David Maurice Wheaton

David was the oldest son of Maurice and Mamie Wheaton born in St. John, New Brunswick Canada. He grew up in the Brandon area since moving to the area at the age of 9. He graduated from Brandon High School and attended St. Petersburg Junior College.

David worked a route in Dunedin and Clearwater area for Great Bay Distributing bringing happiness to his customers and was known as "Dave" to so many. For more than 20 years David was a professional Chauffeur for Allstar Limousine where he provided personal chauffeur services for General Norman Schwarzkopf and had a government security clearance that made him the perfect choice as the Chauffeur to drive foreign dignitaries like Margaret Thatcher and many celebrities like Captain Kirk.

David's talkative personality made him a friend to almost everyone he met. He was beloved by neighbors and was an unusually giving person. In the family David was known as Santa because of his "above and beyond" generosity and the amount of laughter he brought with him. David could wax poetic for any family Holiday, graduations and birthdays.

Some of David's interests were traveling to exotic places, Skiing in Switzerland, Windjammer cruises and Sailing on the Americas Cup Vessel in the Caribbean. He was also an avid antique and coin collector.

David is survived by his Brother Douglas of Riverview, Sister Heather of Plant City and Sister Linda of West Palm Beach. Also, 4 nieces Laura and Stephanie of Plant City and Emily and Ashley of Spring, Texas.
