain will verify that starting at Mars.
Without him two of my boys would not Eagles be,
one was too busy, the other hiding up a tree. 
Dwain never gave up and so politely badgered me.
I got my eagles and Dwain set them free.
One so pleasant and caring should never remove.
This earth needs him back, his concern sorely lack.
I learned something deep and remember it still,
on the basketball court before his ill.
Not to exaggerate but his friendliness was a thrill.
And that not nearly all,
he actually dove on the floor to grab a loose ball,
while I stood watching, too old, too tall.
I raised up an eyebrow that was Dwain all about.
Not once through the years of knowing this man
was I not met with a smile and a hand.
As years went by he always checked on my sons.
His interest was real, one of the few, the real deal.
He would enjoy this pun, as he really was a “wild Wilde.”

Wild about others, 
Wild about his own,
Wild about our Lord
Wild to the bone.
Wild about life,
Wild about a smile,
Happy to know,
gone but a while.
He lived special zone,
now in some space,
with the Lord at his place.
Heavenly Father lent him that smile,
we forever and ever in memory embrace.
Thank you Dwain for your pure love taste.

Two of your many old friends,
Maurice (Moe) and Carolyn Hebert

Dwain was a great example to all of us.  His ever present smile was contagious; he was an optomist to the nth degree; never complaining about his debilitating disease--and now he is 100% whole again.  What a terrific example he was to young men!!  Thank you Dwain for the privilege of knowing you!!!

Dear Margaret & Family, I was so sad to hear about Dwain.  He was such a great leader to those of us who enjoyed his tutelage as young men in the old Holiday 22nd Ward.  His love for life was very contagious and he was a wonderful example to us all.  My thoughts and prayers are with you during this tough time.

I've been searching for the words to express how deeply grateful I am for Dwain in my life - and I keep coming up short. His unconditional love and contagious optimism & humor influenced my young life for such good, that I can't imagine growing up without him!  Who else would have tolerated my dorky antics with such grace & true charity?  He seemed to always see one's potential and push them toward it.  What a great, great man!  Thank you so much Dwain, I am blessed to have had a friend of the Savior as a friend of mine.

Dwain exuded friendliness, whenever you interacted with him, he gave you 110% of himself, undivided attention, he made you feel like you were the most important person in the world, you were the best, he made you feel proud to be who you were and inspired you to be better through his love and consideration. He took the time to focus on you and it wasn’t just talking when you were interacting with Dwain it was an “experience”!   I will always remember Dwain’s perseverance, a proud man who lived life without complaint given any challenge it threw at him.  The life of Dwain Wilde is placed in the memory of all of us living who were fortunate enough to “experience” him.

Dwain was a great friend to our family. Our parents were friends in Mink Creek, and the Olson girls remember Dwain as a very handsome and charismatic older boy, but who made us all feel like we were his best friends. Our thoughts and prayers go to his family at this sad time. The John Olson daughters - Mary, Karen, Nancy, Margaret, Janet and Emily

I will never forget the influence Dwain had on my life.  He is truly one of my heroes.  He has had a positive influence on me in every stage of my life from being my soccer coach, youth leader, and friend.  As a kid I used to think that Dwain thought I was truly a special kid because he made me feel that way.  I didn't learn until I got older that he treated everyone the same way and gave them the same feeling.  I think of the experiences I had with Dwain often and I will never forget him.  The conversations I've had with Dwain through the years have been some of the most uplifting experiences in my life.  I hope to one day emulate his positive attitude, humor, and service.  I am extremely lucky to have known him.

Dear Wilde Family,
I was fortunate to have Dwain as a Mentor in my first years as an Special Agent at Northwestern Mutual in 1984.  He was a great asset to the insurance industry, and to his many clients who all became his family of friends!  I am proud of all he stood for and left his imprint on....Thank you Dwain and Family for your sharing when someone goes all the way and more to live, laugh and love.

Dwain was always there for our family when there was a need. He helped turn our brother's heart to the Lord and helped him to make the choice to serve a mission. He was there the whole time
our father was going through cancer treatments supporting both our dad and mom with help, advice and love. When our dad passed away he was there helping our mom with all the financial concerns with loving assurance. Our family will be forever in debt to this wonderful servant of God.Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. The Don and Ordella Mathews Family

My family has had the pleasure of being neighbors to the Wilde family for the past 6 years.  We could not ask for better neighbors! Dwain would always see how we were doing and made a point to talk to our children. After talking to Dwain, you would always leave with a smile.  I will miss those chats at the end of the driveway.

Dwain was a great nephew & cousin and we are all sorry to hear of his passing.  We have many fond memories of him and wish Margaret and the family the best and know you will cherish all the memories as we will.  Naomi Wilde, Ross/Laurel Wilde, Van Wilde, Dean/Michelle Wilde.

Dwain Wilde was one of those rare people you meet in life that is able to connect to anybody.  I remember having problems with my self-confidence and friends in Jr. High School and my mom called uncle Dwain to give me advice and cheer me up.  I didn't see Dwain a lot in my life but those moments I was able to have left a lasting impression.

Dwaine will always hold a special place in my heart.  He was an amazing human being.  He would show up at my home right at the time I needed something.  He had an amazing way of caring for others.  Margaret and Wilde family, I am so sorry for your loss.  Dwaine has left you a great legacy to follow!  He was a great example to me!

Dwain will always be remembered. He may have struggled physically, but you would never know it. Knowing Dwain professionally only meant that he was a friend for life. I weep for myself knowing that I can't enjoy his frequent calls of encouragement or his warm personality. I weep for joy that heaven has another valiant angel.

Dwain had the incredible talent of focusing on others. We never had a conversation that didn't primarily highlight the things going on in my life. He was never self boastful and truly cared about who we were and what was important to us. He was always supportive of our goals and urged us towards them. Dwain was by far the best scout master I have ever known and I owe my Eagle scout award to his dedication as our leader. Lastly, Dwain had a sense of humor second to no one. I will miss him dearly and will forever be one of my heroes.

Our family will be forever grateful to have known Dwain. His enthusiasm, love, and spirituality was always so genuine and contagious. If not for him our sons would never have become Eagle Scouts! We will keep you all in our prayers.
The Hebert Family, Sugarhouse

Dwain was truly a great man and friend. I know Scott would have never been an Eagle Scout without Dwain.  The influence he had on young and old was amazing.  He also had a wonderful family.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

We loved seeing Dwain at church & being in his ward! He was a great person, funny & just a great person to be around!  We will miss him very much!!!
Our prayers are with his family!

Dwain was one of the most amazing, funny, and inspirational people I have ever known.  He has left a lasting impression on our hearts.  I know he's smiling down at us now and wishing we could share in his joyful homecoming.  Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

We are so sorry for  your loss.  We have many fond memories of Dwain and the Wilde family.  Our prayers are with you..  Love Dale and Jane Pascoe and family.

I feel so lucky to have known Dwain.  He has left a lasting imprint on my life, as he has so many other lives.  Peace and love to the Wilde family during this time.

I am so sorry for your loss. Dwain was such a wonderful and joyfull man. I grew up in the 9th ward and saw his impact on the lives of the youth of that ward. He had a way of making you feel very important and loved. The Davis family loved Dwain and were so grateful for his good influence.
