Wesley Nabata Obituary
Wesley Nobukazu Nabata age 62, passed away at University Hospital of Northern BC on November 24, 2020 after being diagnosed recently with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
Wesley was predeceased by his father Nobby, mother Kay and youngest brother Tad. He is survived by his sister Elaine and brothers Glenn and Casey. He leaves nieces Emily, Sara, Isabel, Kylie, Miko, Lyndsey and nephew Scott. Wesley was fortunate to have good friends, Jeff and Patti McDonald who were like family to him. He will be missed by family and friends in Kamloops.
Wesley was born in Kamloops, the first of four boys. He graduated from Kamloops Secondary School and took over the management of Nabata Brothers Gulf when the brothers retired. Wesley was always good with his hands and enjoyed working as a mechanic. He was very adept at figuring out how things worked and could take apart and put back together almost anything. Wesley eventually ended up in Prince George working in logging camps as a heavy duty mechanic. Later he worked as a blast driller until his retirement.
Wesley enjoyed the outdoors. He loved fishing and snowmobiling with his friends. He chose to live on a rural property with lots of outdoor maintenance.
According to his wishes, cremation has taken place. A gathering of friends and family will be arranged in the future.

We enjoyed Wes’s company on the many occasions he came to visit and stay with us in Kamloops years ago. Always cheerful and kind, Wes made the time to get to know my kids, and they truly appreciated his patience, sense of humour and kindness. My condolences to the family.

I am very sorry to hear about Wesley. Years ago we were a few doors down on Columbia St.
My sincere condolences to your family.
