From Jen Meade:
Uncle Dee always smiled. I'll always remember his loving and kind ways. Coming up to Maine to see Dad (Larry) meant so much.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but so grateful for our faith in Jesus.
Until we meet again, Uncle Dee...
From Mandy-Marie Whiting Eldredge:
I have fond memories from my youth of Brother Wheeler. He was a gentle giant. When I think of him, I think steady, kind, thoughtful, and playful. Thank you for leaving a beautiful example and legacy.
From DARWIN & LILA KNOPP:
To all of Dee's family and friends. I'm so sorry for your loss. I still can't believe he is really gone. He was always so kind and helpful. It will be hard to not have him show up every once in a while just to make sure we were doing ok. I know you will always miss your special Dad. You are all in my prayers. All my love to you during this difficult time.
From Andrew Chris:
You were a grandfather I never had, you were there for me in some times where I needed stability. I love you and I'll miss you.

Thoughts and prayers to the entire family. He was a very kind and generous man.

From Misty Lynn Peterson :
I've known Bishop/President Wheeler for years since moving to Paul myself. He has been a big part of my life. He will be dearly dearly missed.
From Ron Hansen:
I am really going to miss him. He was a great man, a great Bishop, and helped many who needed help. He helped my son Jared finish up his Eagle project by installing street signs in the Meadowbrook Subdivision. To his family, I'm really sorry for your loss.
From Richard Williams:
Dee was one of the best friends I ever had. He will be greatly missed and will be remembered with much love.
From Dan Stapelman:
Many good memories in business, church, and at the fairgrounds. Dee was always helpful and knowledgeable. He will be missed.
From Nicole Toner:
So many fun times with Dee at the fair grounds! Sitting up in the grandstands while he was working in the arena and pretty soon I was soaked by the water truck and he would be sitting there laughing in the truck. I could ask him for things I needed and he got them immediately for me. He was always so kind. Thoughts and prayers to the entire family for peace and comfort through these times.
From Gene and Dianna Hansen:
Dee is a great man who was very good at everything that he did. He was a fixer and a builder and he could do what others couldn't do. He built horse drawn buggies, he flew model airplanes, he was a guide for the mountain trails and was a man who loved serving. He served in many callings in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, from Bishop to building cleaner, and always did it best. He has a great family who he loved and was so very proud of each one, and he had a love for his wife and will be preparing a place for them in the eternities. Our world would be so much better if there were more Dee Wheelers and less hateful people. We cherish the memories we have of him and Linda, and hope that they can always be together. May God bless their family during this test of faith in Jesus Christ.

Dee and Linda served their mission in our YSA branch in Ohio. My husband, Jerry, was the branch president. They made all the difference in the branch. They loved our kids! (That’s what we called them). What a wonderful man. His scones are legendary! We send our deepest condolences and love to Linda and the family.

So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He was an amazing man with many talents. We didn't always see eye to eye but we recently bumped into each other at a Dr. office and had a great conversation.

What a wonderful man. He took time to teach and mentor me. He trusted me to do things I didn’t yet know how to do and coached me through those things. He set me up to succeed in both welding and building and was instrumental in helping have confidence in myself to try new things. He was a kind and generous man who his loved his family. His memory will be treasured.
