In Memory of CW5(R) Joe Wilkins

We are deeply saddened of the passing of one of our directors,

CW5 (R) Joe N. Wilkins.

As a member of the Board of Directors for thirteen years, Joe took great pride in the KYNG Memorial and was instrumental in making the memorial what it is today. We will miss his joyful enthusiasm, candid thoughts, and steadfast dedication.

Joe’s family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, you consider making a donation to the memorial fund to help ensure that his legacy lives on through this noble work.
