Weston Blatter

1976-2008

             On August 3,2008, we lost a loving, soldier in the battle of life. Weston Blatter, Wes as he was known, was born, October 2, 1976. Wes spent much of his life embracing his love for the

outdoors. Whether he was hunting, fishing, or boating on the lake with his family, he loved to be with all of God's creation. Wes always had a positive attitude, whatever the circumstance, and persevered through the many trials of life. Wes's perseverance carried over to all areas and he excelled at many things. He had an amazing gift of the use of his hands and could fix anything,

that needed repair. Wes would not accept that he could not fix it. He had high expectations for himself and this allowed him to be very, successful in his career and you could count on Wes to get it done. His hard working, attitude was one in which is a rarity in today's business world. Wes cared deeply for his family and friends. You could always count on Wes to be there for you if you needed him. He cared more about the welfare of others than his own self. Wes was a devoted father and took time no matter how limited he was to express his love to his wife and,

their two, young, children. Wes loved hanging out with his brothers, Corey and Jeff, and called his mom and dad daily just to tell them he loved them. Wes was a man who will be missed by many. He leaves behind emptiness in our lives that only he could fulfill.

            Wes is preceded in death by his sister Jeannie, in whom he loved and missed terribly. But now, Wes joins Jeannie, and they are together, free from the pain of life's many heartaches.

            Wes is survived by his father and mother, Harley "Butch" and Judy Blatter, wife, Shanlee Hocevar Blatter, daughter, Madison "Maddi" Blatter, son, Brock Blatter, brothers, Corey Johnson (wife, Ashley, children Avery, Lily, Brooke), Jeff Johnson, (his children, Olivia and Reese), and Jeannie's daughter Tiffany. Wes is also survived by many other loving family members, as well as numerous dear friends.

            A memorial fund has been established for Wes's young children at US Bank, 1645 Grand Ave. Donations can be made in memory of Wes in lieu of flowers.
