A really good man has gone home. Amy, deepest sympathy to you and all of your family.
Amy and Glenn, Wes is a member of our family and will always be remembered as a member of our family. We have great memories we will call on when we need to feel better about life and need to put a smile on our face. My brother Bobby, Spony to Wes, had one of life’s greatest treasurers in his friendship with Wes. And, it was a treasure Bobby shared with us. The Sponenberg family loved him and his family and pray for God’s peace to be with you and family in the days ahead and for the rest of your lives. God bless.

Amy and Glen and Family,
What good memories I have of Wes and you all as being neighbors. You know how much we loved you all. Mama and daddy thought the world of you. There are so many funny antics of Wes and daddy and how much your friendship meant. Of course Wes and daddy could get into trouble at times. I’ll never forget the dirt bikes accident they had. They were trying to show off!! Wes was so nice to us and you all were great neighbors. May the peace of Christ be with you! Love, Cathy

remembering Wes with fond memories and our condolences to the family
Amy and Glenn-I am deeply saddened to hear of your great loss. Wes was always smiling and full of fun. He was always the same whether I just saw him yesterday or five years ago. We shared alot of laughs when I worked with Amy and Wes worked across the street at the bank. To know Amy was to know Wes. My heart is with one of the nicest families I have ever known.
My love to you-

Wes was always such a happy, friendly classmate who was loved by all.

Amy and Glenn,
I’ve been thinking of you both this week and about what an important friend my dad had in Wes. I’ve been remembering all the cookouts they worked on together, and the Wes and Spony high school stories that were revealed on those occasions. Our whole family has happy memories because of that friendship. Wes was a warm, funny, and welcoming person, and a kind godfather to me. We will all miss him.
