Westly Joe Cuatt Obituary

Wes

Nothing but good memories of having worked with you many years ago on the Sheriff's Dept. Happy times off duty as well. I always thought you were too
nice a guy to do that kind of work (Police), but you did it with a smile and a
good sense of humor that was always needed. Also a gentleness that was
rare in Law Enforcement and yet through it all, you remained strong and
determined to make it work.
I'll miss you and your quiet ways.

God Bless and keep you until we meet again.

It is with a heavy heart that I heard the news of the passing of our former Seidokan Aikido practitioner and friend, Westly Joe Wes Cuatt. I heard the news via the Internet on the mid-afternoon of January 28, 2020, from a friend of mine. I had known Wes for approximately 25 years, and often trained with him in the Seidokan Aikido, Seiwa Dojo, Battle Creek, MI. Wes and I

It is with a heavy heart that I heard the news of the passing of our former Seidokan Aikido practitioner and friend, Westly Joe Wes Cuatt. I heard the news via the Internet on the mid-afternoon of January 28, 2020, from a friend of mine. I had known Wes for approximately 25 years, and often trained with him in the Seidokan Aikido, Seiwa Dojo, Battle Creek, MI. Wes and I learned from each other the intricacies of Seidokan Aikido by constant practice and patiently helping each other better understand the art.
Wes was a Deputy Sheriff with the Calhoun County Sheriffs Office for over 30 years, where he worked as a K-9 officer as well as in the area of computer investigations and computer forensics as a Cyber Crimes Officer. Wes had a great love for his German Shepherd K-9 partner Drak, and even had a likeness of Drak tattooed on his body. Wes had a passion regarding fair play and for doing the right thing, and his work in law enforcement provided an outlet for that ideal.
Wes had a good sense of humor and enjoyed funny stories and minor practical jokes. I knew Wes enjoyed hunting and fishing and just being outdoors enjoying nature during all seasons, as it was common for him to mention such facts.
Wes leaves many friends as well as family members in his wake and will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Wes will be truly missed. A true dog guy that paved the way for the rest of us. Rest in peace Wes, well take it from here.

Speechless prayers and strength for all
