To all of Wesley's family my heartfelt condolences for your loss. I remember the Bryant family as neighbors on their farm from our childhood so many years ago. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. My heart breaks as well.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand

Deepest sympathies to Wes's family. I had the opportunity meet Wes through softball and we played together for many, many years. I cherish those times. He was a good teammate, good friend and a good man. Rest well, Wes.

Extremely sad news. Wes was a good friend all through high school and I enjoyed running around with him and knowing his family. I talked with him last year, and was saddened to hear of his health issues. Sam Robb
