Wesley Farrel Hobbs, lovingly known as "My Love," Daddy, PawPaw, Wes, or Brother, was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend who passed away on October 22, 2026, at the age of 62. Born on August 6, 1964, in Houston, Texas, Wesley lived a life filled with faith, family, friendship, laughter, and a love for the great outdoors. He was a devoted husband to the love of his life, Tina Marie Hobbs, and together they would have celebrated 23 wonderful years of marriage in April 2027. They built a life full of love, adventure, friendships, and countless memories that will forever be cherished.

Wesley spent his entire life happiest when he was outdoors, preferably with the sun shining on his face and a fishing pole in his hand. Some of his greatest friendships were formed on the water, alongside his Entergy brothers, daughters, son, sons-in-law, and lifelong fishing partners. Although Wesley loved fishing, hunting, and just about anything that involved being outdoors, the best part was never really the hunt or the catch. It was everything that came afterward. The gathering around a campfire, the cold beer in hand, the stories that grew a little taller with every telling, and the laughter that carried late into the night. Those were the moments Wesley lived for, and the memories his loved ones will cherish most.

Wesley dedicated 37 years of his life to Entergy, traveling wherever the job called him, from Texas to Louisiana to Mississippi and back to Texas. He was a hardworking man who took pride in his profession, but the greatest treasures he gained over those years were the friendships that grew into brotherhoods. The men and women he worked beside became lifelong friends.

He was the Daddy of all Daddies. The kind of dad who showed up, who taught you how to navigate the world, who told you what you needed to hear even when you didn't want to hear it, and who could make everything feel a little better with a single phone call.

To his nine grandchildren, Wesley was their beloved PawPaw, a title he wore with tremendous pride. He passed along his love for fishing, hunting, sports, and adventure, but more importantly, he gave them traditions and memories they will carry for the rest of their lives.

To some, he was Wes. To others, Wesley. To the children who grew up around him, he was Mr. Wesley. To his children, he was Daddy, and to his grandchildren, PawPaw. No matter what name you knew him by, he was a man who loved deeply, worked hard, spoke his mind, and would do just about anything for the people he cared about.

Above all, Wesley was a man of deep faith who shared a close and personal relationship with the Lord.

Wesley is survived by his beloved wife, Tina Marie Hobbs, his loving mother, Doris Hobbs and his four children, Megan Caldwell and husband Greg, with their children, Colt, Remington, and Ruger. Bradley Burke with his son, Readan. Jessie Rodgers and husband Grant, with their children, Avery and Eastynn. And Ashley Schneider with her children, Xander, Mason, and Zayn.

He is also survived by his brothers, Harold Hobbs Jr. and Mike Hobbs, with his wife Anita; his beloved in-laws, Jim and Dot Wright; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, lifelong friends, Entergy brothers, and fishing partners.

Wesley was preceded in death by his father, Harold Hobbs Sr., and his brother, Darryl Hobbs
