Wes was a gruff, soft-hearted man, who left everyone he met with a story. He was passionate about flying airplanes and frequently volunteered with Angel Flight, an organization dedicated to providing transportation for patients receiving cancer therapy. It may sound cliché, but he really would give the shirt off his back for a neighbor in need.
Wes is survived by his wife of 41.99 years, Barbara; his daughter, Natalie (Mike) Provenzale; his son, Chip; and three grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings, Sandy (Bill) Sciba, Cheryl (Mike) Olson, Jim (Donna) Cole, and Chuck (Danna) Cole, and their children and grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, Elsie and Emmett Cole, Jr.
A Celebration of Wes’ life will be held at Northside Baptist Church on Saturday, April 16th, at 1 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to MD Anderson Cancer Center, P. O. Box 4486, Houston, TX 77210-4486 or Promise Pointe, P.O. Box 2293, Victoria, TX 77902. Words of comfort may be shared with the family at www.rosewoodfuneralchapel.com.
