Brian Wesley was like a brother to me. We met Jr year of High School in UT after both living in AR… it was destiny. We were instant friends, we went through school, heart breaks, family dynamic's together. He always knew how to make me laugh and had the most sarcastic thing to say at the right time. He was always there for me when I needed him. I will forever feel his love and hold the best memories of him in my heart. The only way I can accept this loss is to know his heart is now free and Bill is galavanting through heaven with him. Thank you Wes for the phone call and spending time with me on New Years Eve!! I am eternally grateful for our time together in this life time. My condolences to the Family. We lost a beautiful amazing charismatic friend, brother, uncle, son. I love you Wesley!!!
