When I came to stay with my grandma Mary Snow for a year…Wes lived down the street from grandma and I will never forget how he took me in as if I was a member of his family…he was truly a wonderful human being inside and out….loved him very much!
Uncle Wes has always been an encourager and made you feel like a special friend to him and Aunt Pam. He was always full of compliments. These words were so encouraging at just the right time, at times. I appreciate his boldness in witness and faith in Jesus Christ, which he was always willing to share about!
Your kindness and positive words to family will be greatly missed. I am so very grateful for our hope in the eternal glory of the Lord and that we will see you in heaven!!! Sending our love to Aunt Pam and all the family.

My dad, Jesse Reed and Wes, were in the Navy together back in 1959 and have been best friends ever since. Uncle Wes was always on our list of family to see whenever we made it back to Kansas and we always had tostadas! He always made them better than anyone else! You will be missed, Uncle Wes!
Love, Tina and Craig and family
I am so very sorry to hear this! I worked with Wes at F & E about thirty years ago and have many fond memories of him and those days! Yours, Always, —-jeff baker
Wes was my favorite neighbor, he always had a smile on his face . I would always borrow his yard tools and get advice on our pool . When I would go outside to do yard work , he would be outside doing his own and I look forward to visiting him while we did yard work . I was sad the day we moved from my favorite neighbor. My daughter Jessica became his new neighbor and he treated he her just like family . Wes is definitely a one of a kind guy and there will never be another Wes . You will be missed Wes , I love you 💙
