Dr. Latson,
It has almost been a year and I still have no idea how you have maintained the strength and determination to go on...I cannot imagine the pain that you and your family have experienced and you are always in my thoughst and prayers. I just wanted to let you know that there are some who have not forgotten your tragic loss almost a year ago and pray that you keep your son's legacy alive by continuing to be the exceptional individual that you are.
God bless and keep you.

Dr. Latson & Family,
we can never make sense of why bad things happen to good people, Wes was definitely a good person and I met your son at Seminole Community College and we remained friends during our tenure at UCF. May God hold all of your hearts in His hands and comfort you in the days, weeks, months and years to come. God's strength is made perfect in your weakness. God bless you all and you will remain in my prayers. I'll do my part to make sure this does not happen to anyone else.
Yours truly,
DeAngelo L. Chaney

I met Wes a couple of years ago thru Moneka. We shared many fun times and he will always be missed. His daughter looks just like him and I'm sure he would be so proud!

Dear Dr. Latson and Family,
I met Wesley about a year ago at your birthday party. We laughed and had a great time and became good friends from there. Although I could say a lot of sympathetic words, I will take a motivational approach. I want to say that all you have to do is stay grounded in the Lord. He has all the answers that you need. The truth is, we will all miss him, some much more than others. But God has ordained everything to be self evident. What is meant to be, will be. So, celebrate his life because although it was not as long as we would have liked for it to be, he served his purpose. We have to concentrate on fulfilling our destinies. Are we truly doing the will of God? This event is a direct example of the fact that no man knows the day nor the hour. So, let's allow the legacy of Wesley's life, to bless our lives and to remind us to give thanks for having another day here on earth.
Love,
Ms. Jessika Timmons

Dear Latson Family,
When I met Wesley at school a few years ago we instantly became friends and had a lot of amibitions and goals in mind that we were to set out to do. He was always there to help me with school and in life in general. He was a great person and is truly missed.
I appreciate the time we were friends and the knowledge and advice that I was able to gain from him.
He will be missed.

My heart is with you in this tragic time. Wesley was a sweetheart and a wonderful person. He was my neighbor for a year and a half. Wesley always had a smile, every time I saw him, that's what I will always remember about him. He will be greatly missed by many, but will always be remembered. My prayers go out to you. Kendra and Uri, anything you need, Josh, Kristen and I are here for you both and miss Leah.

Mr. Latson, Dr. Latson, Kendra & Uriel:
Words can not express how truly sorry and sadden I am for your loss. Your son and brother was truly one of a kind. He was sweet, kind, sincere and gentle with a wonderful heart. I remember when he was little Wesley from Middle School to High School who then overnight turned into a stunning fine young mature man. I am significantly blessed to say that I had the opportunity to know and have a friendship with Wesley. You all are and will remain in my prayers.
Love Always!!

We are deeply saddened by your loss, and share your heartbreak. Our prayers are with you.
Although we hadn't seen Wesley in quite a while, we have fond memories of the times we spent with him at your home and ours, and at Mullins Park.
God got Himself a really good Angel this time.
Rest in peace, Wesley. We love you.

There are no words to describe this tragedy, I cannot even speak to you Doc, I don't know what to say I am hurting for you and I am praying for you . I only met John a few times but he was a nice soft spoken young guy with great family that loved him. I hope to speak to you soon Doc if you read this. I just want you to know everyone at school the kids and staff miss you and pray for you.

My heart goes out to you at the loss of your brother. There are no words that can possibly comfort you, or lessen your sorrow at the death of Wesley.
