With my sincere condolences! You are in our heart and prayers.

Please accept my deepest sympathy to you, your family and the numerous people that were impacted.

God bless you

Condolences from a fellow UCF alum,

Cece,
I just learned that you have lost your son. My heart breaks for you and your family. You are in my prayers.

Dear Easter Family,

I am so very sad to hear about your son. I am a graduate of the University of Alabama as well as a neighbor. I can only hope that you receive some comfort through your friends, family and God. I am thinking of you, and just feel sick for you. Once again, I am so sorry.

Dear Easter Family,
My son Thompson was a pledge brother of Wes. My heart breaks for your family. We are praying for strength and peace for you through this difficult time.
Cece I remember meeting you as we were setting the tables for the parents weekend last April. Thompson cherishes his bond with his SAE pledge class and I know they will always have Wes in their hearts.

Cece:
I am shocked to hear about the tragic loss of your son Wes. My prayers and heartfelt thoughts are with you and your family always.

my heart goes out to the family and i hope that you all can make it through, look forward, keep your heads up and your spirits high.

Cece,

Your face always lit up whenever we spoke of your boys and I know Wesley or any son could not have a more devoted and loving mother than you. I'm quite sure he knew that , too. I am so very sorry for your loss.
Love,
Becca Shepherd

Dear Dan and CeCe,

I was so sorry to read of the loss of your son. I have a ten year old now and choose not to imagine the pain that must be your constant companion for the time being. Please know that you have been in my kindest thoughts and deepest prayers.

Wesley always brought a smile to my face whenever I saw him. He had a grace to him that was infectious to all he encountered. When coaching him in basketball as a youth, he was our "go-to" guy. He wanted the ball, he wanted to make the play. He was calm and determined. A natural leader. Off the court too, he was a fine young man. He extended his hand first to shake upon greeting and looked you in the eye. There was depth to his soul even as a youngster.

Our hearts filled with sadness learning the news of his passing.

We are comforted with the knowledge that wherever Wes is now, he is making people smile once again. The young man had that quality.

To entire Easter family, our love and prayers are extended. Wes, we miss you.

Dear Dan,

Sandy (Hensel) Austin

I am so saddened to hear about Wesley. He was such a special kid. He was smart, athletic, funny and so very very kind. We adored him and his sweet smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sweet Cece,
I am so deeply saddened about the loss of your precious Wes. After just seeing you at the Mart, who would have known that this was on the horizon. My heart hurts for you knowing what your son meant to you. What a wonderful life he lived even as short as it was. I know he will forever be your guardian angel. May God grant you peace and grace to sustain you in your saddness. You are dearly loved by so many.
My love to you Cece,
Mary Mac

I met Wes when he was working as a lifeguard at Brookwood Hills Swimming Pool. He was one of the most impressive, outstanding young men I have ever encountered. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Aunt Cece, I'm so sorry about Wesley. I hope that you feel better. I'm praying for you and Wesley.

Cece : I remember having had the honor of having Wesley on one of my teams at Buckhead Baseball. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Easter family,
I am so sorry to hear about what has happened and I send my thoughts and prayers to your family. I still can't believe the terrible news as it was only last month when Wesley visited Minneapolis and I was able to spend some time with him and some of our friends from the Burroughs days. I'll never forget being a little girl in 6th grade with the biggest crush on Wesley along with most other girls in our class. He was funny, smart, athletic, and not to mention cute to look at. After he moved back to Atlanta I looked forward to the days he would come back knocking at my door to hang out and play basketball when it was actually warm in minnesota. Although he was only with us for a short time he made a big impact on all those he met and he will never be forgotten. Even 8 years later, he still to this day was a great friend to all of us in Minneapolis and will be greatly missed.

Love and Prayers,
Adrian Pansch

Dear Cece,
Wes was a special favorite of mine when he was a student at Christ the King School. He had a charm and style that made adults smile from the moment he came near.
It was my great good fortune to be a teacher to Wes, and I share in your profound sorrow.

