To Cpl. Wheeler's wife, parents, brother and fellow officers -
Though there are no words that will ease your pain, may it help to know that your extended law enforcement family is keeping you in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult and tragic time. At times when I find myself questioning why things like this happen to such good people, I think that God must have needed a really special angel up in Heaven. Rest in peace, Scott Wheeler, and God bless your family!

Scott,

I am blessed that I did get to meet you. At the mall of course. As a dispatcher, you always wonder what the person on the other end of the radio looks like. I used to ask Mary Levy all the time, "what does he look like because he has that sexy voice on the radio"? :-) Anyway, you never gave any problems on the radio at all. When you were called, you went with no hesitation. Except for those 0400 hour calls. You know, when I had to call you like 3 times. Dispatch to 2C41, Dispatch to 2C41, 2C41111111!!! :-) I always joked about that. Anyway, for me, you will always be the ultimate "2C41" and i will absolutely positively miss that voice on my radio. My heart is bleeding for you and your family. Selfishness makes it hard to say that you're in a better place now, but you are. God Bless You and Thank you.

Tracy,
My heart is just breaking for you. I know that no amount of support or love you receive right now will lessen your pain. I know that you are hurting immensely. We are hurting for you. When we buried our six year old son, Scott told us "Don't cry for him, smile for him because you know he is safe and loved where he is at." He also reminded us how we are all just passing through this life. He was so right. I think a lot of us take that for granted. Scott really left a mark on everyone he met. And YOU made the biggest mark on him. Mike and I are thankful that you made him so happy. This pain will never go away but it will get easier. Keep the memories close at heart. Know that Mike and I are here if you need anything at all no matter how big or small. We will pray for you, your in laws and brother in law to get through this as Scott would want you to. I know he is so PROUD of that service held in his honor. It was beautiful. You are in our hearts and prayers. {{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}

Scott,

Although we worked opposite nightshifts, I did have the opportunity to work with you a few times. One night that stands out in my mind was when we responded to Overheart Ln what seemed like a million times to chase off the regulars until they got the picture. Thanks for backing me up. We did a foot patrol together and that night you told me some stories about work and gave me words of wisdom, as a new officer I really appreciated that. It's just hard to believe you are gone, but you definitely won't be forgotten. It's impossible with that goofy laugh of yours that made everyone else laugh. Rest easy in Heaven, Scott.

Dispatchers are we, starting our 12 hour shifts,
reviewing our lineups, preparing for all the "what ifs".
Knowing what officers in our areas are working,
searching all the calls, for possible dangers that maybe lurking.
Knowing far too well, a low priority call, can change in a moment, with horrors that befall.
The most precious sound that each of us hears,is the 3 little words advising, " I am 10-4", in our ears.
We are but messengers with information, relating the calls, but our officers safety is what matters most of all.
Corporal Scott Allen Wheeler, you gave the ultimate sacrifice, in protecting the citizens from their own possible demise.
Your funeral, what an honor it was just to be there.
To see and hear all the tributes, that echoed through the air.
I pray for your Wife, Parents, Brother, family and friends,
and the citizens that you protected, as their loss is without end.
Your Brother and Sister Officers are heartbroken and torn, they are all filled with sadness, with your passing, that they mourn.
Dispatchers are we, hidden away in our room.
You brought vision to our eyes, your sweet voice never sounding gloom.
When a call would go out, your voice was always one of the first ones we would hear, saying " C41 to dispatch, I have the back", and never with fear.
What an honor it was to of worked with you over the 5 years I've been here.
I knew not your face, but your voice, I'll always hold dear.
Rest easy and peacefully in the clouds high above, where the Angels cradle you softly, in wings softer then doves.
May your family and friends be comforted with Gods' Grace, and his Love, as he holds you gently, forever 10-4, in the Heavens above.

Scott,

Everyday for the past 18 years and 6 months, before putting on my headset, I have prayed for the safe return of "my" officers at the end of their shift. On June 16, 2007, I received the transmission that I have always hoped I would never, ever receive; "Officer Down."
It was and will always be my extreme honor and privilege to have been the one on the radio during your last tour serving the citizens of Howard County, and I pray that my voice was in some very small way a comfort. God Bless.

Scott-
I will never forget that day. That Saturday, I logged on to a news website simply to get the weather for the following day. To my shock, on the home page was a picture of you. I couldn't believe it. What I read made me begin to sob. I immediately called my ex-husband, David, to tell him that one of his best friends, a man that he grew up with, was hit by a car and flown to shock trauma. He didn't believe me. "Nahh" he said, "It must be someone else, Scott and Tracy were just here 3 days ago." But he soon learned that it was.
I'll never forget the many many weekends of playing cards and drinking games in my living room. Or going camping in Chincoteague. My kids called you "Uncle Scott" cuz you were part of the family. My heart it breaking for Tracy, but I know that you are surrounding her with your love even now. Rest easy now Scott. Your work here is done. My God hold you close to his side.
You are truly loved.
