Wesley Allen Bannon, age 58, passed away on Dec. 16, 2017, with his family at his side. Services will be held at the Sutton Community Church on Friday, Dec. 22, 2017, at 4 p.m. followed by a potluck.
Wesley was born in Palmer, the Son of Mary and Albert Bannon, on the 28th of June 1959. He met the woman of his dreams in 1979 and they married on May 13, 1983, and then settled on a farm where he and his loving wife Beth Bannon raised their 3 sons and daughter while steadfastly persevering at farming as his father, before him. His honesty and forthrightness was always sincere. He will truly be missed by so many.
He is survived by his wife, 2 sisters, his brother, 4 children, 10 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, as well as countless close friends and adopted family. Everything he grew, he grew with love and complete dedication. He was the happiest driving when driving his John Deere in his fields on any given day or having a BBQ with his loved ones. As he makes his journey, we feel his strength wrapped around us. As he arrives at his final destination he will be greeted by his best friend Billy and the family that left before.
