Loving husband, father, and grandfather Wes Buchanan passed away on July 19, 2024 at home with family at his side. He married Maureen Haacke in 1972 sharing 52 years of love and laughter. He was a lifelong resident of Salt Lake City and West Valley City Utah. He worked for Young Electric Sign Company for 41 years. He had a love of being with family, friends, golf, camping, family reunions and classic cars. His “one liners” and quick wit will be missed.

As Wes requested there will be no services. Cremation by Larkin Mortuary. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in Wes’ honor to St. Judes Children's Hospital, Shriners Hospital, Wounded Warrior, or Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.

Love you always, you will be forever in our hearts.

“A limb has fallen from the family tree that says grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song, the good life I lived while I was strong.”
