Wesley Ryan Anderson

Never forgotten ♥

WESLEY Ryan Anderson, We Love and miss you soon very much! You are now in heaven with my nephew G.T. I will always remember the time that we went to Lagoon together. You have a beautiful Eternal Wife Paige and two beautiful little girls, named Ivie Jean Rener and Elle Rener. We Love Mike too! Mike is a great husband to Paige and a great Father to his girls! God be with you till we meet again. Sincerely, Marti R. Hathaway

Wes~
I miss you so much. You are an incredible brother and best friend. I love you so much and I know you are taking care of business on the other side. I can't wait until our family is together once again. I love you WEBSTER. =)

Hello Anderson Family and I am sorry to connect again on such solemn news. I heard this weekend from Marian (Fusano) Sheldon of Wes's passing and that also of Wes's grandmother, Sue Zepazauer earlier this year. The loss of so young a man, and just coming into is own is hard to understand - especially for one of little faith such as I. My thoughts are with you all in this difficult time and I hope with the help of your beliefs you will eventually be able to thank God for all of the blessings bestowed on you and feel some solace knowing Wes is "at home". Tori, I hope you will extend my personal sypathies to my good school friends and classmates Annette and Richard. Annette, I'm adding a special prayer for your Mom. I know you and your family gave her much pleasure and pride.

Getting to know the Anderson children, I came to recognize Wes relatively quickly.

He was always described by his Aunt Jill as the "big tough football player who also likes fancy cheeses, bakes pies, and can knit like no ones business."

Wes seemed to thrive on this seeming irony; it was another demonstration of his fearlessness.

His creativity and unabashed love for so many interesting thing in life is one of many reasons why he'll be so sorely missed.

Thanks for the memories Wes and for the example you have been to my family over the years. If I get to be with you again I'll know I have made it to the right place! Your honesty, integrity, values, service to others and love of your fellow man showed your devotion to the Savior and what he taught. No wonder so many people were attracted to you. Thankyou for leaving such beautiful footprints on this earth for all of us to follow. You tackled all of life's challenges and problems and a few unfortunate quarterbacks. You have earned a little rest but we all know better!
Our temporary loss is of course heavens gain. God be with you and us until we meet again.

Dear Paige,Annette, Richard & Ethel, Anderson Family. We love you dearly and your sweet husband and son, who is so very special and is with his Heavenly Father now and will be with you all again.Your family is in our prayers. We love you all very much. Love, Frank & Andrea Balena and Family. Saugus, Ca.

I would like to personally thank all of you who have prayed for us and who have been there for us. You are all amazing people and I know the Lord will bless you all. Wes will be missed by all of us, but I know we will be together again. Thanks again to all of you.

Dear Richard & Annette-
I received an email this morning from my cousin, RoseAnn, telling me of your sons passing. I am so, so sorry for your loss. He was much too young. Having lost a child of my own, and it also being during the holiday season, I can truely say that I know how you are feeling. May God be with all of you, and may he comfort you now and always.
Annette, I am not sure if you still live in Acton or not. Please contact me.
Love, Pink

Sweet Paige, my heart goes out to you and your loved ones. May you find comfort in Heavenly Father and His plan. I did not have a chance to meet your husband, but please accept my condolences.
We all love you and are here for you. Please let us know if there is anything you need.
Love and hugs,
Tatiana Allen-Blockston ( JT, Bianca and Michael)

I am still so emotional about this I can't write much. Wes was a friend and felt like part of the family Rachel and Andrew have become. Wes, thank you for letting us be part of your life. We love you.

Thanks to all of you for remembering the Wes we know and love. Your comments are appreciated and reflected upon often!! Thanks again!

Dear Paige,
I love you so much. You are such an amazing person. I'm so sorry about Wes. But just know he's going to be watching over you. You both were just the perfect couple. If you need anything, and I mean ANYTHING please let Ryan and I know. Wes meant a lot to us and so do you. I enjoyed visiting Utah and seeing your home that you built with Wes! And thank you so much for allowing us to stay there. I love you and you'll always be in my prayers Paige.

