Wesley Durham Obituary
Wesley Burton Durham, 53, passed away at his home on February 3, 2025. Born on December 9, 1971, he was a beloved son, father, brother, and partner, deeply loved by many. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM, Saturday, February 8, 2025, at Wilkerson Funeral Home with Pastor Gerry Collins officiating.
Wesley had a larger-than-life personality and never met a stranger. He had a way of making people laugh, whether through his quick wit, wild stories, or unforgettable antics. His family has truly cherished the outpouring of love, company, and shared memories—stories of the good, the bad, and the downright hilarious moments with Wesley, each one a reminder of the impact he had on those around him.
He is survived by his son, Jackson Woodrow Durham; his life partner, Carla Wilson; his mother, Dollie Durham; his brother, Jason Durham; Jason’s children, Page Ward, Caleb Durham, and Abbie Durham; and his nieces and nephews, Beau Ward and Nayeli Alvarez; uncle Gerry Collins and Brenda; and aunt Judy Rakestraw. He was preceded in death by his father, Larry Burton Durham.
Wesley will be deeply missed, but his spirit and the countless stories about him will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. Rest in Peace.
