Wesley Ross Pendley

Wesley Ross Pendley, born in Houston, TX on June 13, 1955, passed away suddenly on February 11, 2024, at the age of 68. He was preceded in death by his parents Raymond "Hal" Pendley and Mary Ellen Hansen Pendley. Wesley, known affectionately as Wes, was the eldest sibling of two sisters, Donna Lynne and Lynda Pendley.

Throughout his life, Wesley was a pillar of strength and determination, establishing himself as a successful business owner for over 45 years.
