Charles Grey Wheeler, 59, died Tuesday, April 18, 2017. A native and lifelong resident of Hampton Grey worked as a carpenter. Every year, he handmade wooden Christmas ornaments for family and friends which he gifted by hiding them in the lucky recipient's yards for them to find.

Grey is survived by his daughters, Mildred Edwards and Martha Wheeler; sister, Laura Marie Wheeler; brothers, Bob Wheeler and Johnny Wheeler and wife Cece; many nieces and nephews; and best friends Leroy and Andy.

A get together and cookout to celebrate Grey's life will be held in May.
