Michael Laroy Wilkinson Sr.

April 9, 1948 — May 17, 2022

Michael LaRoy Wilkinson Sr., 74, of Maryville, Tennessee went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, May 17, 2022, after an extended illness while surrounded by his family. Mike was an Army veteran of 20 years, retired employee of Lakeshore metal health Hospital, and a proud member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witness of Maryville.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Buford and Marie Wilkinson; his sisters with their husbands, Ilda (Don) Wolfenbarger, Emmalee (Charlie) Frazier, Iva (Steven) Dellinger; and his brother-in-law, Stephen Winfrey.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory, his wife of 51 years, Patsy Wilkinson; his children, Gary Hembree, Theresa (Crystal Eldridge) Wilkinson, Michael (Brenda) Wilkinson Jr., and Melissa Wilkinson Moore; 10 grandchildren; 1 great grandchild; his sister, Sue Winfrey; along with a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Blount Memorial Hospice, and Blount Discount Pharmacy for all the care and help during this time.

Services will be planned at a later date as Mike donated his body to the Forensic Department of Anthropology at the University of Tennessee for science.

You are invited to share a personal memory of Michael or your condolences with his family at his online memorial located at www.companionfunerals.com. Companion Funeral Home of Athens and the Cody family are honored to assist the family with these arrangements.
