Wehrle is the son of an educator and a salesman. His father, Larry Wehrle, graduated from Texas A&M, where he was Captain of the Aggie Band, receiving a commission in the US Army Signal Corps. He served in Europe during WWII with the Ordnance Division, promoted to Major. Upon returning to civilian life he entered the feed business in Mineola, Texas, becoming Sales Manager for progressively larger companies in different Texas cities until his retirement in 1980. Betty Wehrle, a journalism graduate from Baylor University, began a second career as an educator in the 1960s, eventually serving as a dean of El Centro College in Dallas, Texas. Both won numerous awards in their field.〔Chiori Santiago, ''Art of Combat'', Image, August 9, 1987〕 Growing up in various Texas towns and cities, John Wehrle developed artistic skills to compensate for constantly being the new kid on the block. Living in Waco, Texas as a teenager, he participated in a nationally recognized youth theater at Baylor University. Fellow students in the program included Robert Wilson, now celebrated avant-garde theater director. He attended Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas where he was cartoonist for the school paper and named outstanding senior art student there. Actively showing work during his later school years, he was accepted in exhibitions of the Texas Fine Arts Association and had work purchased by the Dallas Museum of Art. At his father’s insistence he was enrolled in ROTC.〔
