Casey Ryan Wheeler was born in Ogden, Utah on May 24, 1977.  The son of Robyn and Stephen Wheeler and the youngest of four children. He grew up in Morgan, Utah.  An active child with an extreme love of sports, undeniable determination, and a charismatic sense of humor. His athletic escapades included countless ice hockey games on the neighbor’s frozen pond with his childhood friends.  However, even as a young man, his extreme caring and generosity towards others contradicted his true age.  True to his giving nature, he served an LDS mission in London, England.

Like the charming romantic he was, Casey proposed to his cherished sweetheart on a sunset plane ride.  He was sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple to the love of his life, Angela Silver, on July 22, 2005.  They welcomed two children into their family: Max, now 5 years of age, and Tenley who just turned 3.  Casey adored spending time with his family. He taught his son and daughter the true meaning of love and the art of sincere forgiveness.  He enjoyed playing basketball and the occasional round of golf.  He was also very active in his Syracuse LDS Ward, especially with the Young Men’s Program.  He relished contributing his time assisting others in need, and constantly would strive to inspire others to reach their ultimate potential.  

Casey graduated from Weber State University with a Bachelors Degree in Business, emphasis in Marketing. 

Casey had battled with brain cancer since May 2, 2011.  Showing the heart and courageousness of a true warrior, he fought with every ounce of strength that God had bestowed upon his body and spirit.  He surpassed all expectations of the Doctors, enduring rigorous treatments, 2 extensive surgeries, and countless setbacks.  His fierce determination to stay on this Earth for every moment that he could with his loved ones, was a show of strength that may only be replicated by a chosen few, but will inspire everyone who ever knew him.  On Sunday, January 19, 2014, at 2:31am Casey passed through the veil. Surrounded by his treasured family and loved ones, he once again returned to his Heavenly Home to watch over and protect them from above, just as he had when he walked upon this Earth.

Casey is survived by his wife Angela Wheeler and his two young children: Max and Tenley.  He is also survived by his Mother and Father, Robyn and Stephen Wheeler, and his siblings: Monica (Ben), Brant (Jennifer) and Mark (Laura) and their Families.

The viewing for Casey will be held on Thursday, January 23^rd 6:00-8:00pm at Lindquist Layton Mortuary at 1867 N. Fairfield Road.  Funeral Services will be held Friday, January 24^th at 11:00am at the Morgan Stake Center at 355 N. 700 E. in Morgan.  There will be a viewing from 9:30-10:30am on Friday before the Funeral takes place.  

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the 1^st Bank in Morgan under the account of “Kickin’ Cancer for Casey," or to Casey's fundraiser (here on the blog).

Also something that's very important! We will be collecting stories about Casey's life to put together for his children to have when they're older. We would like to give them every possible opportunity to get to know their wonderful daddy better. Please help us by being prepared with a story, experience, memory, and/or thought to share at the viewing or funeral services if at all possible. We will have paper to write your thoughts and stories down and also video cameras to record your memories and wild stories. If you could also use #bringingcaseyhome on instagram to post a photo of yourself/your family  and state who you are and how you met Casey that would be great. I think it would be wonderful to get all of the people Casey influenced in a book so the kids know what a caring man he was.

If non of these appeal to you than feel free to compose your stories in an email and send them to: angiewheeler99@gmail.com or ruthiesilver@gmail.com

Please also email any photos that you have of casey that you'd like to share, we would love to have them for the kids' books!
