Marport Bids Farewell To A Friend
Jeff Wheeler died after his motorcycle struck a car Saturday afternoon in Naramata, British Columbia.
This past weekend, Marport lost a fervent supporter. We also lost a good friend.
He was known as a Good Samaritan – and in fact – Jeff Wheeler was returning home from a conference for small conservation charities when his motorcycle collided with a car.
Jeff, aged 40, died as a result of injuries he sustained this past Saturday near his home of Naramata, British Columbia. He was rushed to Penticton Regional Hospital, where he eventually succumbed to his injuries. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have ruled out speed and alcohol as factors in the accident. The driver of the other vehicle did not sustain any injuries.
Jeff had a sharp business mind which took him into the world of finance and investment banking, most recently as a senior executive with Manulife Financial. While his work often involved significant travel, he kept a deep passion for his home and his family. Jeff’s top priority was always his wife, Laurie, and three daughters. He thrived on adventures with his family and always made a place for events that involved both family and friends.
Jeff will be greatly missed.
