As for the fact that I am the only eye witness to the hole thing I would like to state you all of you that please do not believe everything you read in the news or even watch on TV. 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 Very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Eventhough I never met Wes face to face and my interaction was on a couple forums, he had a HUGE heart and and was a GREAT man! |

Good morning Victoria and all those feeling down. Today we lay a brother, one of our own to rest. I know he would be calling me out for crying.
But I will do some today. Every funeral I have been to,there has been a Collage of pictures and memory's written down. So combing the archives of a thread he frequented the Sa/oU I assembled one for Wes. It is a representation of his heart and humor. Some of his likes and dislikes. I like to call them Wesisums, just because his thoughts came across with his own style. So without further adue enjoy a little time with Wes. This will take some time to get up in full and there will be edits. So if you could hold off on any quoteing till I have it all down I would appreciated. Thank you all. Need ten min give or take. Red denotes non Wes text. IM TheRedGoat for that, my friend. OMG what a difference an apostrophe would make! aughhhh! Silent clown is still a clown. With that, I shall retard retire. bummed out that I'm not in Texas for brother Jeffry Reed's life celebration <COUGH!> California <COUGH!> Welcome. Do try the Crayola, we just got a fresh box and they're delicious The silly putty isn't bad. The play dough tasted like hand sweat. So like, I woke up. Then I... No, wait. Let me start over. Yeah. I was asleep. Then I woke up. Then like, you know, I just stayed awake. Then I remembered this thread and so, like, figured I'd... Oh, damn. I forgot what I was going to say. What did they use to say to me? "Boy, you're dumb as a POST". Oh yeah. So like I woke up, stayed awake and posted here. ETA: That's not overly accurate. I took a nap. So it's not like I can say I was awake all day Roger, roger. Got your vector Victor. I hard copy your copy right at 5x5. Over. (Yes, I'm wearing pants.) Well, I wasn't certain what you were pondering Terry. You could have left me to wonder Boy has recovered from cold, little girl taking on the crud. I have a massive headache. Yesterday I was pretty sure why. Today, not so much. Fuck it. I'm jumping. Did I mention I'm afraid of heights? I just might bruise myself I've taken the opportunity during the cold spell to try to get back into the grind and squirrel away all 5.56 brass once loaded. The brass from the good ol' days of domestic at ~$250/k OTD. Now it's more than that just for components. If I close my eyes and think real hard, I can almost remember what gunfire sounded like. Since MissB didn't call it... ALL YOUR PAGE 87 ARE BELONG TO US!Old timers here may recall the source for the poor grammars Does infamous = quasi- popular? Meh, he's got stoopid. He can have the seat with the puddle on it from that last kid that left and hasn't returned yet. It might still be warm ... I must say there's some delicate fellers in that thread. Oh, please don't tell mom I said that!  
DPMMN Posted  Wes Oh look the short straw lifer.
DPMMN Posted Wes There he goes again!
Mauser1 I still think it's funny as hell that spell check wants to correct dpmmn to Dopamine I-M-A-WMD I thought he was using dopamine and spellchecker? I'm so confused now. G' night. My lawd! What is it? There! UP THERE IN THE SKY!
Is it a UFO? A lemon? The front end of a golden laser beam? Oh, that's what the sun looks like? I vaguely remember Hope everyone's weekend goes well and those down with sickness get feeling better soon. Both kids have been coughing and hacking all week. I'm sooooooooo tired of hearing them sniffle and sucking snot instead of going for the tissues. SWMBO has it too and thinks she may be getting a sinus infection. This winter has been cold, long and windy and only compounded by being one marked with frequent bouts of illness that just hang on It's not your fault. It's not your fault. Say it with me now: It's not my fault. It's not my fault. It's not my fault... It's not your fault. (We still require someone to blame though) 
I knew I couldn't keep up these charades for long. I'm actually remarkably intelligent, I just don't choose to use it. I'm not lazy. I am however overly thrifty with my exertions. And, AND- I do have like, 5 friends. Not certain if that makes me popular Only one recently joined the board. So.... I either need an official re-welcome here or, you can excommunicate me. Your choice. Must I remind you though, beggars can't be choosers? One things for sure, I use emoticons & animations too much and am extremely familiar with "TL;DR". That has to count for something, right? WMD So What I Didn't Think? Seems redundant or perhaps redundant... Ohio I am reporting you to the Department of Redundancy and Repetition Department. WMD Dude that's like, harsh. You can say that again! (X2) Dude that's like, harsh.
It's ok, WMD Sly is going to be my friend! Up to 1 now I'm dumb enough to allow "a pet for the family" to mysteriously turn into three cats and two dogs over the course of a couple of years. Now if getting new pets were as much fun as making more kids- I guess I wouldn't have so much to complain about. I'm totally outnumbered now Me again as a avid hunter I found one of his elk pictures. Plus his opinion on a certain firearm. . 
Okay I hope you enjoyed some time with Wes and how he was and still is pain free I really hope angles get his humor.
As alway have a nice day. Goodby old friend.

