Obituary for WILSON


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Sunday November 23, 2014

WILSON, MICHAEL C. Michael C. Wilson passed away peacefully on November 14, 2014. He is survived by wife, Maria Picchi; children, Jonathan and Francesca; brother, John; and abundant extended family members. Michael was an internationally recognized scientist and an invaluable faculty member in the Department of Neurosciences at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center. A scrappy and critical intellect in the tradition of a boy from Brooklyn, he was an inimitable character who will be truly missed. His loss has generated an unfillable void for the family and friends who loved him. Michael had a passion for hiking, sailing, scuba diving, salsa dancing and attending Lobo soccer games. His enthusiasm was an inspiration to all who celebrated life with him. A memorial service will be held in December to honor Michael's life. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Ocean Conservancy at: www.oceanconservancy.org or to KUNM at kunm.org.
