Wes, Or "Cool Waters" as I knew him was a great guy and his death will dim the light of the world just a little bit...But I am sure that light will be tenfold up above. See you on the other side my man..

I hope this goes to Wesley's parents:I can't tell you how sad I am that Wesley's life was cut short, he was a dear and true friend. I still have his signature phrases echoing in my head in that accent of his which I'm sure he got from you. And stories like the time he was asked to walk a line on the side of the road by a begrudging officer and did a double back handspring instead! He was so caring and earnest, he helped my mom and sister when they were lost with no one to go to for guidance. He was always a trusted light. I also hope this goes to Mary, he loved you so much and spoke about how happy you made him every time we talked. The last time I spoke with him, he said he was trying to take it easy for his heart and that I had a calming affect on him so we should all spend more time together. He was always trying to do the right thing deep down at his core. I'll never forget him. I'm so sorry for your loss. It is a deep crater in the life of anyone who really knew him and that's a testimony to the quality of man he was. You should be proud to have a son like that. -josh threlkleld

Despite only ever knowing Charles from online video games I could still tell that he was a pretty stand up guy. Many people in the Crowfall community will miss him.
