WESLEY JAMES BIG GEORGE JR. (CHEESIE)
Aged 19
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden loss of our son, brother, nephew, grandson and friends Wesley James Big George Jr., on Saturday, April 12, 2003. Wesley (Cheesie) was born on November 11, 1984 in Rainy River, ON.
He is survived by his father Wesley St., mother Gloria, stepmother Amy, two brothers; Vinny and Ryan; four sisters Charity, Alexandra, Kelly and Alia; grandparents Agnes, Stella, and Gary, Jocelyn and baby, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and girlfriend Kesha, who all loved him deeply.
Wesley Jr. (Cheesie) was greatly loved and well liked by all of his family and friends. Naongashiing was his home his entire life. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fishing with his friends and family. In the winter, he loved being outdoors, riding on his snow machines and ice fishing with family and friends. A large part of his time was spent on the lake year around. He learned his way around the lake at a very young age and he had a lot of happy times out there. Wesley was also a very good hockey player, having played since he was a young boy. There was no question that when there was a hockey game or tournament going on that everyone wanted him to be part of the team.
One of the most endearing things about Wes Jr. was his friendly outgoing personality. He was very popular with all of his family and friends and was always willing to help out with any work that needed to be done. He loved to laugh, joke around and have fun with everyone around him. Most of all, he had a kind, loving heart and he deeply loved all of his family. Wesley Jr. (Cheesie) will be greatly missed by all.
