Michael Don Meeks' Obituary
Michael Don Meeks, age 26, passed away on April 16, 2017. He was born on May 31, 1990 in Bountiful, Utah to Cynthia Wilkinson and Don Marlon Meeks.
Michael was truly a gift and blessing to the lives of those he was able to touch. He was a beloved uncle, son, brother, and TRUE FRIEND to many. Being blessed with a truly selfless heart he always looked for ways to help those he loved. Michael was always there for you, no matter what. Even if it was a tremendous inconvenience for himself, he would be there all the same. He was a hard worker that always went above and beyond what was expected of him, making improvements to life wherever he went. Michael had a creative mind that was always in motion. Being a fan of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and all things Geek you could always count on a quote or reference from him to brighten up any conversation. Even as a child he loved to tinker with things, rebuilding toys to his own liking. When he discovered Cosplay, he found great joy in life. Creating Cosplay outfits and going to Comic Conventions became a true home away from home for him. Those who knew him best can agree he never held back his thoughts or opinions. This was a superb display of his honesty in every single aspect of life. Michael was looked up to by many and a hero to most. He will be deeply missed and always remembered. His memory will always burn forever strong in the hearts of the lives he blessed.
