Wesley Marion Stamp

Born December 1, 1939 in McPherson, Kansas, went to our Lord January 2, 2025. Wes grew up in Rawlins, Wyoming. He is preceded in death by his parents Clarence and Dorothy Stamp, his only sibling Charlene Norris, son David Clarence Stamp, grandson Eian Charles Stamp. He lived a life of Faith, Hope and Love. He led his family in the Christian Path with great patience, a patience learned with mistakes, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

Wes is survived by his wife of 64 years, Margie, sons Charles and Ken (Debbie) and daughter Jennifer, grandchildren Vincent Stamp, Erin Stowell (Brandon) and Mitchell Stamp and many nieces and nephews.

Wes spent much of his youth exploring the mountains of Snowy Range and fishing in the streams around Ryan Park, Wyoming where he also helped build the family log cabin. Wes always had a special place in his heart for Wyoming.

Wes joined the Navy and while at the Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi, Texas he met his best friend and love of his life Mary Margaret (Margie) Malish. They married June 27, 1960 in Corpus Christi. Upon completing Navy service they moved to Seattle, Washington. The young family moved to Longmont, Colorado in September 1965, where they built their life.

Wes found his career with Ball Brothers Research Corporation in Boulder, Colorado in 1969 and retired after 35+ years with Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.

Wes was active in their parish of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church where he was a lector for many years and served on the Parish Council as well as facilitating in Marriage Preparation for engaged couples. Wes and Margie made their Marriage Encounter weekend in 1975 and over the next 10 years were part of countless weekends helping other couples build strong, lasting relationships. They enjoyed many activities together but most especially dancing.

Wes was an accomplished wood worker and learned construction where he spent countless hours updating their home in Longmont and at their mountain home creating a place aptly called “heavens back door” spending as much time as possible there, bringing them and the family peace and quiet.

He was a wonderful husband, father and friend and will be greatly missed. We will meet again in Heaven.
