I worked with Wes at the lab for many years. He was a skilled electrician and a good guy. I remember all the times that he and Herman (Gill) would convince each other that it was time for a smoke break. Neither one of them needed much convincing. I remember how happy he was when Brandi came into his life.
I recently heard about this death. My sincere condolences to Brandi and his family.

Hey Wesley Cole!
5 years you have been gone forever......There is not a day that passes by that my heart, mind & soul begs for you to come back home to me. I miss you everyday. I have really been struggling lately, at my absolute worst, however I am staying as strong as I possibly can and holding on to everything you taught me to be & all the memories you left with us. I feel your spirit with me everyday. I tell you (out loud)as soon as I walk in the door of our beautiful hm how much I love you. I still have Tig and he misses you too. I had to put BO down last year, his back legs wouldn't go anymore. I know he is with you. I miss him so much too. He was my ROCK,however Tig has really stepped up to the plate and I am very proud of him. I also, have a Chocolate Lab "Maddie" so Tig has a friend to play with. She is very intelligent, sweet, and all puppy.
I am going to close this Legacy Book now as your parents have been patiently waiting for me to do this for a long time. It's hard to let go/shut things down.
"Meaning everything"
In your Honor Wesley Cole Morris
FOREVER IN MY HEART,
Your Wife,

Hi Babe, I have been going through your music - oh, how you loved your music.
Remember how we sang ~ We Will Sing in The Sunshine ~ we sang it over and over ~ we know every word of every song of Marty Robbins ~ you gave your Dad the CD of ~ Nitty Gritty Dirt Band ~ and he will put it in the car and play it over and over.
Ed was here last week and during the conversation he said ~ I will put it the way Wes would put it ~ You Done Good.
We miss you so......Mom
Here is your Dad ~
Well ~ Wesley Cole it has been three long years since your passing and the many people who had the chance to know you have expressed their respect and love in your Legacy Book.
We are going to close the book now. We will have our copy that we will cherish forever.
Your loving smile and your personality you shared with all the people who had the privilege to know you is your LEGACY...DAD

HI Wes, This is Brandi your #1 that you adored dearly...Today is April 5th 2013, It's been 3yrs without you Wesley C. My chest & heart are SO heavy, however you have left me with so many memories... Precious, hilarious, sad you were one-of-a-kind that's for sure. I needed your help with my shoes matching my outfit the other day, remember I would come out of the closet all in a fuss: Wes which shoe looks the best. You wld immediately say that one & the other one is definitely out! You take after your Mom when it comes to class/good taste & I loved it. I have kept the house up very nice, adding a little paint to the walls & landscaping. I know we never had a green thumb remember the 11 Queen Palms that Hank & Jay gave us & the Oysters you buried around the tree. That was the only one that didn't make it. I miss you unconditionally. I feel you watching over me ALL the time. I feel your Spirit in times I'm asking for Strength.... I hear you calling out to me BRAAANNNDI! Your friends are laughing right now b/c they hear it too! Like you always said, It's ALL GOOD! I'm wrkg on my Final letter. Your Legacy Book closes April 11th the day after my B-day.... Your Mom has a beautiful, spiritual, very moving "Cover Photo" You are in it-I feel it. I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER!
Your wife, Brandi

Merry Christmas Wes. I miss you SO much... It just hurts so bad for you not to be in my life. We used to have so much fun at Christmas time you loved your candy decorations & the tree the biggest & the best! My Dad shipping pine nuts, you & your football, & everything about you. Your voice when u walked thru the door or called me on the phone with such enthusiasm - hey baby! I can hear you & i miss you wes. I hope you are at peace, i feel you help me keep my strength at times, but most of all i miss you so much words will never be able to explain. I love you! Cheers to a new year! Wish me luck bc i need it, i love you Wesley C.

Hey, Everyday I write to you in my heart & soul Wes - seems it is getting harder & harder to come here.
We had the traditional Thanksgiving dinner yesterday - with my cousins - but there was an empty chair in my heart with a plate as full as you could get and smothered in gravy -
Wes's style.
Saturday is football day - the weather here is nice.
We truly love our new house and are slowly unpacking all the many boxes.
Your Dad is down again - after all these years we thought that it was gout but it has turned out to be Achilles Tendinopathy - therapy is slow but at least we are on the right track.
Ecco is flying in a few days
before Christmas to help drive back to her place for Christmas - her first without Donald.
Seems that Christmas need people as much as trees, tinsel, silver bells, music, gifts but most of all the warmth of love that it brings.
I'll be back soon. Love you.
Hi W.C Dad here. Its football season and its a dandy. This Saturday FSU takes on the Gators at FSU - BCS rates Florida 5th, FSU 8th but FSU is picked to win by 7 pts and they know your setting on the front row all decked out in your FSU jacket and hat and I will be setting along side you, oh what a time we will have. Mom and I miss you so much and its so hard this time of year but we know your watching over us and we will see you soon. love Dad

