Joey Wayne Wheeler, 29, passed away December 11, 2004 in Los Angeles, CA. He
had been working with his brother-in-law Randy Peterson remodeling hotels.
Joey was born April 28, 1975 to Ronald Lee and Karen Sue Rose Wheeler in San
Bernardino, CA.
Joey enjoyed the outdoors, hunting with his dad and brothers, water skiing,
golfing, and camping. He loved his family and his mother and father were
perfect in his eyes. He was 8 months away from earning his degree in Culinary
Arts at UVSC in Orem. Anyone who knew him knew "The man could cook." Joey
loved his family so much; his nieces and nephews meant the world to him. Joey
was many things: an amazing cook, soft hearted, and forgiving. Joey's brother
Jeffry preceded him in death August 13, 2004, and a part of Joey died with
him.
Joey is survived by his father Ronald Lee Wheeler; his mother Karen Sue
Fullmer of Cedar City; grandmother Genevieve Rose; brothers Jon Jay Wheeler
and Jeremy Lee Wheeler, and sister Jill Irene Peterson.
Joey's big heart, beautiful eyes, great hugs, amazing cooking will be missed
by us all. His love will live with us all forever.
Memorial services will be held Thursday, December 30, 2004 at 1:00 p.m. at the