With deepest sympathy,
Penny Pope

Aunt Cece I feel so sorry for you. My prayers are with you

I'm very sorry about Wes. I feel really bad and I hope you can feel better soon. Will

Cece
Was heartbroken to see that Wes passed away this past weekend. I can't begin to imagine what a hole that has left in your heart. Michael and Nick remember Wes fondly from when they lived down the street from you. Our prayers are with you.
Ian

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Easter family during this tough time. We are praying for a sense of peace for the Easter family.

Dear Dan:

I met you when you were about Wes's age. And while I never met him, I can only imagine what a fine young man he was. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Wishing you strength, comfort and healing,

Nancy Jedrey Eberhart

Dear Easter family,
We were all sadened to hear about Wes' passing. We send our prayers your way to help you through this time. For the few years that Wes spent with us in Minneapolis, he became a friend in which none of us will ever forget. His kind nature was evident wherever he went, whether it was at Burroughs or while playing sports. He was a very talented person, who made us all jealous on the field, court, etc. and with his dashing good looks!

Wes will always be remembered by so many of us here in Minnesota and we will forever charish the memories that we have.

Sincerely,
Brooks, Joe and our families.

Dan & Family,

May you remember all the wonderful times you had with your son Wes throughout his short time with us. In reading about him on this site it was very aparent that he truly rose to the occasion at every step of his life.

Personally, I remember traveling on business with you Dan just last summer and watching you speak to Wes on the phone on more than one occasion. There was a unique father-son connection that I could hear in your voice as well as see in your eyes that this young man was very special to you, as are all your children.

Obviously this will be a very difficult time for all of you and one in which the pain will never go away. Trust in your faith that Wes is now in a better place watching over you.

Sincerely & with sympathy,
David

your family is in my thoughts and prayers

Cece, we remember Wes fondly from Buckhead Baseball days when he and Matthew were on the same team. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Dan and family,
I met Wes twice in my life when I was invited at your house. I was impressed about his character. I felt sad when I received the information that he passed away. I can't find the right words to express how I feel for you and your family. God bless you. You never walk alone. Dirk Steinkampf (Wiesbaden , Germany)

Ms. Easter,
Wes was a good young man who was loved by all around him. He had a good heart and his death will be grieved by many. I am so lucky to have gotten to know him, though his time on earth was short, it was wonderful, he made so many people's lives splendid. I am thinking of you and praying for your family. May Wes rest in peace. He will be sorely missed.

Dear CeCe, Beverly, Charlie, and family.
I was so deeply saddened to hear of your son and grandson, Wesley's, sudden death. It is apparant that he was an incredible young man and I can only imagine your devastation. I'm so sorry I could not be with you for the Memorial but you are all in my prayers. CeCe, please know that I am here for you and if I can provide you any motherly love and compassion, I'm as near as my phone: 770-413-0545.

Dear Ceci,
Life changes in a split second and our worlds stop.....The lives of your family and all the people who love Wesley are forever changed. When something like this happens, that is so clearly out of life's order I believe we all pause, stop and try to make sense of something that will never make sense. I believe Wesley's life gives all of us the opportunity to recognize life is short, to understand and appreciate he made the most of every day and just as his world was filled with love, Wesley spread love, lived his life with respect and defined doing his best in all endeavors. My hope is you and your family will feel the love surrounding you today as well as in the days ahead.
Love,
Susan Duncan

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this unbelievably difficult time.

Dear Easter Family,
We are saddened by your loss. We remember Wes well was a wonderful student at Burroughs. Our prayers are with you.
Tim Cadotte-Principal

Dear Cece:

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. God bless you--you are in our prayers.

Wes- It had been a while since I saw you last but I will always remember the memories and fun times we shared. Your sweet spirit and dedication to your hobbies and friends will be remembered forever. You will truly be missed.

A message to Wes's mother:

You do not know me, nor do I know you.

