Wesley H. Bonner

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Wesley Harold Bonner (age 75) at the Oak Ridges Hospice, after a lengthy battle with cancer, on August 11, 2024.  Devoted husband of the late Linda Bonner (nee Wilkinson). Loving father to Jason (Allison) and the late Brent Bonner (Jennifer).  Beloved son of Reta Bonner (nee Ewart) and the late Ralph Bonner.  Predeceased by his sister Karen Whiting (George).  Brother-in-law to Donna and Rock Graham.  Extremely proud grandfather of Benjamin, Jordan, Eric, Lucas, and Sara. He will also be missed by his nieces, nephews, and friends.

Wes was a York Regional Police Officer with over 40 years of service.  He retired in 2009 as a Superintendent and took an immense amount of pride in his job.  He will be missed by his former colleagues, many of whom called him a cherished friend.

A long-time resident of Uxbridge, Wes and Linda raised their two sons there.  He was active in his community playing sports, coaching, and sitting on various committees.  When Wes became a grandfather, his pride and joy were his grandchildren.  Wes spent countless hours at both the baseball diamonds and in hockey arenas cheering them on, knowing no bounds as to where or when he would watch them play.  Even throughout the decline in his health, Wes remained determined to not miss out on spending time with family.  His dedication to them and his community will truly be missed. 

Wes’ last months were spent at the Oak Ridges Hospice in Port Perry where he received exceptional care by the PSW’s, nurses and doctors.  The family is very grateful for the compassion and care they provided to him during this time.

Visitation will be held at Low and Low Funeral Home, 23 Main Street South, Uxbridge on Thursday, August 15 from 2:00 - 4:00 & 6:00 - 8:00 PM.  A funeral service will be held at Low and Low Funeral Home on Friday, August 16, 2024 at 11:00am with visitation at 10:00am.  Reception to follow.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Oak Ridges Hospice in Port Perry or to the Bonner Boys Organization would be appreciated by the family. Memories and words of condolence can be left at www.lowandlow.ca.
