Todd Wheeler Obituary

Todd Wheeler, 55, of Wilkes-Barre, passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 26, 2026, in Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre.

He was born in Wilkes-Barre, a son of Shirley (Weiss) Wheeler, of Wilkes-Barre, and the late Thomas Wheeler. Todd was a graduate of Meyers High School, Class of 1988. He was employed as a warehouseman by Sid Harvey Industries in Hanover Township.

Todd was an avid bowler, playing in various leagues in Wyoming Valley. He was a die-hard Notre Dame, Dallas Cowboys, and New York Yankees fan. Most of all, he was a loving son, brother, uncle, and friend to all who knew him.

In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Anthony and Doris Weiss, and by his paternal grandparents, Merritt and Olwyn Wheeler.

Todd is survived by his mother, Shirley (Weiss) Wheeler, and by his stepfather, David Garrity; along with his brothers, Thomas Wheeler and his wife, Susan, of Wilkes-Barre; and Timothy Wheeler and his wife, Gail, of Wilkes-Barre. He was greatly loved and will be sadly missed by his nephew and nieces, and by his aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Private funeral services will be held at the convenience of the family from Nat Gawlas Jordan Funeral Home, Wilkes-Barre.
