Merrill K. Wood of Viera, FL died of heart-related problems in his home, surrounded by family, on Nov. 26, 2018. He was an electrical engineer graduate of the University of North Dakota. However, his main career was as an airplane and helicopter search and rescue pilot with the United States Coast Guard.
He is survived by his wife, Mona Wood, a woman he routinely admired and felt proud of, and three children and their spouses (Jeff Wood and Denise, Allison Baur and Paul, and Stacey Guthiel and Dale), ten grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. They are grateful for his life and will miss him even as they commend him to God’s care.
