He spent the majority of his life as a hibachi chef, where his remarkable ability to transform the simplest ingredients into a five-star meal left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of tasting his creations. In the mid-90s and early 00s, he reached the pinnacle of his career as the head chef at the renowned Japanese steakhouse, Miyabis, where his culinary skills were celebrated by colleagues and patrons alike.

A man of many interests, Sihpw was the life of the party, especially around the holidays, which was his favorite time of the year. His love for his family was unparalleled, and he was always happiest when surrounded by his children and grandchildren. In his leisure time, he enjoyed fishing and sharing a drink with friends, embodying the spirit of a true family man.

Those who knew Wehner would describe him as loving, friendly, and wise. His warm smile and generous spirit were infectious, and he had a unique ability to make everyone around him feel special and valued. His wisdom was a guiding light for many, and his advice and support will be deeply missed.