Me and your parents put a good one on and we really got you good. I still have all the decor that we used & lot's of great pics to look at from over the years. Thats all I can do to get by is look at all the fun we used to have in all of our pics. Not the same but when I see your sweet face it seems you will come out of the picture sometimes & it makes me smile & cry. I'm thankful that you left me with so many fun memories. I'm thankful I got to be a part of your life for 14 yrs. Thank you for being such a wonderful husband & friend. I love you Wes

I just read Kim's letter and I have to laugh! I'm not sure if I'm the friend but I still have the Memoirs or Memories of Mu. I'm not sure if that is the exact title but that was 29 0r 30 years ago. Wes was very proud of you and liked to brag about his family! All good of course! We stayed in touch for many years on and off but when we talked it was like no time had passed. Wes was a one of a kind and he never forgot his friends or his family. I remember I was mad at him because he wouldn't let me meet Lawrence Law! By the way I loved the book and I think I still have it if you would like it back! Your mom knows my email.

Hi, Mom & Dad here - We keep thinking we have someone to call and tell you about how much we miss you and love you.
We want you to know that we are moving again - absolutely lovely house just a few blocks away from where we are now. The garden has flowers - with a fountain and roses all over. Your Dad is putting the garage together first. I can see the smile on your face - because
you know how he loves his garage - with his tools all organized hanging in a row.
Scott & Ben are coming down this weekend
to help with the furniture.
The Morris family is having their reunion(the good old Hinckley parade)so we will all be there to stop by to say Hi and tell you how much we wish you were here. We love you and miss you so terribly. Love Mom and Dad
Your love, Brandi

Dear Wesley Cole,
Your brother Shane posted a beautiful poem. I miss you so much everyday in every kind of way. I hear your voice & I know you are in every rainbow I see.
You were one of a kind Wesley Cole & everyone misses you SO much. Not a day went by that Mr. Wesley C made someone laugh or smile.
I miss you so much...
Love you forever,
The Flowers were lovely. There was so much love around.

Do not stand at my grave and weep'
I am not there, I don't sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
Iam the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I do not die.
Mary Elizabeth Frye
For my brother Wes
Love forever

I never really knew him that well. Distance & different lives kept us apart, but I remember he always had a joke, always a sly grin, his boastful way of talking, his unashamed slang, fondness of beer and golf and...he often told me he was my number one fan. I remember he once brought a friend to my house after reading my then unpublished novel for the sole purpose of showing off his "soon to be famous brother." I always wanted to know him better, always wished he lived closer-that we could have shared more, that he could have known my kids. We were best of friends who never got to spend enough time with each other, but I'll always remember his laugh, his warmth, the way he so completly embraced life-robustly, embracing it with both arms. I once told him if he were a character in my book he'd be an ancient kelt with a love of mead, meat off the bone, and always eager for his next battle. Though I didn't know him well, I know I loved him. everyone loved him, and his passing was a sad and terrible mistake of time that can't really be explained, but I am certain that in the place my characters often call he was embraced and loved in what my books he loved to talk about with me called the "otherworld." His passing was an accident that was never meant to happen. I will always miss him and always wish circumstance had let me know him better. I know I will embrace him again, I know he is kindred, and I know he didn't mean to leave us. I know I will be with him again because he will always be our kindred. He was often plagued by emotions, as I have been, he wrestled with deep questions, he was outspoken and even brash, but what made him different was his pure heart. He may have roared like a lion at times, but his heart was giving and selfless. and I look forward to being with him again in the otherworld. Go in Faith's Light, my brother.

Wes the last time I saw you was 2 years ago on a Monday morning, April 5th the day after Easter Sunday... I just can't believe you are gone forever, however I know you are watching after me & Bo & Tig & everyone. I feel you with us all the time...I also feel protected,& I talk to you everyday only some days its out loud, other days its to Bo & Tig and every single day in silence. You left me with so many wonderful memories & I thank you for that. I truly learned a lot from you & I wish you could have lived a lot longer. I want to tell you how proud I am of you and all your accomplishments. I know all your friends at the Mag Lab miss you & continue to reminisce. You were such a character & so full of life. Your energy was contagious & I miss you SO, SO much!
I love you Wesley Cole Morris
FOREVER, MY LOVE TO YOU,
Your wife,
P.S. I'm working on my letter to you for this book will expire in a few days...It's just so hard to have to close...

