Reflections for Corporal Scott Wheeler
Scott was a great friend with a big heart! I had the opportunity to meet Scott only about 3 years ago, but he quickly become a close friend. He had that special gift of making you feel like you knew him forever!! He will be sorely missed. I selfishly will miss talking to him each week, but I find comfort knowing that he is in a better place. Tracy & the Wheeler family, you are in our thoughts often!
Love,
Dave & Cheryl Voigt

SCOTTIE.... I will never forget you friend. I'll always remember countless nights on our shift how you kept me laughing for hours on end. I'll never forget the COUNTLESS phones calls in the middle of the night to my phone and alls you would say on my machine is "I'M RICK JAMES" lol.. You sure knew how to laugh and have fun!!! Rest in peace brother, and keep HCPD out of harms way!!

Officer Wheeler-
Based upon messages that have been left by your fellow officers, some of whom I know, you were an outstanding officer and a good friend. You will be deeply missed by the Law Enforcement community. We've got the watch now, rest easy!!

Scott, I was heart broken the day you were struck by that car. I always figured that we all can get hurt but never die. Now I know that we are all not invincible. We all carry that feeling close. We are better cops and more importantly better people now. There is a hole in this Department that will never heal. We all carry that scar and if there is anything at all posible positive out of this horrible tragedy, we are more careful as we have seen our own mortality. I know you still have our backs. You will be missed. I know in my heart that we will all see you again when we follw you to Heaven and into the warm embrace of God. Godspeed brother. You will never be forgotten.
Tracy, words cannot help you in this desparate time. Just know that there are at least 390 of us praying for you and are here to help with anything you need.

A Police Officer's Prayer
When I am needed for duty God, and
someone has to call, give me strength to
save a life, or soften someone's fall.
If neighbors need a helping hand or
just a friendly pat, fill my heart
with love---so I can give them that.
God, staying by my side with your holy light,
and guide my footsteps so I
do all things right.
I want to fill my calling and give the
best in me, to gaurd my every neighbor
and protect his property.
At the end of each day let me look back
and find, that I fulfilled my job
proudly with a satisfied mind
And if, according to my fate, I am to lose
my life; please bless with you
protecting hand my loving Family.
***You will be greatly missed Scott***
May we meet again in heaven, but until then
you'll be riding shot gun with me as I cross
the finish line**

Police Officer's Wife Prayer
I am a Policeman's Wife
The table's set, the meal's prepared,
and our guests will soon arrive.
My husband once more disappears with
the hope of keeping a child alive.
While waiting at home alone,
our plans have gone awry.
My first response is to
sit right down and cry.
But soon again I relize
the importance of my life,
When I agreed to take on the duties
of being a Policeman's Wife.
While there may be drawbacks,
I'll take them in my stride
Knowing "My Daddy saves life's",
our children will say with pride.
Speeding cars or flying bullets
may be his final fate,
But with God's help, I can remain
my Policeman's faithful mate.

Scott,
I did not have the pleasure of knowing you well, but based on the comments of your peers it is obvious you are the example of a true COP...hardworking, dedicated and most importantly, loved by your brother and sister officers. I offer my prayers to your family, friends and colleagues. I know no one will ever forget your sacrifice and things won't be the same without you.
