Michael Gary Wilde married Lisa Ann (Yocum) Wilde April 6, 1991 of Concord, CA before residing in San Diego, CA. He was extremely proud of his son, Blake Chandler Wilde. Blake married Savannah Dean (Shively) Wilde which evolved his greatest joy – the birth of his first grandson, Leland Rockwell Wilde. Michael was also excited about the news of his second grandchild arriving in April 2021.

He enjoyed model railroading, watching baseball, especially the San Diego Padres, irritating his wife with numerous shows of The Big Bang Theory & reruns of all Star Trek Shows, while trying to ignore his wife’s Zumba music generally playing in the background. He will be loving remembered by his in-laws, to create fabulous fires in the fireplace, his bbq skills & rearranging their basement for his large model railroad, so they couldn’t find a thing.
