Wesley Allen Holmes

Wesley Allen Holmes, 52, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 23, 2021. He was born July 7, 1969 in Columbus, Ohio. He was a proud member and graduate of the Grove City High School Class of 1988. A lifelong resident of Grove City, Wes loved his hometown. He was a devoted employee of the City of Grove City Service Department with 28 years of service to his community. Wes's greatest love and his pride and joy was his son, Reece. His steadfast and selfless commitment to his son took them throughout the Midwest together as Reece collected multiple championships in trap shooting with his biggest fan by his side. His support and love for his son was unparalleled. As a trap shooter himself, Wes was also a loyal member of the Hilltop Sportsman's Club and a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help church. He was the subject of the community wide campaign #45STRONG! which is symbolic of his standout performance wearing #45 for the GC Greyhounds football team.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Clyde and Dorothy (Ranke) Holmes and maternal grandparents, Gilbert and Mildred (Gallagher) Robey.

Wes is survived by his beloved son, Reece Holmes; parents Harvey and Patricia (Robey) Holmes; several cousins, aunts, uncles, and countless close friends. A Tribute and Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, December 12, 2021 from 3 P.M. to 8 P.M. at the Elks Lodge located at 2140 Sonora Drive, Grove City, OH.
