Wes was a humble man, often overlooked by those who did not know him; his intelligence was often hidden by his humility. He took in three grandchildren later in life to raise, all of them proud that they were raised by him for the time they were, one commented, "He's just always been supportive, always made sure we had what we needed, even when it was not easy; he never stopped supporting us." Wesley believed in tough love, something that often takes a long life to appreciate if you are the target of that love, but it is a love that builds character and pushes for the learning of wisdom, truth, and a strong faith. Wesley was a great man of faith and walked a quiet witness; his friends were of a quality that only a Godly man could boast of. If he connected with you, you had a best friend for life. Those who knew him are better for having known him.
