Wesley Sharpe Obituary

NEWPORT NEWS - Our beloved Wesley Sharpe, 54, the man, the myth, the legend, "Doc Wesley" has left his journey in this life. His kind and calming spirit will remain with us while he moves on to a place where he will be surrounded by family, friends and nothing but love. He was a native of Hampton and a lifelong peninsula resident. He worked for Day & Zimmerman, as a nuclear machinist. He enjoyed the simple things in life but nothing more than his family, friends and of course his shovelhead. He was a brilliant man. There wasn't anything he couldn't build or fix, he loved hanging out at the shop and shootin' the breeze. Known for his loyalty & passion for life, he would give the shirt off his back, he was our go-to-man, our voice of reason, our Rock. He will be truly missed - What an Understatement! He is survived by his wife Lisa Sharpe of Hampton, daughter Abby Bunting (Beau), son Dylan Sharpe and his grandson Rex Wayne "Bubba Louie" Sharpe. His family also includes three brothers, Bill Sharpe (Kathy), Jason Sharpe (Sherrie), Brian Sharpe (Laura) and a sister Shannon Harlow. He was preceded in death by his parents John and Jewell Sharpe of Hampton and his brother-in-law Kevin Harlow. A celebration of life for Wesley will be held on Saturday, July 1, 2017. The family asks that everyone assemble at Amory Funeral Home at 3:00 PM for a memorial ride, where we will mix some of his ashes with CAM2 and run him through that shovelhead one more time to the family's home at 51 Wood's Lane Hampton VA. In lieu of flowers, Wesley's wish was for Rex Wayne to go to private school. Donations may be made to his education fund at Langley Federal Credit Union, P.O. Box 120128, Newport News, VA 23612 or

Enough memories to fill a library, and still wishing for more. But even more than that, an infinity of love. We hold you in our hearts,a truly GOOD man who knew in the deepest core of his soul how to be a true friend. We are immensely grateful that you found us worthy of so great a friendship. The grief will drift away in time, the love will only become deeper and richer.

Wesley was the best road partner ever...I'm so glad he started out on the nukes with me!!! I'll be tellin' the stories from those days the rest of my life. We started pullin' wrenches back in Jr. High, and I never stoped learning something new. Ride on, my brother. Pete

Well Wes, you've finished this life's journey, the Good Lord must have a Harley he can't get running. If people only knew some of the mess we all got into growing up in the BIG WOODS.I know we all went our separate ways and we only saw each other from time to time I will miss you. I don't think you ever met a stranger and I know you'll be the same on this next journey.
BE SAFE,LOVE YA MY FRIEND

Doc Wesley, we are devastated, just one last goodbye is all we wanted, we had so many more good times in store for us, our hearts are broken, no more "Hey Ms. Patty!" or "Whats KICKIN'?!" Johnny has lost his best friend & misses him dearly, his heart is broken, as mine is, only memories to hold dear to our heart, for me it began with shopping cart races at Newmarket South, Joe's (Cho's) Place, that flatbed he use to cruise the beach in at Yorktown, then we became the riding crew, partners in crime, Panhead & Shovelhead, Hoss's, Dawson's, The Cactus, Ahn's, Myrtle Beach Bike Rally, Slade's Dirt Drags, so many to think of! We hold his family close to our heart, as we always have, Lisa, Abbey, Dylan & little Rex we will always be there for you & will try to guide you & help you the best we can, it is just so surreal, we miss you our dear friend.
