Wes was one of my first friends in Nashville when I moved here in 2017. We met at WCU and have been friends ever since. I can’t believe it. I am completely in shock and can’t believe I won’t talk to him next week. We talked weekly about our future plans and what was going on in the world. I’ll miss you my friend. Keep watch over us all.
