Albert Wheat Obituary
Albert Charles "Chub" Wheat, 50
January 18,1972 – February 4, 2022
Albert Charles "Chub" Wheat died unexpectedly the morning of February 4, 2022.
Chub was born in Deer Lodge on January 18, 1972. He was the son of the late Julia Hutchison and Paul Revere "Bill" Wheat. Chub graduated from Powell County High School in Deer Lodge in 1992.
Chub married the love of his life, Kelli Jacobson on August 8, 1998. They were blessed with the birth of their three children: Karson, Bridger, and Aliawna. Chub and Kelli divorced but continued to remain good friends and were always there for their children.
Chub never met a stranger in is life and could bullshit with anyone at any time. Chub loved the people he worked with at MT State Prison, golfing, hunting, fishing, going to Karson's football games, going in the mountains with his kids, and hanging out with his kids and all their friends. Chub's smile could light up the room, his laugh was infectious, his cocky grin made you smile, and his bear hugs were awesome.
Chub was preceded in death by his mother, Julia Marie Wheat Hutchison; father, Paul Revere "Bill" Wheat; brothers, Paul Revere "Billy" Wheat Jr, and John Foley "Buckwheat" Wheat.
Survivors include the mother of his children, Kelli Jacobson of Helena; children, Karson Revere Wheat, Bridger Christian John Wheat, and Aliawna Lane Wheat; sisters, Carla and Fred Beierle of Butte, Debby Brown of Trout Creek, Linda and Chic Hoenig of Helena, Cindy Marshall of Helena, Laura and Chet Periman of Deer Lodge, Val and Mitch Clement of Cottage Grove, WI; brothers, Skip Wilson of Butte, Jim and Karen White of Helena, many nieces, nephews, cousins.
A memorial for Chub will be at a later date and an announcement will be made.

We are so very sad. Chub was and always will be a nephew to us, and was one of the kindest people we know. Heaven is lucky to gain him, and there is no doubt he will always watch over his children. Karson, Bridger and Alli always remember that, and have Faith that he is right beside you, and when you don't expect it you will feel his presence. Love you all,
Aunt Lori and Uncle Mike

Deepest condolences to Chubby's family. I grew up in the same neighborhood as Chubby and was friends with his sisters Val and Laura. He was such a cute little guy. Always busy outside playing and running around. Even at a young age he was very personable. I am so sorry for your loss. Chris Brown
