Wesley Lofties Obituary

Wesley Lee Lofties

Dec 24, 1948 - May 20, 2025

Sandusky

Wesley Lee Lofties, 76, Sandusky, passed Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 1 p.m. Our family said goodbye to a warrior of faith, Wesley Lee Lofties, the firstborn of Walker and Juanita Lofties, who passed just eight months apart in 1979. He was born in Sandusky, December 24, 1948.

As the eldest sibling, Wesley was a pillar of quiet strength, never complaining, even through years of being bedridden. His endurance was a testament to God's grace, teaching us all lessons in patience, resilience, and unwavering trust in the Lord.

He leaves behind his devoted siblings, Floyd (Leslene), Bonita, Othel (Marseille), and Curtis (Sheri), whom all stood by him with tireless love.

He was preceded in death by his brother, George "Mike."

Though our hearts ache, we find peace in knowing that Wesley is finally free, wrapped in the arms of our Lord and Savior, JESUS CHRIST! As the Scripture says, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." In these trying times, we lean on the same God who strengthened Wesley, trusting that His love will carry us forward. Rest now, brother; your fight is over; receive your crown! Your legacy of faith will live on in all of us.

Great thanks to Bella Care Hospice and Crocker Pointe in Westlake for the care and kindness they showed during his time of need. And to Providence Care Center, where he called his home for many years.

Visitation for friends and family will be from 11 a.m. until time of funeral services at noon Thursday, May 29, 2025, at Ebenezer Baptist Church, 1215 Pierce St., Sandusky. The eulogy will be by Wesley's brother, Othel Lofties. Burial to follow at Meadow Green Memorial Park, Huron, where he will be laid to rest next to his parents.

Toft Funeral Home & Crematory, 2001 Columbus Ave., Sandusky, is handling the arrangements.

Please accept our condolences on the passing of Wesley. Whenever we visited our mom in Providence Care Center on Cedarview for a good many years, we saw Wes, and he was always a bright light with a kind smile. Sending you all prayers for comfort and peace. It was good to know him.

I'm sorry for your loss. Wesley was such a kind man. He enjoyed watching religious shows with music on TV and sporting events. He would often smile and nod when I would ask him questions regarding his care and if he would like a different show on, more blankets, his blind open, or other things. He was very patient and will be missed. Respiratory therapist at Twilight
