Michael Patrick Wheeler

I am deeply saddened to recently hear about the death of Mike. Such a great and kind man it was a pleasure to have known him. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Please know that I am praying for his beloved family during this terribly sad time.

Celebrating the life of a very special man. From the first time we met Mike he welcomed us into his family. We always enjoyed his company & southern hospitality. Glad we had a chance to experience Disney with him. We have many great memories of our trip which we all know was a special vacation spot for him. The Epcot fireworks have a whole new meaning after watching them with him! Christy, Michael, Michelle, Dave, Parker, Tanner, Granny & Skipper we are looking forward to visiting soon...

Although I had not seen Mike in many years, I was very saddened to learn of his passing. We became friends during our high school years at North Charleston, and had many good times together. My deepest sympathies to his family.

I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Mike was never without a smile or a kind word. He always asked how you were doing, and loved to make you laugh. He entertained us at our Staff meetings with his humor and antics. Just the kindest person you could ever have the privilege of knowing. I will be praying for you all during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Robin Klingenberg

While I did not work directly with Mike, I did interact with him from time to time at the Hollings Cancer Center. He was the nicest guy in the world. Always positive, always welcoming to others, always willing to lend a hand, always ready to laugh. A truly selfless, great human being. He will be missed. My sincere condolences.

I worked with Mike for many years at MUSC and Hollings Cancer Center. I will always remember his genuine kindness, compassion and dedication to research.

It's surreal that I am writing this message. As I am doing so- teary eyed and extremely saddened, I know Mike would want me to be strong right now. Michael Patrick Wheeler, as I always called him, has been my friend since the 1st day I met him. Mike, thank you for coming to see me in the office a few weeks ago. We hugged so tight and I am so grateful for that forever memory. You were my friend and the coolest person I have ever met! You ended every conversation we ever had with, "Love ya"....

While I am deeply saddened to learn of Mike's passing, I am not surprised to read of his enormous accomplishments, awards and contributions to our community. Mike was a positive, fantastic, and encouraging person. I worked with Mike at MUSC and he always saw the glass as half full, often making our jobs better. He was the happiest talking about his family. He would always "beam with light" when telling the stories about them. Wade and I send our deepest sympathies to Mike's entire...
