It is with great sadness that the family of Wesley Connor McEuen announce his sudden passing on February 5, 2023, at the age of 20.
Wesley Connor McEuen was born in Mesa, Arizona, on February 25, 2002, where he lived until his family moved to Safford. He attended Safford elementary schools and graduated in 2020 from Thatcher High School. He attended Eastern Arizona College for two years, majoring in graphic design.
Wesley worked in retail, until recently beginning a new job at Freeport McMoran in Safford as a haul truck driver. His greatest aspiration for a future career was to train to be a welder. Wesley had a variety of interests and hobbies including cooking, listening to all types of music, shopping, spending time in Phoenix with his cousins, family trips to Alaska, Mexico and Alpine. He was a talented artist and spent hours making intricate drawings both on paper and on the computer.
