Wesley was both an accountant and an electrician, a testament to his strong work ethic, versatility, and lifelong commitment to providing for his family. He worked hard his entire life and believed deeply in showing up, staying consistent, and being present for his children and grandchildren.

Known affectionately as "Wink" and "Oscar the Grouch," Wesley had a tough exterior and a sharp edge. Though he could be a little gruff, those who knew him best understood that beneath it all was a loving, loyal man who cared deeply and showed his love through actions more than words.

A die-hard San Francisco 49ers fan, Wesley loved football and rarely missed a game. It was one of the many ways he connected with family and found joy.

Above all, Wesley will be remembered as a man who was always there steady, dependable, and unmistakably himself. His legacy lives on through his children, grandchildren, and the values he instilled in them.

In accordance with Wesley's wishes, there will be no memorial or funeral service.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered
