Mr. Wheeler was a member of Memphis Baptist Church. He graduated from Dothan High School in 1968 and then attended Marion Military Institute. He owned and operated Wheeler Ornamental Metals where he started working with his Dad at an early age. He did beautiful work all over the country. He was a former Cub Master of the Boy Scouts of America, past member of the Dothan Rotary Club, former member of Mason Scottish Rite and served on the board of the National Ornamental and Miscellaneous Metals Association. He enjoyed Antique Cars, fishing at the Everglades and Alabama “Roll Tide.” He was a wonderful Husband, Dad and Opa. It’s not going to be easy saying goodbye to someone who is loved so much. He had the biggest heart and would do just about anything for anyone. His children and grandchildren were the light of his world and his pride and joy. He was always there for them even when he felt his worse. He also had love for a special little buddy named Chip.

 

He is preceded in death by his parents David and Audrey Wheeler, father-in-law and mother-in-law Roy and Mildred Speigner, and his grandparents Allen and Granny Hathaway.
