John Wesley May was born in Rupert, Idaho on October 15, 1936. He was the oldest son of John Alden and Marba Peart May. He grew up in Idaho and had many great adventures on their farm as a boy.

Wesley served in many church callings: Assistant High Priest Group Leader, Stake Mission Leader (with Flora), and served as a devoted temple worker for 8 years. Outside of the church, he always worked hard and retired March 31, 1986 from Mountain Bell (Qwest) where he worked as a frame-man to connect phone lines for customers so they could stay in touch with their loved ones. He had a love for talking with everyone and sharing his wealth of life experiences. He never met anyone he didn’t like. He was nicknamed the Mister Rogers of the neighborhood because he enjoyed walking and visiting with all of his neighbors and friends. To him, everyone was family. He was a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather and will be missed dearly. Funeral services will be held: August 2nd, 10am 895 W 4800 S Taylorsville, UT 84123
