Roger Wheeler Tragedy

Donation protected
Roger was one of the Good ones that turned out be a Great one. He lived a good, honest, hard working life.  He practiced what he believed and was kind  to other people.  When put to the test, he became a humble hero while working on a ranch clearing  a field. Unexpectedly, his friend became caught in the tracks of a moving excavator.  Roger tried to free him from the tracks and in the process gave the ultimate sacrifice.  A tragic, unresolved accident with so many unanswered questions.

Not only did the world lose a hero but my sister, Peggy (Sawyer) Wheeler, also lost her hero, her best friend, her husband and provider.   I am confident that she will work through this as she relies on her faith in God and is supported by friends and family, but it will take time. 

Many  supportive people have asked what they can do to help.    Nothing can replace the loss, but we can help Peggy by reaching out with kind words and memories of our friend that she can draw on in the dark hours of the night.   We can also help provide her with the financial support that allows her to grieve and then gear up for her future by finishing her college degree.   We want to set up a fund to help Peggy cover expenses associated with this tragedy and help her continue in the future they envisioned together.
