Wesley impressed on our hearts in the very short time we knew him of 3 years being Nancy and Wesley’s neighbor. He loved our 4 children and enjoyed many back porch conversations with them. He enjoyed telling our sons where to find the big lizards and the “coconuts” in his yard, as my 3 year old calls them,  which are really just droppings from a tree. If Wesley was outside, and I’d be carrying something inside,he would always would come offer to help. When he wasn’t feeling so well my son Lincoln could always make him laugh. And you’d hear that laugh and see a sparkle in his eye and that’s when I felt the love he had in his heart for my children. And as a mother, there is no greater feeling than watching your children be loved. Now I can say this because our parents won’t see this, but I felt that love of his for my children even more than I feel with their own blood grandparents. 

Now my husband is not a people person but he loved his Wesley. He had the opportunity to pray over him and ask him to accept Jesus in his heart and Wesley prayed and accepted Jesus in his heart. Now I don’t know if that was a recommitment to the Lord or a new commitment but I can testify to everyone that the next morning Wesley was the happiest kindest, gentlest, healthiest Wesley I’ve ever seen. Something was different and I know it was that prayer and acceptance of Jesus. We enjoyed many laughs together that day. 

 Wesley also  loved my homemade peach cobbler and he couldn’t get enough of it. In fact he maybe didn’t have his traditional 4th of July bbq this year but we were able to spend it with him and share a meal and of course peach cobbler. He probably thought it was me blessing him, but it was the other way around. He blessed our family more than I can express and we look forward to the day where we can sit on the back porch with Wesley again....on Jesus’s back porch.  

I have too many amazing memories to list just one or two, so that must mean Uncle Wes was pretty swell. Aunt Nancy & family, you guys are in our prayers!

Andrea's Uncle Ike will be Uncle Wes' neighbor in rest.

We love you!

I have such fond memories of Mr. Wesley and family in the hills.  They broke the mold when they made him. His witty dry sense of humor always cracked me up and every now and then we could make him chuckle.  My thoughts and prayers are with Nancy, Cindy, Taylor, family and friends.  The news just broke my heart. 

Sympathy, prayers and hugs to you and all your family during these days when your heart is breaking. Love you❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Nancy and Family
