Stephen Dale Wheelon, 51, of Hendersonville, NC, died Tuesday morning, April 1, 2008 at his residence.

A native and lifelong resident of Henderson County, he was the son of the late James Winslow and Evelyn Rhymer Wheelon.

Well-known as the “Drywall Man,” Steve was a drywall contractor for 33 years. He was an avid golfer, enjoyed basketball, and dearly treasured time with his wife and daughters. He was a member of Mud Creek Baptist Church.

The family would like to acknowledge the contributions of Hank Asher. Without his generosity, Steve would not have been able to pursue extensive medical treatments.

The family will be at the home of Jan and Allan Overgaard on Highland Golf Drive.

    I will miss Steve. He took me under his wing when I was a Sophomore in High School while playing basketball for the late great Jim Pardue. He helped me become the player I was and the man I am. He and my late father often worked on the same building projectc, Steve installing drywall my dad finishing concrete. To Brenda and the rest of the family he can rest now. I wish I could attend the service but I now reside out of state. My thoughts and prayers are with you Will all due respect Kevin Young, Cortland, New York

    Brenda, Allan, Jan, and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I never had the honor of meeting Stephen but I do remember him through when I worked at Simley and am sure he was a wonderful man. His memories will live on in your hearts and remember that our Lord has promised you that you will get to see him again one day in heaven. I am thinking of you, Vanessa

    My condolences to Steve's wife, children and family. Memories are the precious gifts no one can take from us. As a Bearcat friend and fellow athlete, I remember how Steve brought laughter and fun to life and excitement to the game of basketball . The last time I saw Steve was at a golf tournament at Crooked Creek. Over the years, our lives had chosen different paths, but we both became avid golfers and I know his love for the game. Steve is now on the most beautiful course where there are no bogeys and his walk down the fairway is free of troubles and sickness. Bless you Steve. May you have a hole-in-one in Heaven. May God be with the Wheelon family during their sadness.

    Steve was one of my best friends and he will be missed. He left this life too early and his impact on all our lives will be remembered. I feel so sad that he did not get to see his daughters reach their potential and hope that they will live their lives to the fullest. Make your daddy proud! We love all of you and hope your grief and pain will be short. Remember the good times with your dad and husband. He loved you very much.
