VERNON HEDGES Obituary

Vernon Victor Hedges, Jr. Sept 4, 1962 - June 1, 2012 Resident of San Pablo Vernon Hedges, Jr. left this world peacefully with his family at his side on June 1st in San Pablo, California. He was a beloved uncle, son, friend and brother. He will be extremely missed but we are comforted in knowing he is reunited with his much loved mother and father in eternity. Vernon was the only son to Vernon and Pat Hedges in San Pablo, California and is survived by four sisters, Tarry Conrad, Sally Cieslak, Ginny Barron, Cindy Hegenauer, many nieces and nephews, cousins, and aunts and uncles. Vernon was a very funny and positive person that loved to make people laugh. He was always there when a friend needed a helping hand and loved his family very much. He was an avid sports fan but loved the Oakland A's and Oakland Raiders the most. A memorial service and celebration of his life will be held on at Smith and Witter Funeral Home, 5145 Sobrante Avenue, El Sobrante, Ca (510) 758-5466 at 6:00 pm, June 22nd.

Vernon, I always felt sorry for the fact that you had to grow up with all of us sisters. How did you ever deal with us? You always made people so happy around you and this picture depicts the real you. I will see you again and cannot wait to give you a giant hug! I will miss you a lot until that day comes. I love you, Sally

Vernon -- You were a huge part of my life and Curt's life growing up. We had fun building many forts in the backyards and partying! Everyone loved you -- especially the kids. I don't think you had one mean bone in your body. See you in Heaven! Love, Kelly
