Mirl William Wythe, 71,
passed away Sunday, January
19, 2020, after miraculously
overcoming stage four melanoma
late last year. His Parkinsonism
and fast-moving dementia,
coupled with bronchitis, sent his
health into a downward spiral
that he could not overcome.
Born September 8, 1948, in Parsons, Kansas, he was the son of
the late Joseph Henry Wythe and Shirley Jane Ruble. He attended
St. Gregory’s Catholic High School in Shawnee, Oklahoma,
and University of Hawaii and University of Maryland, receiving
his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. He received his Master’s
Degree in Transpersonal Communication from The Institute
for Transpersonal Psychology. He had varied employment as a
counselor, gemologist, salesman, and college admissions counselor.
His passions were writing novels, screenplays, and songs. He
authored four books. He loved playing guitar and self-taught piano.
He loved exploring the outdoors and enjoyed hiking, biking, and
motorcycling in beautiful Colorado. He also lived in many unique
places, including Hawaii, Italy, and Mexico.
Mirl is survived by his wife, Diana Wythe, and daughter, Lauryn
Gangle-Wythe. He is also survived by brother, Joe (Wayne) Wythe,
and sisters, CreeAnn Henderson (Chuck), Shirlee Locker, and Sue
Locker (Gus). He was preceded in death by his parents, and beloved
younger brother, Richard.
A formal celebration of life is being planned for the late spring/
early summer in Western Colorado.