I was also part of the group of 40 year olds that Wes kindly ferried to and from a concert in December. For the most part, we were graduates of the Lovett School in the year 1987. Clearly, we saw much earlier versions of ourselves in him. He hung around before the show, at a friend's house, putting up with an enormous amount of silliness of a bunch of reluctantly aging friends.

I witnessed him off to the side, clearly rising above. He was so patient with the sad efforts some old cronies to conjure up a good time.

When I got home, one of the first comments to my wife was not about the concert, but about your son and how impressed I was with him.

When I saw his obituary this morning, I was horrified. I was horrified at the unfairness of it all. The understatement of the century is to say that this young man was taken from you in his prime.

While I know i cannot offer you the one thing you want the most right now, maybe, just maybe, in due time, you'll receive this message as evidence that your son possessed the true measure of a man:

that a stranger was moved by him.

May you and your family have peace.

Dan and Family,

We are so sorry to hear about your son Wesley. We pray you feel God's grace, mercy and the peace that passes all understanding as you travel this difficult path.

I met Wes this summer through my daughter, Hope. He was in our home on a number of occassions and I was always struck by his good manners. His death has left us both shaken and profoundly sad. He was a very fine young man who left an indelible impression and a warm place in our hearts forever. Everytime I walked into the room Wes would stand up. I knew then he was "raised right". We are thankful to have known him and can only imagine your sorrow. You are all in our prayers, Nina and Hope Allison

The Cutbirth family is standing with you in prayer as you move through this horrific valley of loss. May God's grace and mercy be your strength from hour to hour. Mark and Donna (Matthew, Joshua, Caroline and Aaron)

Wes,
A group of children were asked what they believed Heaven to be, one little girl said "Heaven is beautiful with no hurt or talking about people. It is all good. You will be beautiful. Clouds are floating. People are laughing and praying with Jesus. You get everything you want, and you have beautiful voices to sing for God's Glory. Sunflowers are everywhere and the streets are even made of gold!"

Despite all the laughing and praying and golden streets you get to enjoy right this very moment, I wish you were still here. Selfishly, I wish God had not taken you yet. You've left imprints on my heart, as well as countless others that will never be washed away. I am so proud to have considered you a friend and I know many would agree when I say that you are already missed. I can't wait to see you again.

Love,
Molly

To The Easter Family,

Wes,

It seems like yesterday you entered the grade below me at Westminster. Just a few years before high school I was a new student at Westminster myself, and I knew how difficult it was to adjust to Westminster: academically, socially, and in every other way imaginable. I was quietly jealous observing how easy you made it look. You made the transition almost immediately, and I think that says a lot about the kind of person you are. As far as extra-curricular activities were concerned you were as naturally talented athletically as I was out-of-shape and lazy.

Because you made such a quick transition into Westminster I was able to get to know you quickly during free periods and later hanging out outside of school. You were an honest man with a pure heart. I have great memories of us kicking it in high school. My only regret is that I could have spent my senior year at Westminster if I had just stayed for the remainder of junior year, but Kevin Reel promised and assured me before I took some time off at the end of junior year that I could come back for senior year. You were the kind of person who would keep a promise, at age sixteen or seventeen you had more character than our own high school principal. He and Dr. Clarkson went back on their word and would not let me come back to graduate with my friends and spend my last year with my underclassmen friends such as yourself. It makes me especially bitter now that I missed that year, and all the opportunities I could have had to hang with you.

You were going to go on to do great things in your life and at times like these I look to God to try to understand why this happened. You are the last person this should have happened to. I can only conclude that God had a purpose for your soul of greater significance. It is comforting knowing your soul is at peace and in a better place. And the best part about the place where you are: the fact that all of us will join you. I will continue to pray for you and your family.

Dear Dan and family -

Words cannot describe the deep sorrow I feel for you all at this time - Wesley was a beautiful, kind, mature and loving young man who made all those around him smile. We are blessed by the time he spent with us on this earth - we are blessed with his spirit and memory.

