RIP Brother, I remember the first time I met you in 2008 and how energized you were ready to take on any challenge. You helped me keep the other 38 Airman in line by leading by example. It was an honor to serve with you. I send my prayers to your family. MSgt Jordan

Jackie I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son, unfortunately I never had the privileged of meeting Wesley but felt I knew him somewhat from the pictures and stories of his life you proudly shared with me. The loss of a child is the most horrific thing to have to endure, there will always be that empty chair. It's OK to cry, scream, be mad, above all keep sharing his life with friends & family. You will get through this and someday even smile at your beautiful memories. Call anytime I'm a pretty good listener and do know how you are feeling. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family. Wilma Renyer
