This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Beau Wheeler, 47, born on January 9, 1964 and passed away on June 27, 2011. We will remember him forever.

An avid reader, he loved books and music.  His favorite authors were Kurt Vonnegut, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and James Lee Burke.  He valued true friends, and never spoke badly about them.

He was happy just to be alive on a beautiful spring or fall day and would go outside to throw the football with his son, Tristyn, regularly. 

He was thoughtful and appreciated it anytime someone did something for him.  We have lost a beautiful soul.

Happy Birthday, my love! I wish so much that you were here, but I know we’ll be together again. Your little boy is married now and is such a wonderful young man! I couldn’t be more proud of him. We missed you at the wedding but he wore an article of yours, to represent you and said that he wished so much that you were there. I told him that you were. Love you always, Mama

Happy Birthday my Beau!!! Still cant believe you are gone on this, your 55th birthday. Thank you for leaving me such a beautiful and precious gift, your son, Tristyn. He still loves you and remembers you every day. You would be so proud! He just graduated from college and is starting on his Masters Degree while working at the university. He said the other day that he believes you watch over him still. You remain in our hearts forever and one day, we will all be together again thanks to our sweet Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Another Christmas without you. I missed you so much and Tristyn and I reminisced about how I would wake up and then wake you up if I heard Tristyn getting up on Christmas morning, watching him tear open his gifts, taking pictures, sitting around in our pj's, then ususally going back to bed! Also, had your traditional green-bean casserole. I cooked it every year because you loved it. See you soon, my love! Mom

It's been two years since you left us, my love. A lot has happened and things are changing, One thing that will never change is that you will always be a part of our lives. You are there in everything I do. You are so very loved by those you left behind so soon. I can still see your smile and the way you would react to things I said to you. I know you would be happy for me right now.

Tristyn and I went to Candlelight Memorial at Southeastern yesterday evening for all that had attended and past away this past year. It was a beautiful little service and I appreciated the invitation. The names of all were read aloud and included my Beau. We love and miss him so, but it did remind me that he had the opportunity to get the college experience.

I remember Beau bringing laughter and life to any family gathering we had growing up. He was always so much FUN and always told me the best stories when I was really little. I miss you Beau!

I think about Beau all day long every day. When the seasons change, when my rose bushes that he planted for me bloom, when the caladiums he gave me last year for Mother's Day start coming up again. Everything I hear, see or do reminds me of him (shopping in the grocery store, listening to music, sitting on my front porch, when it rains, when the wind blows. I love you my Beau.

Beau was a beautiful, kind, loving and compassionant individual. He had many struggles along the way, but remained a loving and kind soul. So many bad choices, but always had a smile for those he loved. He loved his little family, especially his son, mother and brother and they miss him more than he could ever have imagined.

I remember little Beau...

July 2, 2012
During times of grief we often forget the moments in our lives when we laughed much and often. However, after a time of mourning God allows sweet memories to return to comfort us and warm our hearts. When I received the email from my Sister announcing the Memorial Page for my recently deceased nephew, Beau Wheeler, I was not ready to relive the memories of our life when we all were first married and had very young children. Our young lives were active, troubled, busy, and all the rest of the words that describe young couples today. The difference in our lives was that there was so much laughter. Looking back, even problems have their lighter moments and when an opportunity to laugh or make fun of a situation or a relative, we never let an opportunity pass. We were only poor in money.   My sister, Carolyn was the proud Mother of one handsome young man, Beau, in those days. Later on her other handsome son, Christian was born. She and Wayne lived at apartments behind the Steak & Ale Restaurant off Sherwood Boulevard. It was a beautiful place. The complex surrounded a large swimming pool with lovely gardens and palm and banana trees everywhere. Just entering the shady pool area was instant relaxation for a weary new Mom. Wayne and Carolyn were great parents and totally proud of their small tan baby boy. I say tan because Beau loved being in the pool. He swam like a dolphin at an early age before he even started elementary school. Sister and I loved to see him come out of the apartment, shut the door and head straight to the deep in of the pool. His focus was on the diving board and we quietly watched as other tenants and guests gasped to see the small boy dive in head first and not come up immediately. As fine Southern women do, they swooned and screamed as he showed up at the opposite end of the pool having swum the length of it. Wayne or Carolyn would often be standing at the shallow end to help him up so he could run back and do it over and over for hours. He would hold up his tiny hand and grin at all the staring adults who could not believe their eyes while his Dad would say, “Good job, son!” We thought it was wonderful. Last year on June 26, 2011, Beau swam again. Tired and weary he went toward his Savior, Jesus who stood with his earthly father, Wayne with their hands outstretched to grab him into Heaven. I feel in my spirit that they both shouted, “Good job, son!” I miss you Beau. God bless you Tristyn and Carolyn.

Buffed up Beau

Here is a picture of Beau when he was working out with a high school friend of his who was lifting weights for the Olympics.  He was so happy, healthy, and young- the way I love to remember him.
