A. Wayne Meikle M.D.

So sorry to hear about Wayne. May you and your family have peace and comfort at this time and always. Sending love to you.

So sorry Sharon for the loss of your dear husband. He was an amazing man who achieved many great thingsd during his lifetime! It is my pleasure to know you both on our cousin Woodruff trips! Also I’m happy you received the fresh Arizona oranges!
May you and your family be comforted .

Dr. Meikle was such a thoughtful, kind, and dedicated medical director at ARUP. I miss working with him.

Dear Meikle Family,
Such an honor to know Wayne, to learn of his service throughout his life.
Sharon and family we send our love to you all as you meet to share stories of Wayne, to remember his kindness and goodness.
May the memories bring you peace and comfort and laughter as well.
Sending love,
Friends with Suncrest Hospice

I had the great pleasure of interacting with Dr. Meikle at ARUP. He was, first, brilliant, and second, gentle, kind, and thoughtful. His presence at ARUP has been missed. May his memory be a blessing and his devotion to the gospel of Jesus Christ bring peace and joy.

Dr Meikle was my first boss when I joined ARUP. Extremely knowledgeable and patient, he supported my work and gave me excellent reviews every year. After I had presented on the history of Indian music one time at work (we used to have varied presentations at ARUP those days) he invited me to his home to present before a group of women who were Sharon's friends! He drove me to his house and set up an AV system and really took interest in what I was showcasing! He and Sharon have come to our house for dinner and invited my husband and me to the ward dinners in return. I met him last on his retirement party at the U. Always polite and smiling and knowledge of endocrinology literally on the tips of his fingers, I will always remember him with fondness. I send my sincerest condolences to the family.

We're deeply saddened to hear about the passing of our lifellong neighbor and friend. We lived next door and have fond memories of games in the backyard, birthdays, and riding in Wayne's Scout.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.
May cherished memories bring you comfort, and may you find strength in the love and support of those around you. Love, The Cochrane's

It was a honor to know you and Wayne 😇. Thank you for all your baked goods and treats. Hopefully Wayne and John Denver are singing some good tunes together.. xoxo Hugs forever and always.

So sorry for your loss. It’s been such an honor to have rubbed shoulders with your family in the Wasatch Hills ward. I pray you find comfort and healing during this difficult time.

COL Meikle was a great commander under whom I served as his Executive Officer in the 328th General Hospital and his Chief of Staff at the 426 Medical Brigade. I considered him a friend. His calling me about a vacancy at the 426th Medical Group led to my promotion to full Colonel of the 426th Medical Group. Without his calling me I would not have known about the vacancy at the 426th Medical Group. He looked out for his soldiers!

Condolences to your family who has lost a great humanitarian due to his work as a doctor and those serving the medical needs of this nation's soldiers.

He will be greatly missed. We remember with great fondness the times we went with both of you and others from the High Priest Quorum of the 11th ward to do Temple sealings with a meal afterwards. We were always grateful for the apples both of you brought to us many times. I also remember the many times in the new ward where we would both go to administer the sacrament to Dr. Nielson as well as obtaining volunteers for prayers in the smaller Sunday School class. We were also thankful for the latest news about Don Richard's widow after his tragic death. Don and I as lifetime friends were planning to attend an event, each of us with a date. My date caught his attention that night and he asked me if I would mind if he asked her out. And since it was just my first date with her, I said I didn't mind and the rest is history! Unfortunately, because of health problems we will have to watch the funeral on Zoom.

I have a great amount respect for Dr. Meikle. I had the privilege of learning about the discipline of endocrinology in laboratory medicine from him. He was always very generous with his time and willing to provide one on one lectures in his office. He made significant contributions to the lives of many students and patients as well as to the field of endocrinology and laboratory medicine.

My wife and I always enjoyed speaking with him and his sweet wife, Sharon, about Cache Valley and we will be forever grateful for their kindness.

Many thanks Dr. Meikle!

It was my pleasure to work with Wayne for many years at ARUP. He contributed much to the cause of outstanding patient care and academic medicine. Wayne had a great disposition, and he was always willing to take time to explain a complication method or procedure that led to a better understanding. Wayne has been missed since his retirement from ARUP/Department of Pathology. All of us at ARUP and the Department of Pathology give our deepest respect to Wayne's family.

Dear Sharon,

I knew Wayne had Parkinson's which took two of my brothers, but it was still a shock to see someone I knew in the list of obituaries. I have wanted to write to you about Dix who died on January 24 this year at Grove Creek in Linden where we had lived for about a year. We had a little memorial for him with our branch there where Dix served as the conductor of the music in Sacrament Meeting from his chair with a baton never missing a beat while I served in the Relief Society presidency. I couldn't go back to Dee's because he is gone so much, but I felt prompted to call my sister-in-law in Idaho Falls who wrote books for family too, and we have always been close. She welcomed me and I am now working on my own story. We have always loved you and Wayne and I will write more. My sympathy, Mary Jean Waddell

My dear and precious friend, Sharon,
My Sabbath day devotions were enhanced as I payed respects to your cherished husband, Wayne. Your lovely family honored him with adoration and tender love.
I considered him as well as yourself very dear friends of my heart, so many wonderful memories through the years from the !1th ward. He took time to write a note to our children when they would give a talk.
I so enjoyed seeing your boys, the Nielsen and Cochran boys grow up together and now into the most amazing men with brilliant and talented children.
Dear Sharon, you are an angel gracing so many lives and mine included.
May our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ gather you tenderly in their loving arms and give you peace.
With warmth and love
Sister Darlene Pedersen
