Wesley Boucher Obituary

Dr. Wesley Warren Boucher, affectionately known as "Wes", "Boog", and "Papa", 81, of Pueblo, died peacefully surrounded by his loving family on January 5, 2013. Wes was born and raised in Colorado Springs and graduated from Colorado Springs High School in 1949, and The Colorado College in 1953. He attended the University of Colorado School of Medicine and upon graduation in 1957, joined the U.S.Navy. After leaving the military in 1966, he practiced urology in Colorado Springs for a short time, then settled in Pueblo to continue practicing urology. At one time Wes served as President of the Colorado Medical Society. Wes enjoyed golfing, travel, and cherished time with family and friends. Wes is survived by his devoted wife of 57 years, Sally; his children, Jon (Lou Ann), Michelle (Steven) Gjerde, Paul (Kathy), Brett (Jennifer), Blake, his nine adoring grandchildren, and one great-grandson. He is also survived by his brothers, Gary and Stanley Boucher. Cremation has taken place. A private celebration of his life is being planned. In lieu of food or flowers, please send donations to Pueblo Animal Services at 4600 Eagleridge Circle, Pueblo, CO 81008, in care of his beloved dog Zach.

We enjoyed being at our 60th CSHS class reunion. Life takes us in so many different directions and distances but our memories make it seem like yesterday. God bless and keep your family and friends and enjoy the good memories.

Celebrating a life well lived, Wes was the strongest man we ever knew. His love of life, family, and of course golf will be remembered. His competetive spirit kept him going and going. We are thinking of you and your family. It was an honor to be a friend.

Mary and I just want to express our condolences on the passing of Wes. It's a wonderful legacy when the values a person has in life are demonstratably embraced by his children and grandkids. We've see those values in Michelle, Abby, and Jon Paul. I know Wes meant a lot to Steve and with his passing we lose an individual who can never be replaced. Take care during this difficult time and know that we are thinking of all of you.
