Jeffrey David Wile, age 26, died unexpectedly but peacefully in his sleep, on Friday, August 21, 2009. Jeffrey was born in Albuquerque on February 2, 1983, to Sharon Marie Shaw and Michael Wayne Wile. Jeffrey fell asleep the night he died experiencing the joy and deep satisfaction of knowing that in just a few short months he would be entering medical school. Jeffrey, even during long periods of great personal challenge, never waivered in his pursuit of his life-long goal to become a trauma surgeon. While just a high school sophomore, Jeffrey was given an opportunity to observe Albuquerque University Hospital's world-class trauma surgeons and their teams in surgery, and they generously invited him to provide assistance where possible. From that time on, even under the most improbable circumstances, Jeffrey maintained absolute faith in his ability one day to join the ranks of those who are called upon to save lives in the most difficult of circumstances. Jeffrey is survived, and will forever be missed by, his loving family, including his parents, brother Casey Michael Stone and his wife Jennifer and their three children, sister Kelly Anne Gunn and her husband Jimmy and their four children, sister Katie Lynn Medina and her husband Adrian, grandparents J. Robert Shaw and Dolly M. Shaw, and H. Wayne Wile and Carol R. Wile, by aunts and uncles Lynn and Michael Shaw, LeeAnn and Rolf Riesen, Susan and Robert Conklin, Danette and John Wile, Nancy and David Baucom, and Stacy Wile and Mark Davis, and by numerous cousins and extended family members. Funeral services will be held Thursday, August 27, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. at the Cathedral of St. John, 318 Silver Ave SW, Albuquerque, NM 87102, with the Rev. Canon Terence Lee officiating. The family will be receiving guests to celebrate Jeffrey's life immediately following, at the home of Sharon Shaw. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made in honor of Jeffrey to Doctors Without Borders. Donations may be made at www.doctorswithoutborders.com.
