Wesley Sutton Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 31, 2024.
Wesley Dean Sutton, age 68, of Battle Ground, Washington, passed away peacefully with his wife by his side on July 26, 2024 following a brief battle with cancer.

Wes was born in Pico Rivera, CA on March 12, 1956 to Carl and Eva Sutton. He graduated from Bishop Amat High School and later attended the University of San Diego, where he met his wife, Carla.

Wes and Carla were married in 1978, welcomed two children, Ryan and Carey, then moved to Battle Ground, Washington in 1983. Wes spent many years working as a custodian for the Battle Ground School District, retiring in 2010 when his first grandchild was born. Wes enjoyed coaching little league and camping with family and friends in his younger years. After retirement, he was passionate about caring for his four adoring grandchildren and was the most loyal and avid attendee of their sports and school events. He also loved music and travel, and frequently reminisced about his trip to Italy with his family.

Wes was preceded in death by his father, Carl Sutton and mother, Eva Ardelean. He is survived by his wife, Carla; his brother, Eldon Lewis; his sister, Cheryl Flack (Jerry); his son, Ryan Sutton (Alix); his daughter, Carey Nolan (Chadd); his grandsons, Jackson Nolan, Tucker Sutton, Henry Sutton; his granddaughter, Ella Nolan; and numerous nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Sutton home on the afternoon of Saturday, August 10th in Battle Ground, WA. Friends of Wes are invited to attend from 2 - 6 pm.

I will always remember my uncle Wes as the guy cracking jokes, never serious. Always making everyone laugh.
I´ll never forget his laugh and how contagious it was. He will be mused very much but those memories will stay with me forever.

Being my brother we spent a lot of special moments. One really sticks out. Summer of 1977. Sitting down at hunting beach enjoying the sun, sand , surf and a cold beer , just the two of us. I am going to miss my brother. No matter what , he was always there when I needed him
