WESLEY HAWLEY Obituary
Wesley William Hawley, 37, of Port Coquitlam, died March 2, 2015 as a result of injuries sustained in a work-related accident. He was an exceptional human being with a great passion for the outdoors and an even greater passion for helping family and friends. He is survived by his wife Michelle Hawley, his son and daughter, William and Tavia, his mother and father, Bryan and Jeanette, his brothers Drew and Dan, and a vast network of other family and friends. Wes was a certified arborist and an entrepreneur who began with a chainsaw and a pick-up truck and grew his business into an extremely successful enterprise. He had an infectious personality which was backed up by a solid respect for people. His easy smile and kindness made him quick friends and as a result, he will be missed by many. He was an incredibly good person that was taken far too soon. If you would like to help the family, there is a donation page set up at http:/ /www.gofundme.com/nwk1a0. There will be an -Adults Only - Celebration of Life at the Meadow Gardens Golf Club in Pitt Meadows on Sunday, March 22, 2015 from 2:00 - 6:00 p.m. Bring your favourite story, picture, or memento of Wesley for the memory box which will be kept for his children.

I am so saddened to hear of Wes' passing and offer my deepest sympathies to his family and friends, most importantly Michelle, William and Tavia. Wes always loved a challenge and I am sure he will not be dissapointed where his journey takes him now. I first met Wes when he was beginning his carreer as an Arborist, he was very bright, hardworking and ambitious (in a good way), a get it done kind of guy. He was also very kind and generous but I mostly remember he made every day fun and full of laughs. He has a lot of joy in his heart and likes to share. Wes is one of the good men and will be sadly missed. Michelle if there is anything that I can do to help please ask.

Bryan and Jeanette - words alone cannot express how sad I felt over the sudden news of your son's passing. I have many fond memories of Wes, Sean, Brent and Kevin playing soccer and hanging out around the house when they were young. Please accept my condolences, hugs and prayers for you and his family.

We had the pleasure of meeting with Wes 3 years ago after Drew referred him to us. He was SO NICE! We had just bought a house with a lot of plants, trees, and flowering shrubs. Wes took the time to (painstakingly) walk me through each living green thing in our yard front and back, explaining what it was, when/if it bloomed, how to care and maintain everything. He chuckled as I frantically tried to take as many notes as possible. He was so friendly, personable, and informative. It was obvious he was very good at what he did. He did some work for us, and we didn't hesitate to recommend him. Our sincere condolences to his wife and children. We are so, so very sorry for your tragic loss.

Our hearts hurt for Michelle, Octavia, William and both sets of parents and siblings. It just is not a fair occurence in life. We are so very sorry. Wes was a great guy and an arborist above the rest.

Although I only met you a few times over the past years, your life was shared through many conversations, stories and pictures while working about seventeen years with your very, proud, loving Mom. I will do what I can to support her in grief of your too early loss.
