Hunny B,

From the day you asked me to marry you, you promised me that you would always take care of me. You never let me down. You are my soul mate, my best friend, the most amazing father to our children and an amazing son to your mother. The generosity shows your compassion for people and what a kind heart you have. The years we shared together have been the best years of my life. The late night dart games, the laughing, the crying, the encouragement to always improve myself. You truly complete me. I am a better person because of you. I will hold you in my heart for eternity!

Wherever you go, whatever you do, always remember I LOVE YOU!

Love always and forever, your Hunny Bunny

Rest in peace, William Keith Wilcox. The greatest stepdad I could ask for. The closest adult to my heart. We had some rough times and we had some great times as well. You were always there to talk to when I needed help or struggled with any problem you would tell me something you went through in your life. I could always rely on you and I have so much respect for you and I trust you with my life. I was lucky to have two of the best parents I could ask for, but I was blessed with four of the most amazing people anyone could imagine. I am honored to call you my stepfather. I am so glad that the life lessons you learned from your father and the stories about you two could be told to me. I feel that I have learned from your mistakes and I will always remember your crazy and funny stories you would tell me while I ate lunch. Everything I look at reminds me of you. No matter where I am or what it is I am looking at. You are a great person and no one can change my thoughts about the most wonderful step father in the world. I am beyond lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life. I can’t stop looking at your empty chair where laughter was shared and tears were shed. You are forever in the hearts of myself, my family, and my friends. Thank you for all you have done for my amazing mother and sister.

My dad was a great person with the kind of humor that would brighten somebody else’s day even if he couldn’t brighten his own. He was an amazing man who always put others before himself and loved to make and see other people happy. He was taught me many lessons that I will remember throughout my life and pass down as well. He did everything he could to make my family and I happy and was the best father, husband, or son that we could ask for. Although he is no longer here, he will always be loved and will always be with us.

Dad is the strongest man I have ever met. Dad showed me many things and taught me a lot about life. Every minute with him was full of laughter and wisdom. You will always be in my heart. I love you daddy! Xoxo

Father, I was asked to write some words, I am not sure how to translate thirty six years of memories in a few words. Most that come to mind are when I was little and although you were not there much, since you worked so many jobs to make sure we had what we needed, the memories when I was little stand out the most. I’m not sure what times to talk about, should I talk about my fond memories of all the car shows we went to, all the races, all the late nights playing slot cars, or hot wheels and building models? Should I talk about some of the deeper and more personal memories like when we went to the movies to see Star Wars and Chewbacca came on and I said aloud that, “that’s my Daddy.” Or when I would sit on your lap when I was 5 in front of the big speakers and listen to Rush, Pink Floyd and Genesis? Or when I sat up on your shoulders so tall and proud as we met Evil Knieval and got his autograph? There are so many more but not sure what all to say or write. Either way through good times and bad I have great memories of our time together and cherish all of them. You will always be apart of me and I will always honor and respect you for everything you did for me and our families. Thank you Dad (William Keith Wilcox)

Love, William Todd Wilcox

I will always cherish and appreciate the good times we had together. I will never forget all of the funny jokes that only we understood, and the rides on the Harley to the Great Salt Lake to buy salt water taffy. I will never forget you painting my fingernails and you allowing me to put hot pink curlers in your beard. You taught me how to tell time, and when the time came, you taught me how to drive. And finally, no matter how much trouble I was in or how hurt I was feeling, you always made me feel so special. I know there were a lot of hard times too, but I know no matter what our love never wavered. I will always miss you and wish I was given the chance to say goodbye. I love you and I will always be your Autumnobile.
