John Echols wrote a sympathy message

“I really enjoyed coaching and hanging with Wes. I first met him when I pulled up in his driveway to convince him to join Scott Richie and myself in coaching the Benton American Legion Baseball team. It took a little convincing but once we started I think he had as much fun as I did. He was very instrumental in coaching the pitchers and helping develope another Benton native Cliff Lee. Under Wesley's tutelage the team had several players to go on to play either pro or college baseball. R.I.P.”
