There are no tears in Heaven
nor grief of any kind
I leave this final teardrop
to those I've left behind.
Though absent from the body
I'm present with the Lord
The joy of my salvation
is now my full reward.
In humble submission to the Will of God, the management and staff of Sunset Memorial Chapel, Inc. sorrowfully announce the earthly departure of Mr. Joe McKinley Wheeler, age 75, of Sylacauga, AL. On Friday, May 27, 2022, while in the serenity and comfort of Ascension St. Vincent’s Hospital, Birmingham, Alabama, surrounded by his loving & caring family, God dispatched the Angel of Death to relay a message to Joe, saying "I see your road is rough, and the hill is getting too steep. Come rest your head upon My breast, your soul I will keep."
A Celebration of his life will be Thursday, June 2, 2022 at 1:00 PM from the Pine Grove Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery. His mortal frame will lie in repose of his eternal crib for a walk through viewing Wednesday, June 1, 2022 from 2-5 pm in the Sunset Chapel of Remembrance.
Please keep the Wheeler family in prayer, as we reflect the gracious memories.
Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.sunsetmc.com.
