Obituary for Arthur Earnest Sheeler
Arthur “Art” Earnest Sheeler
March 10, 1941 - February 13, 2021
Arthur Sheeler, beloved husband of Sharon Sheeler of Calgary, Alberta, passed away at Foothills Medical Center on Saturday, February 13, 2021 at the age of 79 years.
Art was the loving father of Sandi Maday of Edmonton, Alberta, Art JR. Sheeler (Diane) of Monument, Colorado, Tom Sheeler (Kandi) of Dewinton, Alberta, and Harry Sheeler (Nicky) of Kelowna, British Columbia. He will also be lovingly remembered by granddaughters, Jaydn, Jaryn, Jayce and Sarah; grandsons, Logan, Brandon and Ryan; nephews, Scott, Jodie, Jimmy and Tracy and nieces, Cindy, Maureen, Sherry and Laura-Ann. Art was predeceased by his mother, Vivian Sheeler; father, Harry Sheeler; sisters, Sharon Sheeler and Lois Dobie (Sheeler); and brother-in-law, Scottie Dobie.
Art was a very hard-working man spending most of his career driving truck. Likely due to his ability and desire to teach and mentor, Art was both a driver trainer and supervisor of safety during his tenure with Mullen Trucking. Art had a very diverse ability and entrepreneurial spirit as he obtained his Journeyman’s ticket in Plumbing, operated a Sawmill business, a Gravel pit mine, a street side burger truck, and finished his career owning A & S Truck Delivery Services until retirement. When Art wasn’ t working, he volunteered as a cub scout leader, and had the boys/cub-pack constantly involved in activities.
Despite not knowing a great deal about sports, he attended his children’s activities whenever possible, and was always identified as one of the loudest supporters. Art was an avid car enthusiast, displayed as one of the original seven members of the Alberta Mustang Car Club…serving as President. Art jointly worked with the Mustang car club from Great Falls Montana in which they collectively started the International Mustang Meet. (Now in its 42 year) Upon retirement, Art engaged in his beloved community of Forest Lawn.
Art received the Police Chief award for Exceptional Recognition. He also received the Volunteer of the Year award from the Calgary Block Watch Council. Above all Art’s endeavors and accomplishments, he was no prouder or passionate than that of family. Art exemplified his pure and caring heart by his undying love for his wife Sharon to the very end.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Art’s memory to Calgary SPCA.
