I'm fairly certain he's not actually affiliated with the brady campaign - just an elaborate troll. Don't waste your time. |

Before we get too off track - a post from a few years ago.
2013 WMD response Back a page on that thread, he talks about telling his kid about botany. And pets. 
I'll miss his posts. |

Hard to believe that a father allowed to "camp out" on his son's property would go and complain that the son was being loud, much less pull a gun on him I am trying not to judge but who was drunk (Wes) and who pulled the gun (his sober father)? That makes no sense  Ed, if I'm reading Victoria's post correctly, thats not the whole story. I know there is more to the story but the rest of it may be worse than we know

This is a ongoing investigation and the charges that were brought against Wes's dad right now are this is just so they could continue holding him. They are still getting more information and when they see there is enough proof he will be charged with stiffer charges which Is my hope. With this said Reta, Wes and I had talked at great lengths of your family. We really didn't have much because of his back he couldn't work so I was the sole provider for our family. We still wanted to give everything we could to help you out and elevate the some of the burden. We were deeply sadden when we heard of your loss. I would like to extend the same invitation that Wes did on scattering Jeff's ashes. I will take Wes's place so I will IM you and with my number and if you ever need someone to talk I am here for you. Victoria Stay strong,Victoria . My condolences to you and the children

We have started a go fund me page to help his family with funeral costs and other basic needs. Wes leaves behind a wife and 2 kids. The family had some outstanding medical bills and now have this. Please help them out with whatever you can. Anything is greatly appreciated. http://www.gofundme.com/7f3u3ueb3cb3 Striker Approved Done ... Team Ranstad |

Just wanted to chime in and say thank you to everyone who has posted and who has contributed. This means a lot to Victoria and the family. Our goal is to donate as much as possible to help them I. Their time of need. We are close to the goal but if we can surpass that, that would be even better.
Again Thank you and God bless. |

First I want to say to this is that there is really more to this story that what is really known. The coverage of this is full of half truths and speculation. With that, that is all I am going to say since like before this is an ongoing investigation. I really appreciate all of your concerns at this time. When I am able to I will give my story so that you are all in understanding of what went on that fateful night. It as a terrible senseless tragedy that didn't need to happen. What I will say was the last words that Wes and I spoke to each other was that he loved me and the children with all of his heart (This was just before his father barged into our house) and that I loved him just as much.
No worries of if I will be strong, I have to for my children's sake and mine for that matter. In our house I am the strong one, the one that Wes had to lean on. This is a very traumatic event that I witnessed one that I will for a long time play over in my mind. I am not a vindictive person just one who wants justice. I am overwhelmed by the love and support I have received from you guys something I wanted to make sure you knew didn't go unnoticed. This in its self is helping start the process of accepting and healing. I know that this will be a long journey for me and one that will have bumps along the way. I take comfort in knowing that I have the support of so may people that cared for my husband. Thanks you! |

Victoria,
We're glad to help in your Family's time of need and I'm glad to see that Arfcom has stepped up with donations. There aren't that many Montana Arfcommers, but I'm glad to see many sporting Montana flag avatars. |
