Wes was born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley. He and Annette and their children moved from Rosemead, California, to Fillmore in 1991. Wes, being a very athletic person, was very happy to coach Justin and Shannon in their softball and Little League baseball teams throughout the years. He truly loved coaching the children and being involved in their lives. He also enjoyed attending Shannon’s cheerleading competitions and supporting her cheer squad. Wes was so very proud of Justin and Shannon. He loved the outdoors, fishing in lakes and the ocean. Hunting was also one of his passions. He and Justin fished and hunted together for many years. In his later years he joined the Castaic Bass Club and enjoyed fishing in tournaments in the local lakes and enjoying the company of all of the friends he made in the club. Wes will always be remembered as a wonderful husband and father. His family and friends will miss him and love him forever.
