David William Wilkinson Obituary
It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved David William Wilkinson of Chico, California, born in Oakland, California, who passed away at the age of 79, on July 4, 2024. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of David William Wilkinson to show support.
In the soft embrace of remembrance, we recall the profound impact David William had on those he encountered along his journey. Though David William may have slipped beyond the veil of mortality, his essence lingers like a faint fragrance in the air, a lingering reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his adoptive parents, William Wilkinson and Erna Wilkinson of Fresno, California.; his mother Ruth McGlauflin Banttari; his half-brother Richard Banttari; his wife Dianne Seeger; and his son Mathew.
Chico's John Bidwell donated land to enable what became CSU, Chico, while Fresno's M. Theodore Kearney left his entire home, grounds, and agricultural acreage to the University of California (UC).
