Eric Matthew Wheeler

Eric M. Wheeler, of Bethel Park, passed away on December 17, 2025, at the age of 47.

He is survived by his incredible son, Blaze Wheeler; mother, Joanne (fiancé, John Havel) Pace; brothers, Curtis (fiancée, Michele Landry) and Ryan (fiancée, Jessica Kenny) Wheeler; significant other, Lindsay O'Neil; dear niece, Raina Wheeler; and faithful rottweiler, Xena Blue. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert E. Wheeler.

Eric, a decorated Corporal (E-4) in the United States Marine Corps, was awarded the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, a Certificate of Appreciation, the Rifle Marksman Marksmanship Badge, and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal. After his service, he dedicated himself to his community as a postal worker at the USPS North Side office. He shared a deep passion for hockey with his son; both were exceptional players.

Throughout his life, Eric carried the heart of a warrior, facing every battle with strength, resilience, and determination. As an organ donor, Eric’s legacy continues to live on. He would be deeply honored to know that his final gift brought hope and life to others.
