Obituary For JEFFREY WALKER WHEELER
Jeffrey Walker Wheeler, 60, of White Springs blazed his way into the world on May 30, 1963, and continued to blaze through life until July 27, 2023. He was born to Sandra (Clark) Wheeler and the late Robin Duff Wheeler (US Navy), in Turkish Naval Hospital in Golcuk, Turkey. Jeff was a volunteer firefighter for Shelburne, VT, and San Carlos (Fort Myers), FL for a combined total of 12 years; leaving Shelburne as a Lieutenant as well as serving on the board as Secretary for 2 years. While Jeff wasn’t a “member” of specific organizations, he gave back as much as he could by volunteering time to deliver meals to local fire departments and assisted in fund raising with local Veteran organizations that he was passionate about. Jeff always lived fast forward with a fire in his heart, and a desire to make your day in some way. Jeff was a loving, devoted and dedicated husband, father, and friend; always thinking of others and giving unconditionally. He is survived by his loving devoted wife, Paula (Vermeulin), Wheeler. Children; Brittany Wheeler, (Dinah Wheeler Cox, mother of Brittany), bonus children: Paul Piatek (Lexie), Jolynda Dibert (Tyler), Jared Piatek (Courtney), and Dylan Kennelly. Grandchildren; Danny (Bug) and Nova (Nova Bear), siblings Colby Wheeler (Monica) and nephew Colby Duff, extended family and numerous lifelong friends.
