Wesley Bellamy Obituary


WESLEY HOWARD BELLAMY
March 7, 1949 ˜ August 22, 2020

Wesley H. Bellamy passed away Aug. 22, 2020 with his family by his side. He was born to Clifford and Esther Bellamy of Vancouver, WA on March 7, 1949.
Wes was an avid outdoorsman who loved working with his hands and could fix just about anything. His famous line being “you can fix that,” even if you didn’t really want to.
Wes “Butch” Bellamy was an amazing father, husband, brother, grandfather, uncle and friend. Hands down one of “The Greats,” forever remembered by his steady character, devotion to family, willingness to jump in to lend a helping hand, all provided with a little teasing and mischief.
Wes is survived by his wife of 49 years, Barbara Bellamy; daughters, Anna West and Kelly Leverich; son, Joshua Bellamy; grandchildren, Kyle and Jenna Leverich; and sister, Helen Boldt.

Just came across this notice, so sad to see. I enjoyed bowling with Wes and the crew in the old Ten Grand league for many years at Timber lanes in Vancouver on Monday nights. I was the young kid back then. Always enjoyed Wes's sense of humor, yes sometimes a little warped but fun....miss his smiling face....

I will always remember Wes as a real character, with a big heart and an easy and contagious smile. One of the kindest people I have ever met.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Wes was more than a brother in law to me. He was my brother, my friend, one of my rescuers and biggest supporters. He was the perfect husband for my sister and a best friend and mentor to my brother. I will forever miss him and will cherish 50 years of memories. I love you Wes!
