Wesley Dean Acord

 

Wesley Dean Acord, 42, of Churchville, passed away, Sunday, March 19, 2023 at his home.

He was born September 7, 1980 in Staunton, a son of Frankie Marie (Pullin) Campbell of Swoope and the late Robert Mitchell “Pi” Acord.

From a young age, Wesley loved cars and retained that love throughout his life, going as far as attending and driving in the Richard Petty Driving School, taking road trips and having a need for high speed. He also enjoyed skydiving, playing his drum set and finding unique videos on YouTube to share with his family and friends. He was a daredevil, thrill seeker and certainly his own person.