Has it really been two years!! I just looked through the Guest Book pictures and remembered your smiling face. I felt a pain in my heart but thought of all the happy times we spent together and the laughter we shared. Johnny and I think and talk about you often. There will always be a hole that only you can fill -- we miss you and love you, dear friend. My sister Patti should be there with you now -- hopefully you have had a chance to visit.

Dear Wes, It's my 2nd Christmas without you & its not getting any easier. You loved Christmas! You had to have the perfect tree. We would look around for hours to find the perfect tree, then we would get it hm & you had to have all your strings of candy garland that you just loved. I still have all the decorations that we put on the tree back to when you were a kid. It means so much to my heart and its so hard to decorate without you.The ornaments had to be in the perfect spot. For you my sweet baby to get into something and want it in the perfect place is funny to all b/c we know how you loved to fly by the seat of your pants with everything a mess! but Hey you were always on your game, and you would call yourself one-step ahead! I miss you so much Wesley Cole. Not a day goes by without thinking about you. Every morning I wake up & tell you good morning and when I walk through the door at night I tell you I'm home & blow you kisses. I know you catch them. I feel you with me all the time. I feel you watch after me. I just can't even explain how much I miss your touch, loving ways, and everything about you. I want to hear your voice so bad I just can't stand it. I love you forever Wes...and ever!
Your wife always, Brandi J. Morris

Well, Wes here we are in Vegas - we have a small house but it is all we need at this point. As we unpack you are always there - your hats - a shirt - Dad is wearing your FSU shirt it is a little chilly in the morning. By the way you would be proud of FSU they are winning and the games are great - we watch each one that is televised.
Dad is building a computer desk - He has his garage set up. You know how he is when he has a project to do. He has several of your pictures that are with him - Oh Wes we miss you so much. I can't look at your picture - I'm just not strong enough yet.
We know that Danny is with you - he just couldn't hold on.
We are going to Ecco's for Christmas - Donald is not doing very well and may join you soon.
Ed was here for a few days - he played the guitar - Dad the harmonica - all the songs you loved so - funny stories and somehow we felt your presence.
October 29, 2011
Dear Wes,
My dad just passed away on October 27, say hi for me and tell alot of stories, he like you was a great man. My heart is heavy but I know that both of you are in a better place. I miss you both.
October 3, 2011
Wow, it's almost been one and a half years since we have heard that hearty laugh and your teasing ways. Our lives are certainly not as full and joyful without you here to share them. You always loved stories, family, friends, music and memories. Thank you for making our lives a little more brighter and showing us what a "friend is". Leaving us with many good times to keep your memory alive and provide comfort when we are feeling down. I always look for signs from you and I hear alot of them through songs.
HATS OFF TO YOU!
YOU ARE THE MAN!

Hey Wes, well guess what? We have moved back to Vegas - it is really really hot. We will be closer to everyone here. We are both putting up with the aches & pains but doing okay. We miss you so very much. Let you know when we hit a jackpot.

However, I want to thank you for all of the wonderful Memories that you left with me. We had the Best times together & I'm very grateful that I got to be your wife for 13 years and 15 years of the best times ever. We were "2-peas in a pod" & loved each other so much.
Your parents are moving far away to Vegas & I'm so sad I just can't event take it all in. I love and Miss you Wesley Cole Morris,

We are going back to Vegas where we feel we can be around the family - Ed is waiting to come over and play golf...

Johnny and I loved Wes -- he was like family...our brother. Its been a year and we still can't believe he is gone. Maybe because we don't want to believe. Life, as they say, goes on...we still have our memories and I know that is true. Our memories are great but I am sad we will never have the opportunity to make more new ones! The bottom line is that one little spark in our world went out the minute we knew he was gone and we will never get it back. We Love You, Wes! We think of you often and we miss you every day. Donna & Johnny
April 13, 2011
Wes, you are dearly missed by so many. You gave many smiles and laughter in the lives that are left behind. It would take a 1000 pages to write down all the good times we all shared together. you and Brandi were always a joy to be around. As you would say "ITS ALL GOOD" & it will be.

Taking a walk on memory lane isn't all that grey. Taking a walk on memory lane I see the sunrays.
Taking a walk on memory lane isn't full of tears. Taking a walk on memory lane I have no fears.
Taking a walk on memory lane not a dropp of rain in sight. Taking a walk on memory lane everthing is alright.
Taking a walk on memory lane is where i want you to come alone.
Taking a walk on memory lane is where we belong all life long.