Dear Wesley,
I will always remember the time I met you for the first time. Meeting Ryan online and meeting him at Denny's with you for the first time. Ryan and I couldn't even talk because everyone would look, so you decided to ride with my friends so Ryan and I can have time alone. You were there in the beginning of our relationship, and you were there for us during our hard times. Wes, you truely are a perfect man. I'm honored to have known you. You have touched so many people in your life. We'll miss you so very much.. and we know we'll see you again someday. Till then you'll forever be in our hearts and our thoughts. Ryan and I love you big Dub and miss you dearly.

Paige & Anderson family,
I knew Wes when we were both younger and I know Wes lived his life to the fullest in everything he did. "The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time." I'm truly and deeply sorry for your loss and he will be missed by many.

Dear Anderson family and Paige,

The Anderson family..my favorite family for many, many years. The family that I wished had been my own. The family that I looked up to, admired and thanked God for them as friends and as a model of decency,honesty, compassion,and kindness. You were very fortunate, Paige, to be loved and cherished by a member of this family, even though that precious time was much too short.
Please know my friends and former neighbors, that you are in our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers and we send our love.
The response to this loving obituary written by my precious friend Tori has overwhelmed us.
Thank you, Richard,for taking time out of your grief to call our attention to it.
I believe that everyone who knows the Anderson family knows where Wes inherited the qualities expressed in his lengthy, heartfelt tribute.

I Love you guys and am so eternally grateful for your family. You are all so very wonderful. Paige I am so happy that I got to know you a lot better this past weekend. You are such a sweet, strong, and beautiful girl on the inside and out. I admire you!!!!! In my eyes you are amazing. Thank you so much for everything !!! Love ya, Mandi Anderson

Dear Anderson Family:
I am unable to express the deep sorrow and sadness I feel...my family is so closely connected to your family in so many ways...I feel like I have lost my own son. Wes and my son, Chris, were close friends for many years, having played baseball together and sharing dance classes. I have always loved how he just lit up the room with his smile and easygoing attitude! What a wonderful young man you raised (among many) and my family will be blessed all the days of our lives just having called him friend.

Dear Paige, and family, I love you and my thoughts and prayers are with you always! I will always love wes very much and will miss him a lot! God bless you always and may he keep you in his constant care always!

Love, Aunt Marti Rachelle

Dear Anderson Family and Paige,
We are deeply sorry for your loss of Wes. As Wes's aunt and uncle (and I also speak for my children, Wes's cousins) he will be greatly missed. We have watched him become a wonderful young man and a great example for my children to follow. He sent a very sweet thank you card to us after his and Paige's wedding. He mentioned how happy and excited he was about his new life with Paige. My fondest memories will be of the kids' puppet shows and wrestling matches at your house. May you find comfort in God's love and plan of happiness for us all.
Mike and Charlene and kids

We JUST found out today from a friend in Agua Dulce about Wes. We're in shock! We were neighbors of the Anderson family in Acton and our son, Ryan, and Wes hung out together in their younger years. Wesley and the entire Anderson family are good people and I can't imagine the pain they and his wife are going through right now. Even though our families have not been in close contact for several years, we feel such a sense of loss as Wesley and his family always meant a lot to us. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Love,

Richard, Annette,and family,
Patsy and I were in Kentucky visiting Ben, Kelly and grandaughters when we were informed of Wes's passing. You all and Paige are in our prayers daily. Wes was a great kid as are all of the Anderson's. All of our kids send their condolences. May God keep you and find a special place for Wes.
All our love, Dave and Patsy Perez and families

Dear Family,
I became acquainted with Wes during this semester when he enrolled in my health science class. Though I have spent a very brief time around him, I found him to be a gracious and happy person. He had a ready smile and was one of the most congenial students I have had. It was a very emotionally experience for me to announce to the class about his passing. I offer my sympathy over your loss.

Heather, Jen, and Becky,
We're sorry to hear about the sad news. I'm sure you were all shocked by his sudden passing. You should be able to help Paige get through this stressful time she is facing right now. After all, you recently went through the same thing so you know how she must be feeling. Stay strong, she is going to need her families love more than anything right now.

Again, we are really sorry for your loss.
Love, Linda and Brent

my dearest darling paige, i am so sorry to hear of your loss. i worked with you at mimis in orem for a short time before moving to washington. i was so unbelievably shocked when looking for my grandson's obituary (who passed away on friday and noticed wes's face. i could never forget his smile and yours. i am so sorry for your loss.

