Jesse entered into eternal rest on May 26, 2023. He was born on April 19, 1965 in Durant, Oklahoma to Delton Lawrence and Nelda Joy Wheeler.

Jesse’s first calling in life was becoming a Funeral Director and Embalmer for close to 40 years. After many years in the funeral industry, he felt a second calling to join the medical industry and become a Licensed Practical Nurse. In his free time, Jesse enjoyed walking and spending time with his beloved dogs, Rusty and Tanner. Jesse was a devout Catholic and was very committed to his faith.

Jesse was preceded in death by his parents, Delton Lawrence Wheeler and Nelda Joy Wheeler; brothers, Boyd Layne Wheeler and Gary Dewayne Wheeler; niece, Christina Michelle Wheeler; paternal grandparents, John Phlegm Wheeler and Beulah Barrow Wheeler; and maternal grandparents, Floyd Gilbert Nicholson and Jessie Viola Larson. Left to cherish his memory are his brothers, Clinton Allen Wheeler, Daniel Lawrence Wheeler and wife, Shannon; sister, Chenena Kaye Martin and husband, Ben and several nieces and nephews.

The family suggests memorials be made to an animal rescue of your choice.
