Michael was born March 20, 1957, the son of Myron and Audrey (Fowler) Wilcox, in Cedar Rapids. He worked for Service Master and then Done Done Services. Michael was the kindest, gentlest, and quiet man who was always willing to help and was “keeper of the keys.” An avid reader, he also enjoyed concerts, attending swap meets with his Dad and brother, Marty, working outside with nephew, Jeremie, “JPW” and the Hallmark Movie Channel. Michael was an animal lover, especially penguins, but most of all, he loved spending time with his family.