Anderson Family,
Wes was such a great person and will be missed terribly, but I know we have one more angel watching over all of us now!! You all are in my thoughts and prayers and I love you all!!!

Paige,
I can't imagine how difficult this loss must be for you and your loved ones. Please know that we at school care about you and are thinking of you. Come back to see us when you are ready.

Love,
Karla

Dear Paige and Anderson Family,
My heart and my prayers go out to you during this hurtful time in your lives. At the same time, how awesome is it to have the knowledge that one day you will be united with him?! Though you will miss him, may Heavenly Father's peace and assurance be with your family.

Paige,
My heart aches for your loss. I have never been to a funeral with the presence of the spirit so strong. I was deeply touched. My love and prayers go out to you and your family.

Paige, and extended family members,
We are so saddened to hear of your loss.
We met Wes prior to his mission through some family friends and knew right off that he was someone special.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Richard, Annette, and family, we offer our deepest condolences at the news of Wes's passing. We include you and yours in our prayers at this time. There is comfort in the words of Richard L. Evans who said, "Those who leave us are welcomed by others." All our love, John and Dana Anderson and Family.

Dear Paige,
You and I have never met, but I am Richard's cousin. I wanted to tell you that I am thinking about you and praying for you during this very difficult time. May God bless you and comfort you.
With much love,

Dear Paige & Anderson Families:

We were so saddened to learn of Wes' unexpected passing. We first met you and Wes when our daughter Jazzie invited you and Wes, John, and their friends over to our home in Alpine for Dinner last year. We had such a great time and it will be a cherished memory for us.

Please know you are in our thoughts and we pray for the spirit to comfort you and give you peace in the days and months ahead.

Sincerely,

Royce, Ruthie & Jazzie Veater

Paige and Family,
I am not sure if I ever spoke to Wes, but we were in the BYU 240th ward before he got married, and I just want you to know of my deepest condolences, and that you are in my prayers.

Love, Dayna Hackett

Dear Anderson family,

I am deeply saddened to hear about Wes' passing. As an anatomy classmate, Wes and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Remember that God is mindful of you in your trials.

Sincerely,

Paige and Family
We are deeply sorry about your loss. Even though we only met Wes a few times through Rachel and Andrew we knew he was a very special person. Our prayers are with you at this time.

Van and Rebecca Remington

I was a classmate of Wes' and I didn't really know him that well, but I just want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this extremely difficult time.

I just read about Wes's passing and although I never met any of you my heart and prayers go out to all of you, especially you Paige who just recently married in the temple and were at the beginning of looking forward to your whole life ahead.

I know that we cannot always understand the why's of such an untimely death and so I pray that through this great loss that the void and emptiness will be filled by a loving Heavenly Father.

I extend my sorrow and love from a new family member that you can call your brother and who will keep you in my prayers.

Sincerely,

Bryan

I don't know you, or you me. But I had a brother pass away in 2004 from a sudden accident. Just thinking about you and your family, and praying for you all. May God lift you up now, and in the many quiet pain-filled moments yet to come throughout your lives. You will see your Wes again.

Wes seemed like a great guy. We are sorry for your loss.

Paige and Family,

I am sorry about your loss, my prayers are with you.

I knew Wes briefly last year when we were on the same intramural softball team in the Spring. He had an amazing arm an and amazing laugh. He will be missed.

Dear Anderson Family,
I don't know you but I am saddened by your loss. Know that you will be with him again as you keep the commandments.
Sincerely,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Wes was a wonderful person and he will be greatly missed. You will be in my prayers.

Paige,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Wes. He sounded like a wonderful person, as are you. Please know you, your family, and Wes's family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love,
Jenny (Johnson) Tooke

May you be comforted in your loss and uplifted in knowing where and whom he is with.

Paige, I didn't know Wes that well, but I was getting to know him better and I know that he is a special person.
I know Wes loves you very much and wishes he could have spent more time with you here on Earth.
I know we will all meet again one day, and I look forward to that happy reunion.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you. We are so sorry for your loss.

Paige,

My condolences to you and the family. It seemed like just recently Wes and GT came by for some rawfish...I still think it was so cute how much he loved to eat that stuff. My family and I are praying for you. Aloha.

