Wesley was born January 2, 1954 in Kansas City, MO. He began his adventures at two weeks old moving to Waco, Texas with his family. He attended San Jacinto College, and later graduated from the University of Houston with a degree in Engineering. In his
professional career he solved engineering challenges, and in his personal life he found adventure across the continent. He loved his family, his motorcycles and his guns; maybe in that order. He was a good man, hard working, and a man of learning who enjoyed life and helping others when needed.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
