Obituary
Deacon Ulysses Wesley, the son of Augustus Wesley, Sr. and Flossie Solomon Wesley, was born on February 11, 1944. A lifelong resident of Madison, Florida, he was affectionately known as “Boy Wesley”.
Loved ones who preceded him in death were both of his parents, and siblings: Mary Jane Jones, Mack Wesley, Henry Wesley, Samuel Wesley, and Augustus Wesley, Jr.
Deacon Wesley accepted Christ as his Redeemer earlier in his life. As he matured in faith and by grace, his purpose in life became more certain. He was passionate in his love for the Lord which was evident by his faithfulness in many roles he had at church - deacon, finance committee member, choir member, and otherwise filling in wherever he was needed. His familiar hymns of testimony were “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” and “Lord, You Are Holy” and his favorite scripture (2 Chronicles 7: 14) is an important reminder to all. He also used every opportunity to admonish everyone to be true to self and to “Be what you are.”
Deacon Wesley was a dedicated employee who gave his best at whatever he attempted. His career jobs were at Madison House (factory) and Watkins Engineering & Construction Company, prior to his retirement from Dixie Packers meat processing plant. He then used his time and talent as his opportunity to repair vehicles. He had the mechanic’s ear to hear and diagnose and the God-given ability to correct the problem or to advise them of rack costs to expect at the auto shop. This was his way of giving back to the community and to responsibly help others.
