To the family my thoughts are with u and in my heart the dear brother to Greg wheeler my dad will be Missed and a awesome send off im so glad was able to watch the service love from joal
I remember the good times I had with Craig at school. Always fun to be with, and always there with a witty comment. I still fondly remember the nickname he gave me at primary school.
Darryl worked with Craig at Jacques Martin (2000-2005) and Craig became a good friend to both of us. Many card nights, lots of laughs, dinners and drinks, Craig cooked awesome Lamb Shanks. The 3 of us has a wonderful time at the 2007 Rugby World Cup in the UK and France. Great 6 weeks away, rugby and touring. Have so many great memories. Craig you were taken far too soon. Thoughts are with the Wheeler family at this time. Fenella and Darryl Gray
I worked with Craig at Jacques Martin from 2000 to 2004, and all of my memories of him are of what a genuinely nice and humourous man he was. He was well liked and respected and I was shocked to hear that he has been taken from us too soon. My heartfelt condolences to Craig's family and friends. Rest in peace my friend.
Farewell my friend May the angels take you home This is not goodbye because I’ll see you again
