  Wesley C. Wheaton, age 87, of Hilbert died on Friday, November 14, 2014 at his home in Hilbert. He was born February 15, 1927 in Kaukauna, son of the late Joseph & Minnie (Trettin) Wheaton.

Following his discharge, he worked driving bus in the Appleton and Fox Cities area. He also began working with his father-in-law doing remodeling and cabinet building.

From pumping gas, vehicle mechanic work to the sales of Ski-Do Clothing and everything in between, Wes showcased his diligence and hard work ethic. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Rantoul, enjoyed photography, and enjoyed the time spent outdoors hunting, or fishing at his cabin up north.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers: Herman & Herbert Wheaton; a brother-in-law: Melvin Ziegenbein; and a nephew: Timothy Schuh.
