Melissa Marie Wilcox, daughter, sister, cousin, auntie, grand-daughter, and dear friend to all, passed away in Fremont, California in June, 2018 at the young age of 30. Melissa is survived by her Mother Lorraine, Father Patrick, Step Father Bryan, sister Jeanine and nephews Connor and Colin, cousin Michael and Grandfather Gil. Melissa enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, close friends and family. She was known for her love of glitter, stars, rainbows, painting, making bracelets, Blue Mountains, The Oakland Raiders, The Golden State Warriors, The Oakland Athletics, The City of Lodi, The Delta, camping, TV shows on True Investigations, music, and vibrant beautiful colors. She made the world brighter and more colorful for everyone who met her. She was an incredible young woman and her kind heart made her just as beautiful inside as she was outside. Her joyful laughter uplifted your spirit, her smile could light up a room, and her hugs were special. She was truly adored by all who knew her. Melissa’s loving and generous spirit lives on through the others she saved by being an organ donor.
We will all miss Melissa Marie Wilcox.
Celebration of life service will be held at 2:00PM, Saturday, July 28, 2018, Visitation with family from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, Niles Banquet Hall, 37270 Niles Blvd., Fremont.

Melissa i loved since the first day I met you. I dont really click right away with two many people but you were one of the few i clicked with right away. That was one of the funnest parties I've been too even tho we were both sick as dogs lol. Drinking the whole way through it. Sniffling, coughing, drinking beers, drinking beers coughing sniffling. And then that fateful moment in the bathroom we are both waiting for bathroom to be open and waiting and waiting. finally bathroom opens and we both dart in quick as we could. For what? For toilet paper to blow our noses. lol we bumped into each other grabbing tissue. you turned back said here here me too me too. We both started laughing so hard. It was on from that point on. I can't believe your gone. I miss you everyday and I'm sorry no one was there to help you. your smile would light up a room and immediately create a good mood no matter where you were or what was going on. your were the sweetest person and had the biggest heart. I loved your love of rainbows and converses. Theres no one that could ever equal your light. you were one of a kind and I'm missing you so so much. -shannon

I first met Melissa when she was 12 years old. Her Grammy lived next door to my father in law... Melissa, her sister Jeanine and their best friend Nichole became little sisters to my husband and myself. We watched them get into trouble for staying out too late and for making noise throughout the mobile park... and will never forget Boardstock!! We sure had some awesome times!! They were fun loving respectful kids that I grew to love very much and That grew into amazing adults!! Melissa will be missed tremendously..... I will always hold our memories close :hearts:

Sweet Melissa I find it hard to wrap my mind around the fact that youâre not with us anymore you were taken way too soon you still had so much life to live! I have so many fond memories of you and your sister growing up! The one that comes to mind is the two of you pulling the wagon up and down the street selling Kool-Aid trying to raise gas money to go to the Delta for the weekend LOL. I think I paid five dollars for a cup of Kool-Aid LOL . I love you with my whole heart Lissa!! And my deepest sympathies goes out to lori Brian Pat Janine Cheir Gill Michael to your BFf Nicole!! & to to sweet little men (Coner& Colin) RIP Sweet Melissa

To Melissa's family and friends,
Melissa was our "Go To" when you need certain things done at Kaiser Permanente. I just talked to her the Tuesday before she passed away. I let her know that the work requested had finally been completed! She was as happy as I was.
Melissa was a people pleaser who took pride in her work. I'm sure she had not-so-good days (like everyone else does), but I couldn't tell. She was always professional, accommodating, on top of the task, friendly, sometimes sarcastic (funny), vibrant and had a million-watt smile!
I just know that I appreciated her. Even though we had occasionally encounters, I couldn't stop crying when I heard she died. :'( My heart ached in disbelief! Knowing it was true, I immediately prayed for the family.
Melissa's passing made me think, once again, that life really is too short! It made me realize that I need to get everything in order for my family...because I never know. Also, I need to be kind to everyone, on purpose, because I don't know what they're going through...and I don't want regrets if it's the last time I see them.
I'm praying that God will heal your broken hearts as you go through the grieving process.

Melissa, I remember meeting you with Tony, and how he was kind of prepping everyone to not be complete jack asses when you and Jeanine got there. I remember being excited, because before you got there, I was the only girl lol I remember you were so kind and friendly as soon as we met. I remember it was like that any time I saw you anywhere. I remember we were all at one of boswell's show, cuz of course you were somewhere supporting one of your friends, and anytime justin bought shots you had him buy me one too lol and water. Oh all the water that night. Lol I dont remember much from that night, but you and byron and that I remember. I remember you guys conference calling me over a post I made, and it was one of the funniest random conversations. Thank you for your concern lol thank you for always inviting us, even tho I'm so awkward I never come lol you even offered to pay my phone bill after I had Vay and my phone got turned off but I was all over fb lol who does that ?? Melissa. I remember you being really nice to my mommy at davinas baby shower & she said she remembers you inviting her to sit with you your sissy and David cuz I left her alone when I went to the store for awhile lol. Thank you. I'm sorry melissa that these are our only two pictures. I'm sorry I didnt go to your 30th birthday party. I'm sorry I didnt do more to show you how much i appreciated your prescence in my life, no matter how scarce
How much i appreciated you and your sister always showing up. Loving Vay and caring about her & I. You were truly one of a kind. Such a beautiful soul. I'll think of you always, and remember to love life like you did. I love you friend my heart is still breaking as I write. Until we meet again.

From the moment I met Melissa I knew she was someone genuine, with a beautiful and joyful heart. Her smile and laughter were pure sunshine. I was always in awe of her loyalty and love for her friends and family. I believe it defined her and it certainly defined who I believed she was. Simply a wonderful human and I am thankful I had the privilege of knowing her.
