Last week we lost an amazing brother, son, father, and friend.  Marty Lee Wikle passed away due to Covid on August 28, 2021 surrounded by those that he loved in Rapid City, SD a place that he also loved.

     Marty Lee Wikle was born to Leon and Carolyn Wikle on August 13, 1960 in Sioux Falls, SD.  Much of his life was spent in San Diego, CA where he owned a construction company and enjoyed warmer weather.  He later returned to South Dakota to recover from a kidney transplant.

     He is survived by two daughters, Amy and Sara Wikle; parents, Carolyn and Leon Wikle; brother, Lee (Micki) Wikle; sisters, Wendy (Dave) Bauer and Robyn Stewart; and many nieces and nephews.

     His Celebration of Life will take place during the 2022 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

     Marty had an amazing transplant team at UCSD that gave him another year with his family that we so cherished.
