As an impressionable youth at Barton School, I remember meeting Wade for the first time and thinking,"Wow, I want to be like that guy". Wade was just that kind of person. Although we didn't run in the same circles, I never forgot that first meeting or the impression he made on my young life. To all of his family, I am truly saddened by your loss. Wade, I'll always remember you...

To the Wheeler Family,
Wade was my classmate, 1975, and I was looking forward to seeing and visiting with him at our 50th reunion this year. My heart is very heavy as we have lost another classmate. My prayers are that you will remember the great times you had with Wade. Remain prayerful and keep the faith. He is gone but will never be forgotten. RIP Wade Wheeler, gone too soon!
