Juan Wester Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
His patients will remember him as a compassionate provider. His colleagues will remember him for his steady hands and expert skill. All who met him will remember his humor as he was always ready with a joke and a smile. He was a wordsmith, ready to toast any occasion and always working on the daily crossword with his operating room staff. He was an ardent fan of football and futbol - cheering on the Dolphins, Hurricanes, Argentina, and Denmark. His proudest moment was obtaining his U.S. citizenship and eclipsed only by births of his son John (Brenda); his daughter Stephanie (Nathan); and his two granddaughters, Jordana (Thomas) and Kayla. He is survived by his devoted partner and love, Dolores "Lola" Zima and her two daughters Julie and Vicki. Extended family and abiding friendships include Blossom, Terry, Connor, Dan, Samantha, Jack, the Tobins, the Salcedos, the Sayfies, and the Asseffs.
Dr. Juan Wester left us on July 20, 2024. His presence will be sorely missed by all. Please join us for a service and share memories in his honor at Landmark Funeral Home, 4200 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, Florida on August 10, 2024 at 2:00pm.

Dr. Wester and Jordana were wonderful people and I loved them for all the friendliness and love they spread in their home. They would share everything with anyone in their home. I was older than John John (as we called him then) and Stephanie so my interactions were mainly with their parents, which was kind of weird since I was a child but as I said they were always welcoming to all who entered their home and treated them like family. The last time I saw him was at memorial hospital when my daughter, then 3 now 45, was having surgery and he spent time with us there when he didn't have to, but that was the type of person he was. Always friendly and happy to see you! Love you!

It was with encouragement from this kind and truly amazing physician that I pursued a career in nursing. He set example of excellence that all who knew him strived to follow. Thank you Dr Wester.

Dr. Juan Wester was more than just a surgeon; he was a beacon of skill and compassion. His expertise saved many lives, and his kindness touched the hearts of all who knew him. For my family and me, his care went beyond the operating room, making us feel valued and understood. Dr. Wester's legacy is not just in the surgeries he performed but in the countless lives he bettered with his gentle touch and unwavering dedication. He will be deeply missed but always remembered.
