Michael Wheeler Obituary

I am deeply saddened to recently hear about the death of Mike. Such a great and kind man it was a pleasure to have known him. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Please know that I am praying for his beloved family during this terribly sad time.

Celebrating the life of a very special man. From the first time we met Mike he welcomed us into his family. We always enjoyed his company & southern hospitality. Glad we had a chance to experience Disney with him. We have many great memories of our trip which we all know was a special vacation spot for him. The Epcot fireworks have a whole new meaning after watching them with him! Christy, Michael, Michelle, Dave, Parker, Tanner, Granny & Skipper we are looking forward to visiting soon to share all the wonderful memories of Mike´s life.

Love Rob & Jody

Although I had not seen Mike in many years, I was very saddened to learn of his passing. We became friends during our high school years at North Charleston, and had many good times together. My deepest sympathies to his family.

I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Mike was never without a smile or a kind word. He always asked how you were doing, and loved to make you laugh. He entertained us at our Staff meetings with his humor and antics. Just the kindest person you could ever have the privilege of knowing. I will be praying for you all during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Robin Klingenberg

While I did not work directly with Mike, I did interact with him from time to time at the Hollings Cancer Center. He was the nicest guy in the world. Always positive, always welcoming to others, always willing to lend a hand, always ready to laugh. A truly selfless, great human being. He will be missed. My sincere condolences.

I worked with Mike for many years at MUSC and Hollings Cancer Center. I will always remember his genuine kindness, compassion and dedication to research.

It's surreal that I am writing this message. As I am doing so- teary eyed and extremely saddened, I know Mike would want me to be strong right now. Michael Patrick Wheeler, as I always called him, has been my friend since the 1st day I met him.

Mike, thank you for coming to see me in the office a few weeks ago. We hugged so tight and I am so grateful for that forever memory. You were my friend and the coolest person I have ever met! You ended every conversation we ever had with, "Love ya". I just want you to know that I "Love ya" right back. Ride high, my buddy

Broken Hearted,

While I am deeply saddened to learn of Mike's passing, I am not surprised to read of his enormous accomplishments, awards and contributions to our community. Mike was a positive, fantastic, and encouraging person. I worked with Mike at MUSC and he always saw the glass as half full, often making our jobs better. He was the happiest talking about his family. He would always "beam with light" when telling the stories about them. Wade and I send our deepest sympathies to Mike's entire family. He left us way to soon but not without making a lasting impression.

So very sorry for your loss! Had known Michael since elementary school. Hope fond memories help with your grief.

We are deeply hurt by hearing Mark has passed. Our prayers are with you always. I was always touched by Mike coming to RT 8th floor internal medicine to see you Chris during lunch, the walks you would have together, and seeing you both at secondary Sunday in Charleston. God keep you and your family strong through these difficult times. M&M

I grew up with Mr. Mike´s daughter, Parker. We had many sleepovers and dinners at Wild Wing through out middle and high school. My heart goes out to his family, especially his grandson Tanner. Hugs XOXO

Thank You for your friendship and what you did for the Goose Creek band.

I am so shocked and saddened by Mike's sudden passing. I've known Mike since my late teens and he was a really great guy and family man. My heart goes out to Christy and family. Such a tragic loss. My thoughts are with you all.

So sorry for your loss ,he was a great person that we knew at the shipyard and we are saddened this happened in the prime of his life

I had the pleasure of knowing Mike & his beautiful family the last 2 years when I worked as a caregiver for Mr. & Mrs. Jacques; both the Jacques & Wheelers immediately accepted me into their family & I learned we were connected in more ways than one: Mike & my father worked together at the shipyard so many years ago & he remembered me & my sister, Kim attending the employee family picnics with our parents Bc we stood out with our red hair...& Mike always said he was a good friend of my dad´s & would ask about him & all of my family, during the weekly visits he & Christy made to visit Pat. Even on brief visits he´d have a hug for me & always managed to inspire me somehow, be it to live healthy, or continue my education, or to look at the stars & Nasa space missions, the wildlife outside & yes, Disney! Most of all, his love for his family was immeasurable & I felt so honored to be a part of their lives, to witness love in its truest form, unconditionally. Chris, Pat, Ms. Shirley & Skipper, Michael & Michelle, Parker & Dave, sweet sweet Tanner, my heart breaks for y´all & I am so very sorry.

My condolence to the family.
We were good friends in high school at N Chas. HS. We worked together at CNSYD. I was a nuc elect. There are a lot of good memories. My favorite one is the time he got a camaro and punched the gas burning the rubber off the tires. We had plenty of escapades in our late teen years. I am sorry for the lost of such a good person. We could use a lot of people like Mike.
