Wesley James Pascale

Wesley James Pascale of Shoshone, Idaho, age 79, passed away on Oct. 7, 2023. Wes was born Aug. 5, 1944, in Douglas, Wyoming. Wes graduated from James Monroe High School in San Fernando Valley, California. After high school, he attended Pierce College in Woodland Hills, California.

Wes was a longtime real estate broker in Southern and Central California. He also built homes and managed property in Oak Shores, a lakeside community in Central California. He later moved to Shoshone, Idaho, and developed and built a vast bird hunting ranch, the Ringneck Ranch in north Shoshone.

After retirement, he was active in the Golden Years Senior Center in Shoshone, serving meals to seniors throughout the area. He also took on the role of volunteer “cat friend” in Shoshone, working with  Mountain Humane of Hailey to neuter the area’s stray cats and befriend and care for their kittens.

Some of Wes’ hobbies included trout fishing, hunting, nature photography and watching old Westerns with a box or two of Cheez-its at hand.

Wes is survived by his two former wives, Phyllis Pascale and Becky Weiss; four children, Davin Pascale, Dana Brazelton-Topel, Phillip Adams and Neil Pascale; and four grandchildren, Anthony Adams, Phillip Adams, Katy Pascale and Noah Pascale.

The family would like to give a special Thank You to the staff of Visions Hospice of Twin Falls, the staff of Bridgeview Estates, Dr. Dan Preucil of St Luke’s Hospital, and the people and community of Shoshone. What a blessing you were for our father.

The family is planning a private memorial at a later date. In lieu of gifts or tributes, the family asks that donations be made in Wes’ memory to either Golden Years Senior Center in Shoshone, PO Box 399, Shoshone, ID, 83352, and/or to Mountain Humane, PO Box 1496, Hailey, Idaho, 83333, or mountainhumane.org/donate.
