Wesley Owen Grosdidier, age 85, passed away at home in Garnett, Kansas on Thursday, July 27, 2023.

Wesley was born on June 25, 1938 in Centerville, Kansas at the "Ole Katie Place." He was the middle of three children born to Owen Grosdidier and Frances (Brown) Grosdidier. Wesley grew up in Centerville and Blue Mound and attended Garnett High School. Following high school, he joined the Navy in 1956 and served for four years, 8 months of which were on the USS Hancock. Wesley married Donna Worthington in 1962, and together they were blessed with one daughter, Brenda, and one son, Linnie. In later years, Wesley was blessed with more children.

Wesley worked hard and played hard. He enjoyed coon hunting, fishing, traveling, and the great outdoors. He put many titles on his hounds, along with winning many trophies and awards. Trucking allowed him to see the country, and he made many friends along the way. He was also an avid fisherman catching many large flatheads. His hotspots included Askins Ford and the North Lake. He could often be found hunting and fishing with family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his oldest sister Marvelle and husband Delbert Harris; and his nephew Darrel Harris.

He is survived by his children, Brenda Osler and Linnie Grosdidier (Connie); four grandchildren Justin (Amber), Hannah (Justin), Misti, and Britnee; nine great-grandchildren, Trent, Haylee, Gunner, Johnjon, Jlinn, Augustus, Gatlin, Mayia, and Braxton; his sister Marlene and husband Steve Walburn; many nieces and nephews; and numerous friends and good buddies.
