Curtis Wilkinson Obituary

Curt Wilkinson, 59 years young, a long-time resident of Colorado Springs, and pun aficionado extraordinaire, passed away January 10, 2015. In 1998 he was retired from the Air Force. Because of his love of our country and the Air Force, he continued working with Air Force Space Command as a systems engineer.

Curt was a sports enthusiast and enjoyed skiing, playing golf, cycling, rappelling, scuba diving, and was a Falcons, Broncos, and 49ers (home town) fan. In October 2015, Pikes Peak Hospice fulfilled an item on his bucket list, sending him and his family to a Broncos game. An experience he thoroughly enjoyed.

Curt is survived by the love of his life, Elizabeth, his daughters Danielle Sharp (Jacob), and Kiya Wilkinson; his father, Donald Wilkinson and his wife, Joanne Wilkinson; his brother, Kevin Wilkinson; brother-in-law, Bill Atwell; and his granddaughters, Alexis and Aleah. His mother, Eleanor Ann Wilkinson, preceded him in death.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at 11:00am, Saturday, January 24, 2015 at High Plains Church, located at 1825 Dominion Way, Colorado Springs, CO 80918, with a reception following in the fellowship hall. The church's phone number is (719) 260-1080.

Memorials in Curt's name may be made to Care and Share of Colorado Springs, Wounded Warriors, Pikes Peak Hospice or any charity that is meaningful to the donor.

Curt's family would like to thank Mindy and Sally, his home hospice providers, and the inpatient nurses and staff at Pikes Peak Hospice for their loving care. Additionally, Curt and family have been awed by the love and support from BrightStar caregivers, High Plains community, and friends too numerous to mention.
