Ethan Wilkinson Obituary

Ethan Duane Wilkinson, 15, of Greeley, CO, went to Glory to be with his loving Saviour from a medical condition on July 12, 2022, surrounded by his family. Ethan was preceded in death by his grandparents James Stelmack and Linda Stelmack. He is survived by his parents, Matthew and Tiffany Wilkinson; brothers, Seth (Loveland) and Jacob (Greeley); grandparents Mike and Roxann McBurney (Greeley) and Janice Stelmack (San Antonio, TX) and numerous aunts and uncles and cousins. Ethan was deeply loved by so many people. He was a faithful and active member of Platteville Baptist Church where he was the song leader. Through faith and repentance, he trusted the Lord as his Savior in March of 2021. He was also a Staff Sgt. in the Rocky Mountain Young Marines. He was homeschooled and was a Manager for Dayspring Christian Academy football. He loved Chick-Fil-A and one day dreamed of owning his own franchise. Ethan was a jokester and loved to make people laugh, whether they were young or old. He was known by his closest friends for encouraging them to have faith in God. Ethan loved America and enjoyed politics, history, shooting, and building fires. He faced each day of his diagnosis with great courage and never once complained and he never wanted his family or friends to worry about him. Ethan will be greatly missed by so many, but we take great comfort in knowing he is with His Lord and Savior. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Platteville Baptist Church, PO Box 629, Platteville, CO 80651.
