Wesley Michael Heath

Wesley Michael Heath, who was dearly loved, passed from this life on January 6, 2023 at the age of 40. Born on October 27, 1982, he was a lifelong resident of Dallas. Wesley graduated from Lutheran High School where he served as Junior Class President, and was a graduate of Southern Methodist University where he pledged Sigma Chi fraternity and earned his Bachelor of Business Administration. Following in the entrepreneurial footsteps of both his mother and his father, his chosen career of real estate culminated in the foundation of his own real estate brokerage firm “Wesley Heath & Associates”. Spanning a decade, he worked to develop close professional and social relationships with clients and colleagues and received many honors, including Broker-Agent Award Winner 2016, Rising Star 2017, and Top 20 Dallas Real Estate Agents of 2019 as ranked by Expertise. Growing up, Wesley was a natural athlete who enjoyed soccer, baseball, dirt bikes, and Tae Kwon Do, but he especially loved tennis, winning the Dallas “Little Mo” tennis tournament in 1991. As he matured, he developed deep passions for music and cooking. When he wasn’t working or playing his acoustic and electric guitars, you could find Wesley in the kitchen expertly prepping and grilling for the whole family! He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
