On April 12, 2010, Wes joined a group of men from Grace Baptist Church in what became the greatest venture of his life as the team went to Honduras and helped to build a church. He never tired of talking about that trip. Surviving family and friends will miss him greatly. Funeral Services were held at Grace Baptist Church in Chino Valley on February 5, 2013 with interment at Chino Valley Cemetery following the service. Hampton Funeral Home was entrusted with the arrangements.
