Wesley Eugene Key

Wesley Eugene Key, age 63 of Knoxville, TN, went to be with the Lord on July 19, 2017 and is now gloriously singing with the angels. Wesley always met you with a smile on his face and a joke to make you laugh. He enjoyed fishing, hunting and camping with his family. He loved to travel to the Outer Banks of NC and driving his Dodge pick-up truck. Wesley loved all animals, but had a special place in his heart for his beloved Miracle. He was an AMAZING singer, an inspiring choir leader and talented guitar and auto harp player. Wesley was a proud member of Holston High School class of 1971 and a graduate of Tennessee Institute of Electronics. He was an employee of White Stores for 22 years and retired from Phoenix Conversions after 20 years of service as their “Solutions Engineer”. In his younger years, Wesley attended New Beverly Baptist Church, where he was saved at the age of 9. He is now a devoted member of Son Light Baptist Church. Wesley is preceded in death by his dad, Eugene Key, his mom, Nellie Humphrey Key, his infant brother Wayne Key and special grandma Annie Varner Humphrey. Wesley loved his family with all his heart and leaves behind his devoted wife of 44 years, Phyllis Cowden Key, daughter Laura Key, son Matthew Key, daughter Sarah Key, beloved brother David Key and wife LeAnne, sister in law, Debbie and Pat Thompson, brother in law, Eddie and Lisa Cowden, brother in law, Jeff Cowden, special niece Tammy Keck and several much-loved cousins, nephews, nieces and friends. We will all miss him very much. Visitation will be held 5-7pm, with service to follow, on Monday, July 24, 2017 at Son Light Baptist Church 6494 Son Light Way, Knoxville, TN 37918 .
