Wesley, our son. We were there when he came into this world, and when he became free of this world.

Talent came natural to him. From the time he was a preschooler, he could play music easily. He started on a toy organ.

He loved his pets dearly. Goldie our little cocker spaniel, was the highchair dog. Eating whatever Wesley dropped. The family German shepherds, Star and Buster, gave to much entertainment and exercise kicking balls in the back field.

When Colonel Mustafa, the family cat passed, he did not want to part with his toys. Then along came Mr. Magic, a stray, he adopted from our neighborhood. He loved Mr. Magic, and wherever Wesley lived, Mr. Magic was his constant companion.

Wesley was a talented artist. He could draw easily. Cartoon type characters were his favorite. Later, graffiti art took his interest.

Fishing was another of his pass times. He learned to love fishing from an early age, going with his father. Later, when he lived close to Oat Hill Lake in Dartmouth, he would often go on his own.

He loved going to the valley to the family trailer at the campground, where he enjoyed playing in campground washer tournaments.

He took guitar and drum lessons, starting on an old secondhand guitar. He had a set of drums in the basement and had a natural knack for playing.

As time went by, he took an interest in turntables, and was known to those who knew him, as “Scratch Master Wes”.

He even did rap at the Marquee in Halifax. He was really into hip hop. He wrote songs and was very in tune to all things artistic.

Wesley liked watching break dancing and would even try it at times.

The love of his life was Nana, who passed away in May 2022. The void of losing her hurt him deeply.

Wesley had plenty of good friends over his lifetime. Many were like family to him.

He was often first to tell a joke and goof around, providing many laughs. He just had a wonderful sense of humor.

Wesley loved everything years gone by. Old comedy was his favorite. The Three Stooges and Buster Keaton were often watched. He was really an old soul.

He worked at the Atlantic Super Store in Dartmouth, as a night stock clerk. He also worked at Home Depot in Dartmouth, where he would operate fork lifts. He also did clerk duties.

Wesley was born in January 1985, at the Halifax Grace Maternity Hospital. He lived in Upper Nine Mile River in East Hants, from age 3 to late teens, when he moved with his family back to Dartmouth, NS.

He left this world much too soon, on April 11, 2025. He contributed to many good memories to those who loved him. He leaves behind his brother Brad, his father Michael Vickers and mother Patricia Conrod, who will always have him in their hearts, with deep love.