Dear Cece, Dan, Charles, and Family,
We were so very saddened to learn about the sudden loss of your wonderful Wes. Martha Douglas so much enjoyed having him in her classes during our Christ the King years. He had grown into such a fine and handsome young man. We pray that your faith, fond memories, and the special love of family and friends surrounding you at this difficult time will help bring you comfort and peace. May you feel the warmth of our thoughts and prayers for you all and Wes's sweet soul in the weeks and months to come. He is now a very special angel in our midst. God bless and keep you ~ Pete, Lawrie, Martha Douglas, and Family

Dear CeCe,
We are deeply saddened to hear about the death of Wes. I know he was such an incredible person and brought such joy to the lives of everyone he touched. Our prayers are with you and your family during this time. Our most sincere condolences,

CeCe: What a precious gift you had in Wesley. You were so lucky to have had him. I can't imagine how profoundly you feel his loss right now. I am deeply sorry and will continue to pray for you and your family.

My dear CeCe,

Words cannot express how truly sorry I was to hear about the passing of Wes. My heart is breaking for you, Dan and Charles. I will always have such fond memories of living 4 houses down the street from you on Dellwood and all the fun times Randolph, Elizabeth and I had with you, Wes and Charles. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Much love, Theresa, Elizabeth and Randolph

Ce Ce, Charlie, Beverly and Family,

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayer's. May God Keep you extra close to him, and know that you have a very special angel watching over you. God Bless you All.

Dear Dan & Family,
I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

It was an honor to get to know Wes both playing football with him and as his coach. He will be dearly missed by the Family.

Dear CeCe and Charles,
You know that we love your family and have such great memories of t-ball, football, halloween and all of the fun times together. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Anne, David, Colin, and Hali

It breaks my heart to hear about the loss of your son. He played football with my son and later was coached by my son at Westminster. From everything I hear, he was more than a great athlete, he was a wonderful person. You all will be in my thoughts.

Dear Cece and Charles,
My heart is aching for you. Wesley will be deeply missed by all of us who knew him. My memories of him at Christ the King school are vivid. I pray your memories will comfort you. Please let me know how I can help in any way.
Most sincerely, Mary Welch Rogers

My dear friend CeCe, my heart is aching for you and your family. All of my prayers and love to you.

Mrs. Easter:
You do not know me, but I was part of a group that Wes helped by driving to and from a concert last month. We all immediately noted his strong character and warm heart . He was a friend the moment we met him- I'm sure you hear that a lot. Our thoughts are with you, your family, and the fine young man you raised.

Charlie and Beverly,
Our hearts are broken for you, we have just heard the news. We feel helpless, but know that we are here for you. Our prayers are definitely with you all.
With love and concern,
George and Jean Allen

CeCe,
Words cannot describe how sorry I am about Wes. I have such fond memories of hawling Wes, Roby, Britt and her girlfriends around when they couldn't drive. He was always so sweet and respectful. I last saw Wes at the party you had for prom. I thought then what a great kid he was! I am so very very sorry. My very best to you.

CeCe,

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the rest of your family.

May God's love and grace uphold you all during this solemn time.

I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on two of the most beautiful little boys I had ever seen in the Baskin Robbins nestled in Peachtree Battle and then suddenly recognized you standing right beside them!

I am so glad you have your sisters and family to cocoon you and to give you the strength to persevere through this week and the days ahead.

I am always here for you, whenever you need anything or need a place of refuge in Charleston.

All my love,

xoxo Ellen

Dan and Family:

Wesley was raised well. He demonstrated leadership and maturity throughout his life. He's now in God's hands. I am truly sorry for your loss and I've prayed for you and your family. Dan, God Bless you for being a supportive and dedicated Father. Please understand your friends from UCF will always be here for you.

Sincereley,

Cece,
Jake really admired Wes when he was a freshman because Wes was one of the senior captains that would be nice to the "little guys"

Wes, words can't desribe what you meant to your friends. There are so many great memories that all of us will never forget. Being around you always brought smiles and laughter. You are the one, the only, beaster. I'll always miss you, but we both know that you are in a better place. Have fun up there.
