Christopher Michael Wilkinson Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on August 7, 2025, at the age of 48, Christopher Michael Wilkinson in Charleston, South Carolina, born in San Diego, California passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

Though his name may fade from the lips of time, the imprint Christopher leaves upon the hearts of his loved ones remains eternally vivid — a testament to the depth of his spirit and the richness of his legacy.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Della (Micahael Wilkinson) and Navy; his fiancée Tara; and his fiancée's child Deven.

However with the changes that came with the experience of the pandemic The Motley Gecko just stayed local instead, and offered his knowledge up in local groups on social media to those who were just beginning their herp journey, and helped those with research and help with quandaries.
