Wesley John Krajca was born April 4, 1980 to Kenneth J. Krajca and Elizabeth A. Moucka Krajca.

During his youth, Wesley served as an Altar Boy at St. John Catholic Church in Ennis. He was active in Boy Scout Troop 203, Circle 10 Bluebonnet District and earned the rank of Eagle Scout.  He graduated from Ennis High School in May 1999.

Wesley enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2000, planning to make that his career. He served two tours of duty in Iraq and one in South Korea. Upon completing  his college degree he went on to graduate from Officer Candidate School in December 2009. He served the remainder of his career at Fort Hood, and purchased a home nearby. He retired as a Captain, long before he wished to retire.

Whenever in Ennis, Wesley was active with VFW Post 7106 , assisting with community projects.  Wesley was soft spoken, but had a way of getting his point across without losing his cool, said his Army buddies. While on deployment, he always shared his care boxes with his unit and many times postponed his R&R so that others could visit with their families.

Wesley is survived by his parents, Kenneth and Elizabeth (Moucka) Krajca; sister Lee Ann Krajca; brother James Krajca; nephew John Young, and his beloved service dog, Biscuit.

A memorial service will be held at The Road Church at 116 W. Ennis Avenue at 1:00 pm, September 28, 2024, followed by a funeral dinner at the VFW at 3100 N I-45 Service Rd, Ennis .
