After years of friendship and missed connections with Rosalee, their timing fell into place and he married his love in 1984. They lived together in Sugar Land, TX for 23 years. In 2008 Wesley was able to live out his dream of buying a farm where he planted a pecan orchard in Sealy, TX. Together they raised two children and became grandparents in January 2020.
Anyone who knew Wesley knew that he was the most loving father and spouse a family could ask for. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Rosalee “Rosy”, his two children, Rachel (Spouse: Ryan), and Jonathan (Spouse: Morgan), and granddaughter Elena. He also leaves to cherish his memory three siblings, Cindy, Dennis, and Dianna, along with several cousins, nieces, and nephews. Wesley was preceded in death by his father, “Soap”, his mother, Opaline, and his brother, Wayland.
Wesley had a 30 year career with Volume Millwork, an architectural millwork company specializing in the aviation industry. A profession that introduced him to many faces and airports nationwide, where he never met a stranger. Wesley was known by all to have a big heart and an unforgettable smile. He was selfless, cheerful, generous, strong, and the energy in the room – full of stories that brought heartfelt laughs. He was happiest in the kitchen making a pie or out manning the grill. He had a passion for tinkering with a few too many projects, a green thumb for planting anything with seeds, and a never-ending urge to drive around on the tractor. Wesley taught his children to appreciate life. He was always there to fix a problem, teach them how to perfect a DIY, and he took great pride in stocking their tool boxes and garages.
