Wesley Handsel Obituary
He married Dorothy in 1947 and they lived in Austin, Texas where they started and raised their family. In 1981, they moved to Florence, Texas so they could enjoy the country life. In 2014, 14 years after Dorothy's death, Wesley moved to Buda, Texas to spend his final years closer to family.

He is survived by his daughter Susan Taylor and his son Wesley Handsel Jr., 9 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren, and 3 great, great grandchildren.
He will truly be missed by his family and friends. He was a hard worker and would do anything for anyone who needed a little extra help. He was a man of God and taught everyone daily what kindness looked like. His love will continue to live through the many lives he touched.
