Heartfelt condolences to family, friends, and PPD during this time. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
The Gift
They walk a beat of concrete and stone,
they drive through the city in a car alone.
They swallow their pride,their prejudice, and grief.
they deal with all kinds from preacher to thief.
Sometimes they get weary, from fighting this fight,
To punish the wrong and defend the right.
Defending a sacred creed and code,
of freedom and justice, they bear the full load.
You don't ever see them for what's deep inside,
The pain, the anger, or the many tears they've cried.
For you, for me, and others in fear,
Seldom a "Thank- you," do they ever hear
If you could look at their heart, just once,
You would see;
Their own life is the gift given to you and me.

Wes,

You were a groom at my wedding and I still remember sitting in the room before the wedding started and you said, "don't be nervous you'll be alright". Wes, don't worry you'll be alright. Wes lost his mother a few months before I lost my mother which brought us closer together. We had many discussions about life and death. I know from these discussions Wes was a christian. Therefore, I have no doubt he is guarding the gates of heaven. I worked with Wes at Wise County and have to say I know he was a great officer and will never be forgotten. Ashley, may God be with you and your children and know that you can call on any of us from the old group at Wise County for you help. Love Y'all

Much like St. Michael is the protector of police, Wes is the protector for all of us.

"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."

Godspeed my brother, we will take it from here.

Wes,
God Bless You as you join Him in Heaven, where you'll never know sadness. You were a blessing to those of us who knew you and we will always remember you.

Ashlee,
You and the girls are in my prayers constantly. God will bring you His strength and peace in this difficult time. As you must live on without your dear Wes, I pray you will know he is safe now and you will be together again one day.

I knew Wes and his wife Ashlee for almost 7 years. They were my next door neighbors. I grew very close to Ash and their girls Cora and Caitlyn. You never knew a sweeter little family. I missed them so much when they moved a few months ago. And now my heart is breaking for her and their families. When I was a single woman living all alone in the country with my kids, Wes or Ash would come over at the drop of a hat. Thats just the kind of man he was: quiet, but kind and giving. I felt safer with him around, and now life out here will never be the same. Our whole community is grieving his loss.The guys at the volunteer PD are in disbelief. AS a community, we pray for Ashlee's comfort, that God will be so close to her and the girls. Sincerely- Jennifer Lokey

When our sons & daughters make the decision to become police officers, we the parents soon realize that we feel strongly protective of and forever connected to ALL our children in blue. We are proud and honored to be a part of this special family. Few civilians TRULY realize, that every single day when you go to work, you are willingly putting your very lives on the line, in order that the children, women & men you protect and watch over, can feel a little safer in their homes, on the streets, and in their communities. It takes a SPECIAL kind of heart to dedicate yourselves to law enforcement and become a police officer. And yet somehow, you always find the time to let your wives, husbands, children, parents, and friends, know how much you love them, need them, and cherish their support. Police Officers are, in every sense of the word, amazingly unselfish HEROES! The wives & husbands of Police Officers are equally amazing and unselfish.

Over the past few days Wes, we have come to know you on a very special level, and have learned how deeply you were, and always will be, loved and admired by so very many people of all ages...the greatest loves of your life being, of course, your precious wife and twin baby girls. We pray for Ashlee & the girls to always be able to feel your loving presence, and know in their hearts that Daddy will be watching over them and loving them, forever & always.

You gave your life trying to protect the lives of others Wes. There is no greater sacrifice. You will be forever remembered as one of "the good guys". We are comforted by the knowledge that your sweet wife and daughters will be carefully and gently looked after on your behalf by your brothers and sisters in blue. So, rest in the arms of our Lord sweet "son", until you are all reunited again for eternity. And thank you from the bottom of our hearts Wes...for everything!

God bless and keep you all...GBNF

Words will never be able to express how heavy our hearts are over the loss of Wes. He was a great husband, Dad and role model for all of us. He will be missed by all of us, but I know that as Wes said goodbye to us, he was saying hello to his Mom, Nancy, when he arrived in heaven.

Thank you Wes for leaving us with memories that we will always have with us, and for your sweet gentle spirit.

Ashlee, please know that we are praying for you and the girls and we love you all.
