Burnham, Wilder Mac 23 years old of Minneapolis, left us unexpectedly on Friday, October 17, 2014. Preceded in death by grand- parents Burnham and Eunice Grider and his beloved dog Lily. Survived by parents T Lee and John Burnham, grandparents LaVonne and Harlan Gjerde, Auntie Dude and Uncle Wayno Burkhalter, Uncle Doug and wife Martie Gjerde, Uncle Dan Grider, cousins Harris, Lee, Danny and Robin and many many dear friends. Wilder gave us his art, poetry and music and made the world a better place. He touched the hearts of many - young and old. He brought pure joy and enthusiasm to all he did - from his passion for punk music and creating Zines to cooking pizza and urban exploring. Wilder put his whole heart into everything he did. The world is a less bright place without our sweet boy. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, October 21, 2014 at 7 pm with a gathering of family and friends starting at 5 pm at HOLCOM-HENRY-BOOM-PURCELL FUNERAL HOME, 536 N Snelling Ave St. Paul. In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to Animal Ark No Kill Shelter animalarkshelter.org Holcomb Henry Boom Purcell holcombhenryboom.com 651-646-2844
