David Earl Wheat

Dear Kim and Girls,
I wanted to let you know that we are praying for each of you. It is so hard to believe that David has gone to heaven ahead of all of us. Kim, you and David were such a wonderful example, along with your parents of a Christian marriage when we were dating and beginning our own marriage. We know that life will hold many challenges ahead but we are confident that you will turn to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We are praying that you will each have the peace that...

Mrs. Kim,
How blessed these little three year olds have been to have such wonderful loving teachers in you and David. What a witness of God's love David has been to our little Caroline. She loved him so much which made us love him even more. We will miss him dearly! Jessica & Hilary, I'm so sorry for the loss of your wonderful daddy. How precious you were to him. Please know that I will pray for you. Love and hugs from us and Caroline.

Kim,

We remember David so fondly in earlier years at Birchman. We always appreciated David's happy greeting no matter when or where we saw him. His kindness was evident to everyone and we know he will be greatly missed here but - oh, what a joy to know we will all see him again forever in beautiful, joyful, incredible Heaven! Please know our prayers are with you and your family during these days.

Jessica and Hilary, you don't know us, but we knew your mom back in our youth days at Highview Church. Through your mom we came to know your Dad. We have not be in touch for awhile, but we ran into them a couple of weeks ago and they could do nothing but talk about the two of you. You could see the pride in your Dad's eyes. It was so good to see them both and we couldn't believe it when we heard about his death. We are sorry we didn't find out until the funeral was over, but please know...

My dear friend Kim, sweet Jessica, and my precious Hilary,
My heart is so heavy for all of you. When I heard the news I immediately started praying for the Lord to give you strength and I could not stop thinking about you and wishing I was there to help in any way you needed me.
David will always be remembered as a wonderful husband, dad, and sweet friend. He always had a smile on his face and was kind to everyone. He was so devoted to the Lord and his family. What a wonderful man...

Kim, Jessica, and Hilary:
The parking lot before David's funeral was a testimony to the number of lives that he touched. He had an influence on so many. We'll all miss the joy he brought, but it's an encouragement to know that he is experiencing unspeakable bliss in the Lord's presence. I pray that God's grace will sustain you through your grief. I am here for you in any way possible, and I love you all.

Dear Jessica and Hilary, I knew your mom from when she was in high school going to Highview Baptist and I was a roommate of your dad at Stephen F. Austin State so I realize what a wonderful and glorious mom and dad you have. I have told tons of friends that knew your father from SFA and they were shocked and saddened to learn about what happened. Please remember that all the people who knew David are more blessed because of his presence in our lives.

Kim, Jessica, and Hillary
Thanks for sharing your Husband and Father with the world. It was truly a joy to know him. Yesterday's Service brought a flood of great memories. David was a Godly man and we know his work on this earth will continue through you, his friends and many children that he poured his life into. Our Love and prayers are with you all.

Mrs. Wheat, Jessica, and Hilary. Your family is in my prayers. The ceremony today showed what a great example Mr. Wheat was as a husband and father, he is one of many great Christian men, and was an amazing example of servitude to Christ. May you be at peace knowing that he is walking along the golden path, and that one day you will see him again.
