As a teenager and into his twenties he quickly learned and thrived in the restaurant industry in the Kansas City area. In 2018, Wes relocated to join the love of his life, Courtneigh Hargis and Henry in Oklahoma City, OK. There, he was employed by Hideaway Pizza, where he quickly rose to a manager role because of his strong leadership skills and attention to detail. In the final months of his life, Wes bravely battled a cancer that overtook his body at the same time he even more bravely mended past hurts, made up for missed opportunities, and savored as much time as he could with loved ones. Wesley will be remembered as a proud dad of Henry, a loving partner to Courtneigh, and for the way he could fill a room with his easy smile. Before his death, he requested that no memorial service be held. Those who wish to honor him may do so with a donation to the American Kidney Fund.
