Donald Lee Wilkerson was born August 4, 1948 in Oklahoma City, OK to Edward Lee and Frances Faye Wilkerson. He died March 6, 2018 in Oklahoma City. Donald might best be summed up with the words family, fishing and living life fully. He absolutely treasured his family, especially his grandkids. Just simply being around them brought him a tremendous amount of joy. There is no where he would rather be than outdoors. Whether it was on the banks casting his rod and reel, in the woods chasing a whitetail or simply spending countless hours at the lake, he was born to be in the open air. Donald was also a fantastic storyteller. He was full of old stories and quick to tell you all he knew. He spent time with those who were full of life and joy and quite frankly brought a lot of happiness and smiles to those around him. Donald had spent time serving our country through his service in the United States Army. He also spent years as a machinist at York manufacturing prior to his retirement. He is preceded in death by his parents. Donald is survived by his sister, Sherry Bermia; and brothers, John, Mark, and Timothy Wilkerson. He will also be missed by his sons, Travis Wilkerson and wife Carol, Sean Wilkerson and wife Tammy, and Chad Wilkerson and wife Alyssa; as well as his grandchildren, Nick, Lucas, Zoe, Faith, Wyatt, and Waylon. A graveside service with military honors will be at 2:00pm on Saturday, March 10th at Rose Hill Burial Park in Oklahoma City under the direction of Signature Funeral Care.
