Thomas B. Wesley
March 3, 2017
Thomas B. Wesley, age 80, of Molino, FL, passed away on Tuesday, February 28, 2017. He was born on June 29, 1936, in Pensacola.
Tom served in the U.S. Army and retired as a Lieutenant from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department after 25 years of service. He always said he had a calling for public service, and law enforcement greatly fulfilled him. He loved his career and remained dear friends with many of his fellow officers. After retirement he became an expert woodworker, making lots of handcrafted toys and furniture for family and friends. He thoroughly enjoyed his Saturday morning ‘Coffee Club’ meetings at Fran’s Diner with his retired buddies. He was also a past member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
Tom was preceded in death by his wife of 47 years, Netta Faye Wesley. He is survived by his two daughters, Patti (Neil) Forrester and Susan (Rusty) Hendrix; his beloved granddaughters, Leslee (Jordan) Williams and Kayla (Keith) Meador; and three extra-special great-grandchildren, Charlee Faye Meador, Landree Lennix Williams, and Jett Jordan Williams. The babies brought great joy to him and they’ve always jumped for joy when they saw their ‘Pa.’ He is also survived by two brothers, Donald Wesley, of Orlando, FL, and Woody Wesley, Jr., of Ft. Walton Beach, FL, along with several nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, March 2, 2017, 5:00 – 7:00 pm at Eastern Gate Memorial Funeral Home. Funeral services will be at Eastern Gate on Friday, March 3, 2017, 11:00 am. Following the service, Daddy will be laid to rest next to Moma at Eastern Gate Memorial Gardens.
Pallbearers will be sons-in-law Neil Forrester and Rusty Hendrix, grandsons-in-law Jordan Williams and Keith Meador, nephew Brett Hall, along with Roger Grice and Butch Lewis. Honorary Pallbearers are Larry Lattimer, Steve Dunn, Vince Seely, Paul Page, and D.L. Roland.
