April 11, 1935 - February 28, 2020
James W. Wheat, 84, of North Little Rock, passed away surrounded by his family, Friday, February 28, 2020. He was born on April 11, 1935 in Prescott to the late Garland and Gladys Kirk Wheat. James is also preceded in death by his wife, Charlene Elizabeth Wheat; two grandsons, Jason Bobbitt and Austin Ussery; two son-in-laws, Bill Dixon and Rodney Ussery; and brother, Jimmy Joe Wheat.
James loved the outdoors; which included hunting, fishing, and gardening. He was in construction for over 25 years and chances are you have driven on over one of the bridges he helped build. He was a 32nd degree Mason.
James is survived by four daughters: Patricia Diane Dixon, Connie Sue Pruss (David), Tina Gale Ussery, and Jamie Rana Wheat all of North Little Rock; five grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.

I owe James thanks for all the help over the years. I grew up with James and Charlene with the girls, Diane, Connie, Tina and Jamie from a young age. I have good memories of those days, and James taught me so much.
I could always count on your father to lighten the mood with a good joke. There will never be another man quite like him and his memory will live on forever.â€
Sincerely,
Mike
