He was a member of First Baptist Church Roanoke. He was an avid enthusiast of the Queen of Steam 611 and Bigfoot Monster Truck. Wes, a grilling and smoker extraordinaire, was a master of the grill. Anyone who was fortunate enough to taste his food knew he was a gifted cook. One of Wes’s favorite pastimes was going to Morehead City, N.C.
