I had the honor of coaching Wes when he was 13 and also getting to know Mike who helped us out at games & practices whenever he could. I am very sad they are gone. Those are some very fond memories for me.
My family and I send our heartfelt prayers and condolences to Marianne and family.

I didn’t know him personally but I know people who were close with him. I was a grade under him. He always brought so much joy into peoples lives. Everyone at school will remember him as the nice kid. That’s at least what I thought when I seen his picture. I thought it can’t be, I went to school with him and he was a great guy. I hope my words bring comfort that he is remembered by people who weren’t close to him because he was a great guy.
