Daniel’s Obituary
Daniel Mark Wheeler, born on March 5, 1959 in Edmonton, Alberta, passed away peacefully at home on December 14, 2024. He leaves behind a legacy of love of the outdoors and animals and creativity that will forever resonate with those who knew him.
Dan was the beloved husband of Liz Horner and a devoted father to his sons Joshua (Suzee) of Peterborough, Ontario and Aaron of Victoria, B.C. He is also survived by his siblings: John (Leslie), Ralph (Janice), and Marietta (Miles), all of Edmonton. Dan was predeceased by his parents John Alfred and Carol Betty Louise Wheeler. Dan’s life was enriched by countless close friends and co-workers whose lives he touched.
Throughout his full and varied life, Dan embraced adventure at every turn. His journey began in Edmonton but soon led him to Sunshine Ski Resort where he spent many years skiing before moving to Peace River to work at Misery Mountain. Due to lack of snow he found a new career at the Peace River pulp mill (DMI/Mercer) for the next three decades as a power engineer and Health and Safety Technician. Dan exemplified commitment not only to his work but also to ensuring the safety of others.
A passionate outdoorsman at heart, Dan volunteered with the Canadian Ski Patrol while also serving as a volunteer firefighter with the Peace River Fire Department. His adventurous spirit shone brightly during family camping trips to Jasper and Banff, and on backpacking trips with Liz and various trips with the guys, where he captured breathtaking moments through his incredible photography skills which he’d been honing since the age of 16.
Upon retirement from the mill industry, Dan found solace within creative pursuits as one of the members of the Peace River Art Hub, filling roles as director and president. Operating his “At Peace Media Studio” allowed him countless hours immersed in artistic expression.
Dan’s love extended beyond family; it encompassed animals too! A tireless advocate for animal welfare through In the Woods Animal Rescue, alongside Liz they fostered numerous dogs throughout their time together while volunteering for initiatives aimed at helping furry companions find loving homes.
Daniel’s Celebration of Life is January 19th at Chateau Nova at 2pm. We invite anyone whose lives were touched by this remarkable man to share photos, memories or stories about him on our obituary page.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making donations either to In the Woods Animal Rescue or to the Peace River Art Hub.
