It is mind boggling Chris has been gone for 14 years. His huge personality, infectious sense of humor, bright smile, sensitive heart, generosity of self, and dedication to the greater good is sorely missed every single day. The world dimmed when Chris left. His memory will never be forgotten and his legacy lives on. Thank you for remembering. We hope the pictures of him bring back good memories.

Although we haven’t had a big fundraiser in years, the Firefighter/Paramedic Christopher D. Wheatley Memorial Foundation (FF/PM CDW Memorial Foundation) continues to support our scholarship partnerships with Lemont High School, Chicago Fire Department’s Gold Badge Society, University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)—College of Medicine, and Romeoville Fire Academy. Over the past 14 years, FF/PM CDW Memorial Foundation has distributed over $230,000 to students who embody Chris’s commitment to service and love of life.

If you’d like to make a donation today to help keep the scholarship program going, we’d greatly appreciate it! In the coming months, we hope to share news about our vision of CDW Memorial Foundation moving forward, and how we will ensure sustainability for the scholarship program for many years to come.
