I knew Wes from our shared time in Georgia and then later in Tennessee. Wes was usually the smartest guy in the room and helped us bring innovation to programs in both states. He was always a pleasure to work with and I was always impressed by him. This is very sad, but I hope and pray that his family can find peace and enjoy good memories of Wes.

It is with a heavy heart I say my last goodbye to our dear friend Wes. He was a member of our family, our girls loved Wes, they both had crushes on him. After all he was a cutie patootie!. But most of all he was a gentle soul and a bright light that has gone out far too soon. Wes loved life, Sophie, and the Georgia Bulldogs!, we had to agree to disagree on that one. I had the opportunity to see Wes not so long ago and to my surprise he looked like a grown man. As we all know he had a baby face forever! It was great catching up, one thing about Wes no matter how long it had been, no matter the distance, you would be greeted by that infectious smile . I extend my deepest condolences to his family. May God wrap you in his loving arms during your time of bereavement.

Wes I am so sad to hear about your passing on my birthday! I remember you coming to Rockdale Dekalb PDC on audits and you found out my nickname "chicken" whenever we would see each other at different places within GDC and you would call me that and give me a hug! I recently saw you last year at MRF and you called me Chicken and hugged me! You were always so nice! To your daughter your dad was always a gentlemen and she is so lucky to have you as her dayRest In Peace Wes

My condolences and prayers to Wes´ family. Wes was always so kind to me as my mentor when I moved into a new position working very closely with him. He was incredibly smart and he taught me so much. I was proud to call him my friend and he will be greatly missed. Wes loved his family so much. His face would always light up when he talked about his children. The only thing he loved more was his precious Georgia Bulldogs! Fly high up on that mountain my friend!

My heart is saddened. My deepest condolences to his beautiful daughter Sophie. So many wonderful memories and experiences I will always cherish. My last opportunity to be with him was at a luncheon with Sophie and him.
Wes was an amazing father, so devoted to his beautiful daughter.
A true patriot whose love for country was only surpassed by his love and devotion for Sophie.
Wes genuinely cared for his friends, associates, workmates, and employees. He made everyone better around him.
You are missed so very much my friend.
May God bless and accept you into His presence.
