Christopher Briant Wheeler, 30, of California, Mo., went to be with his Lord on Tuesday, May 17, 2022, at the Jefferson City Nursing and Rehabilitation Center with loving family by his side.

Christopher accepted Jesus Christ into his heart and was baptized on January 14, 2001, at Pilot Grove Baptist Church in Latham, Mo.

He was creative and artistic with a talent for drawing and even created and tattooed much of his own body art. He had a giving heart and would truly do anything for anyone. An intelligent man, Christopher had a distinctive way of looking at the world.
