He is survived by his father, William “Rick” Heeter; brother, William “Brad” (Darla) Heeter; his nephews, William “Nicholas” and Matthew “Elliott” Heeter; and nieces, Jacq Whitmer and Julia Whitmer. He was born in Joplin, Missouri, on August 25, 1975, to Bonnie & Rick Heeter and moved to Georgia with his family in 1987. He joined the Georgia Army National Guard, in 1997, and attained the rank of Sergeant (E-5). He spent time in Kuwait mobilized in communications. He also served on the Honor Guard and became driver to commanding General. After 15 years of service to his Country, he was medically discharged, after suffering a back injury. He also worked at BlueLinx building products, in the moulding and sales department. He loved and enjoyed his dogs, watching and feeding birds on his feeders, just outside his window. Watching the Braves and Georgia football sports brought him great joy.