Hi Uncle Wes,
Although we shared a short time together here on earth, you made me smile and you weren't scared of holding me and even when I cried, you comforted me and made me laugh again. I couldn't get you to change my diappie, but that's ok! "Aunt 'Andie" tells me lots of stories about you and my big brothers always laugh when they talk about you. We'll meet again one day. We may have lost a great friend but heaven gained an even greater soul. Hugs and kisses, Luke :) xox

Hi Uncle Wes,
We miss you lots and lots and will always remember how you made us smile and laugh. You were the best teacher at "bucket ball!" and we loved coming to your house and playing with you and Aunt Brandi and BoBo and Tig. We love you - Nick and Jake :) :) xoxox

Cousin Wes, I have warm thoughts and happy memories of you and times we all spent at Thanksgivings, and family reunions at Grandma's and Grandpa’s.
I know you are the absolute apple of my Auntie and Uncle’s eyes, and know how much they miss you. I pray often for them, for God to bring some peace and comfort, knowing you are safe and at peace.
April 9, 2011
Wes, We, your cousins, miss seeing you out here in Las Vegas when you would come to visit your Mom and Dad when they lived here. I really enjoyed watching you go ballistic when the FSU Seminoles were playing football and they were not winning. I'm sure they know you were their best fan. Maybe from where you are now you can get word to them to play better football.
I always enjoyed your's and Brandi's visit to Las Vegas. You left behind a lot of friends and memories. Also, those food containers for the military that you made when you were
in Montana. I've seen them. I've had one. They are great and so are you. We'll look after your Mom and Dad when they get back out here. You are being remembered dearly. Bill Hardy and the Hardy Cousins Las Vegas, NV

My Dear Cousin Wes, Is hard to believe that one year has gone by since you left us. I look back at the memories we have as cousins, friends and family. It was in Montana that I got to know you. We laughed, we cried, we got in trouble and we lived. I think of you often. I miss your laugh, your Florida accent and listening to you tell me how much you loved being a Morris. You are still a Morris and will always be. One day we all will see you again. It will be a joyous reunion. God Bless you Brandi. I know Wes loves you. I've known it since he first met you. I pray you will find happiness and joy in the years to come. And to my Uncle Sid and Aunt JoAnn, It is my prayer that you too will find peace and comfort in knowing that we will be together again. This life is our first step of progression towards returning to live with our family in heaven... May God watch over all of us!

I wish Heaven had a phone so I could here your voice again.
I thought of you today, but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.
I think of you in Silence, I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part.
God has you in his arms,
I have you in my Heart....
Love Always,

Friendship is perhaps one of the most beautiful relationships that two people can share. Friendship is about sharing each other’s opinions, dreams, fears, aspirations and hopes. Friendship is about engaging conversations, which go on and on as friends lose track of time. Friendship is about cherishing old memories of togetherness and creating new ones everyday. This past year has been very tough without my close friend Wes...There are days when I think about some of our good times together or even just hear a song that reminds me of you and I break down and cry. If that's not love then I dont know what is...I miss you every day bud.

Wes, I never knew anyone else like you and probably never will. You will always have a special place in my heart and will never be forgotten. Always smiling, you were and always joking. You lived life to its fullest with your vibrant personality. You called my 'Sweet Pea" and I loved it! Here's to you, Wes, I'll miss you.

Not a day goes by I don't think of you or something you said or did. I called you little General when you would get mad and it always made you laugh. I miss your wise cracks and smiling face. You will forever live in my heart as a true friend. Your legacy will never die. You touched some many and had no idea the impression you left apon them but you are admired and loved still to this day by most everyone that knew you or had the honor of meeting you. I love You and I got your back as always. Lynn & The Brier Patch kids

