Wesley Dobric Obituary

Dobric, Wesley Owens (Wes)
Age 23 of Scottsdale, AZ went to God's loving arms unexpectedly on Friday, April 15, 2011. Wes was born in Seattle, WA. He attended St. Thomas the Apostle, Pope John XXIII Catholic grade schools and Notre Dame Prep High School in Scottsdale, AZ. Wes was most happy surrounded by family and friends and spending precious time with his son Jakob who resides in Prescott. Our hearts are heavy with grief and sadness and boundless gratitude for having the blessing of this beautiful person as a gift in our lives, however short. Wes is survived by his parents Kerry and Karen, brother Andrew and his dearly loved son Jakob. Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 10:00 am at North Ridge Community Church, 6363 E. Dynamite Blvd., Cave Creek, AZ. Arrangements entrusted to Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home.

Karen, Kerry, Andy,

You are loved and thought of each day.

Sometimes, when I am lying in bed and waiting to drift off to sleep, I will glance out my window and at the stars. It makes me think of Wes. I will cry, but also smile at the thought of him looking down on all of us. He is our guardian angel now.
