I am heartbroken for you. Keep close to your heart his memories. One I never will forget is when the Wheelers went on a vacation with us on a houseboat. Chris and I were about 9 years old. Chris started fishing early in the morning, casting his line out and bringing it in... Over and over and over again, LOL he sure was insistant on getting the BIG one! After what seemed like all day we herd a screech come from the back of the boat and boy was he excited! He had caught his BIG one and when asked what he caught it with......... His reply...... A KOGALS HOTDOG! You will be missed Chirs, thanks for the wonderful memories friend

Christopher Wheeler was my uncle. There is so many memories that I will cherish forever. He was so loving and caring to our family and no words can describe how much everyone is going to miss him. His smile is what warmed everyones heart, besides his humor and himself all in all. I love you, smiley.

You loved one Chris brought sunshine and warmth into our office and into our lives with his awesome personality and contagious smile, That smile radiated with just a touch of 'mischief". like a youngster who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He talked frequently about all  his family members. He talked of his Dad his grandparents, his sister his nephews and his Mom. His love for his family was  always evident in our conversations. Chris was a special man that we all loved.  He brought sunshine to all of us that knew him. I know that I will always think of Chris when I see the sun and feel its warmth knowing that God needed all Chris's warmth and sunshine in heaven to flow over all of us left behind.

So many times I have asked myself why we lose someone close to us at such an early age. It doesn't seem fair but I console myself knowing that god has called Chris up for eternal rest and peace and God don't make mistakes. Rest in Peace Chris.

Chris will always hold a special place in all our hearts rest easy and every ray of sunshine will always remind us of you smile and u are shining upon us daily RIP Angel God bless and condolences wheeler family xoxo

To The Wheeler Family,
I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Chris, I know he put up a brave and courageous fight as well as all of you. I know there are not enough words that can express your sorrow or feel your hurt and pain. Chris was a great and noble young man that we all were proud of to know him and be related to him. It was an honor to know him and to call him a friend. Chris go rest high on that mountain your work here on earth is done. Chris is with the angles now and he will be watching over all of you. May God be with you in this time of need and may he give you strength that you need.

Chris, it's me again. One thing I have too that you do is a good sense of humor. Laughter truly is the best medicine. I have a battle of my own going on and they call us VHL WARRIORS. You are a warrior in my eyes buddy. Your family should be proud of you. I will see you sometime and meet you, but not yet. 

Sincerely yours,

Chris, I just read a little bit about you. You sound alot like me. You will be truly missed. You are lucky in a way. You're lucky because you are with God now. One day I will meet you and we could play baseball. I too have a nickname that was given to me. Unfortunately I will have to pass you up on the bowling because I'm not very good. You are very special. And will truly be missed. My condolences to the family. You had a special family member. Special in a way that I didn't know Chris, but he touched me.