HI WES, DAD HERE I"M SORRY IT HAS TAKEN ME SO LONG TO WRITE TO YOU BUT YOU LEFT SO SUDDENLY I JUST HAVE NOT BEEN UP TO PUTTING MT THOUGHTS ON PAPER.
I MISS YA BUD - MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW - WE DID A LOT OF THINGS TOGETHER DURING YOUR SHORT LIFE HERE ON EARTH. YES, THERE WERE TIMES I WANTED TO KICK YOU IN THE REAR AND A FEW TIMES I DID - BUT THAT IS WHAT DADS ARE FOR.
I AM SO PROUD OF WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISHED, NOTHING WAS BEYOND YOUR REACH ONCE YOU SET YOUR MIND TO IT.
YOU HAD BOUGHT YOUR 6 ACRES AND TOOK US OUT AND SHOWED US WHERE YOUR NEW HOUSE WOULD BE IN ONE YEAR. AT THAT TIME YOU HADN'T SOLD YOUR OTHER HOUSE - I SAID TO YOU - YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE LOOKED PRETTY BLEAK. BOY, DID I EVER GET AN EARFUL OVER THAT REMARK FOR YEARS TO COME AFTER YOU DESIGNED AND BUILT YOUR MANSON IN ONE YEAR ON THE SIX ACRES YOU LOVED SO MUCH.
WHEN WE WERE LIVING IN MONTANA YOU WERE ABOUT 13 JUST OLD ENOUGH TO CARRY A GUN - WE WERE OUT ANTELOPE HUNTING - WE SPOTTED A HERD AND YOU BAILED OUT OF THE TRUCK WITH YOUR TRUSTY .243. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS WE THOUGHT WE HAD BETTER GO FIND YOU AND AFTER DRIVING THROUGH SEVERAL "COOLIES" THERE YOU WERE SITTING ON YOUR ANTELOPE. SOMEHOW, I KNEW WHEN YOU BAILED OUT OF THE TRUCK THAT ANTELOPE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE. YOU LOVED TO HUNT.
YOU LOVED PEOPLE AND IF ANYONE NEEDED HELP YOU WERE THE FIRST ONE TO SHOW UP.
YOU LOVED LIFE AND HAD SO MUCH TO GIVE TO YOUR FELLOW MAN.
YOU JUST FOUND A MOUNTAIN YOU COULDN'T CLIMB.
WELL SON, I COULD GO ON FOREVER BUT IT WOULD ONLY BREAK MY HEART EVEN MORE.
WE HAVE SPREAD YOUR ASHES EVERYWHERE WE GO - ST.AUGUSTINE AND DAYTONA BEACHES AND EVEN IN THE CARIBBEAN, THE OCEANS YOU LOVE SO MUCH.
WE ARE GOING TO PLACE A HEADSTONE IN THE MORRIS FAMILY PLOT SO FAMILY MEMBER AND FRIENDS CAN COME TO REMEMBER YOU. ALSO, MOM AND I WILL KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.
MOM AND I KNOW YOUR SAFE IN HEAVEN AND WE ARE NOT FAR BEHIND. SO GET US A TEE TIME AND I'LL TEACH YOU HOW TO GOLF AND YOU CAN TEACH ME HOW TO FISH. LOVE, DAD

Wes, I'll never forget when we first met; of course it was a serious incident to me that you turned into a comical moment that you never let me hear the end of. I will never be able to tell the story as well as you and won't even try. It was the beginning of a long great friendship where we seemed to repeat the same pattern- I took everything too seriously and you always made light of it and made fun of me in the best ways. Everybody you ever met knows the happiness you shared. I was fortunate to witness how you could lighten up anyone's face, from co-workers, to rock stars, to a politician from the 'other' side of the aisle, to a legendary football coach and his star players, to the building janitor (geez Wes, you totally made that man's birthday special), and dozens of complete strangers in between- you had a special gift. Everyone who ever met you knows what I'm talking about.
But it was the nickname you gave me, "Brother-in-Law", telling me that if we were any closer we'd be related, that I cherish the most. You were my faithful confidant, my personal consigliere! A lot of people didn't see the serious side of you. Your insight was sometimes surprising, always heartfelt, genuine and totally appreciated. I could count on you for an attitude adjustment. You had my back. I'll never forget the time you did not hesitate a bit and stood up for my wife, getting in the face of and backing a guy down who was literally twice your size. A lot of people took you as the practical jokester that you were happy to play, but I will always know the real metal that you were made of. True friends are hard to come by, thank you so much for being that friend and for all the great memories of the times we shared. I miss you so much. My family misses you. You'll never be forgotten.
"They say you can't take it with you, but I think that they're wrong
'Cause all I know is I woke up this morning, and something big was gone" -B. Springsteen
When they built you, little brother, they broke the mold.

There is not a day goes by the Wes is not mentioned by someone or thought of. We laugh every day about something he would have said or done had he been here. The entire Facilities Department misses him a great deal. He will always be loved and admired for his skills and quick wit that kept us on our toes. He is a good friend and is greatly missed by all that loved him.
Alfie Brown, Chris Oxendine asked me to post this for them and i do it with great honor.