Paige,
I don't even know you, but my heart goes out to you and your family after the loss of your husband. I hope you can see to the other side of this trial. Best wishes.

Dear Richard and Annette,
We find the notice of your son's death very sad but it brought back a
plethora of wonderful memories. We hope God will soon grant you peace in your sorrow.

Paige,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I was stunned to hear of this. I want you to know how much I respected and admired Wes. When I trained him at Mimi's so long ago, I recognized a hard-working, morally-sound man. I only knew you two through our working relationship, but I want you to know that I always thought very highly of both of you. In that work environment, I was glad to see you two stand as good examples for everyone there. I'm grateful for the sealing power. I do not doubt that you two are a forever family.

Dear Paige,
We are so sorry for the loss of your husband. Please know that you and your family are in our prayers. We love you!
Julie Peterson and family

Dear Anderson family,

Paige,Robyn,Eric and Family
I only meet Wes a few times but knew he was someone that was very special. I am so very sorry for you loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Paige, I am sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Paige, I'm so sorry for your loss, I didn't really get to know Wes all that well but from just the short time I met him on this last Lake Powell trip, I knew he cared and loved you!

And he cared about everyone, he and Dan even taught me how to wake board within about an hour! And then we went cliff jumping, and him helping me up with that rope, so that I could jump off that little cliff, he was always thinking of others.

And you cant forget about the tubbing wars, where he would always kick my trash...It was awesome and he was awesome with all of his crazy little twists on games and how he could make everyone smile. =)

He was a great man and my prayers will go out to you and your families behalf

Sincerely,

Paige,
We were so shocked when Eric called and told us about Wes. Paige, we love you as our own and grew to love Wes as well. We will miss his energetic personality at Lake Powell. Our thoughts and prayers are always with you. We love you and may God Bless.
Love Owen, Miriam & Nicole, Shannon and Dan Maynard

Wes, I can't believe you're gone. I'm so sorry that you never had a chance to introduce me to your new wife, you talked so highly of her and I was so happy for you. Thanks for all the memories, we made some great ones growing up. This world needs more people like you. I'll never forget you buddy, I'm proud to have been your friend. I will keep your family and Paige in my prayers forever.
Love, Ryan

I don't know you but I read the obituaries every day. This is one of the most well written obits I've ever read. And you can usually tell a little about a person by reading their obit. I think Wesley must have radiated light. He sounds like a great guy. I hope you can have the peace and comfort that the spirit can bring.

Paige,

I am so sorry. Please know that you are in my prayers and that my heart goes out to you.

Love, Susan

Paige, we were so surprised and so saddened to hear about Wes. We just want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you and all of your wonderful family be blessed with an added measure of comfort at this most difficult time.

Paige,
I know you will have a tough road ahead - But you have a great support team. We love you and will be remembering you in our prayers as well as your whole family. I am so glad he had the chance during this short earthly life to share his love with you- such a sweet, beautiful, talented, fun girl. God bless you.

Love,

Paige,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your sweet family. We love you!

Wes was in my MTC district and we served in the same mission. I got to know him pretty well durring those first two months. He was such a positive influence on the rest of us six missionaries. He was a wonderful person. Love,

Paige, We have followed your life experiences for many years (through Greg and Pam Duval). We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your extended family during this difficult time. Randy & Carolyn Merrill

Paige,
And to think I just met your Wes at Emily's reception. I love you, pray for you and am here for you.
All my love & compassion,
Misty (Dean) Thompson

Paige,
I am so sorry.
Rachel Dean's friend...Debby Rainey

We don't know you, but I just wanted to tell you how touched we were when we read this!

It sounds like Wes was an incredible person and will be terribly missed.

May you find the strength you need to face the hard days ahead. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Danny and Jen

Paige,

I am so sorry for your loss. Please know my heart and prayers are with you. I have thought about you every hour since Kim called me about Wes. I can only imagine your pain and pray for your comfort.

My last memory of Wes was my last day at Mimi's Cafe. He had me in a bear hug, while Paige douse with very cold water. Wes was a good man who will surely be miss. Paige, if there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.

Our deepest sympathy for your loss...

Margene and Marty