I'm not sure exactly what to say. First thing I will say is I don't have a way with words like my brother Wes. The amount of love and support the members on this site have shown my family especially Vic and the kids is tremendous. I knew my brother touched a lot of people (not that way) but WOW. WMD, as I will try to refer to him on this site from now on, always asked me if I was a member of ARFCOM yet. Sadly I wasn't until today . Another regret I have since losing my brother. I've only read two topics that were about WMD and it's taken me close to 2 hours. I'm sure when I search for anything posted by WMD this could be one of the only sites I ever go to again since wouldn't have time for anything else. For today all I really wanted to say was thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. This whole situation still doesn't feel real to me and not sure if it ever will.
On a side note if someone could send me a link with the Montana avatar with his # on it so I could use it as mine that would be awesome. |

I wish it was under better circumstances, but know that we're here for you and your family. You'll need a Team membership in order to display your brother's avatar. So...log out and then log back in and you should be all taken care of. I'm sure one of the guys from the Montana forum or one of the moderators can get you the avatar pic. |

Thank you Repairman_Jack |

Welcome to the forum Lil Bro,good to see you here. If you want to fly the Avatar with the state and his # just right click save as on mine and upload it to your profile from your saved/download file
BTW It was good talking with you the other night I wish it was under different circumstances I will be in Billings late friday night and am taking Victoria and the kids to the fair. Hopefully you Tothemax and Mtsniper can join us or at least meet up for a beer. Check your Im's (little blue envelope top left of your screen) I will send you my cell #.

Welcome WMDs LIL BRO I am very sorry for the loss of your brother. I had every intention of meeting him face to face last summer while I was in MT. He was a hoot and a great guy on the forums. We've had several IM's (as did many many others) back and forth and I can only imagine what it would have been like hanging out with him for a day. A day has not gone by that I have not thought of him and his family. R.I.P. Wesley |

| Yeah my oldest brother and I went camping this past weekend with our Uncle Brian up out of Belgrade. I enjoy camping from time to time but not as much and WMD (did) and Eldon (oldest of us 3) does. For most of the trip I just kept thinking about how I should have done this more often with WMD and Eldon and our uncle. We were starting a Sindelar men yearly camping trip during Memorial day weekend. Last year was the first of many to come. It was WMD, his boy Randall, oldest brother Eldon and our Uncle Brian and myself. The man that I use to call dad was suppose to be there but didn't go. This year's trip got postponed until I think September since Memorial Day weekend this year was rainy and cold and even this past weekend it got pretty damn chilly in the middle of the night and it's August! Everyone was set to go this year though. Not real sure how I feel about that tradition anymore since WMD is no longer with us. Nor the man who was my father since that man is now a stranger to me. But I need to stop dwelling on the wishes and just remember my brother as he was. The greatest man I knew! |

Lil Bro,
Welcome aboard, Bro. I was fortunate enough to have quite a few phone and text conversations with Wes, and that man could keep you in stitches. Some of the off the wall shit he would come up with would blow your mind! You have our sincerest condolences on the loss of your Brother. He was a brother to some of us as well, a Brother who will be sorely missed. If there is anything you, Victoria or the kids need, please don't hesitate to ask. |
If you haven't already, please support the LBJ Warrior Fellowship and Hunt! Next year's event will likely have one of my Marines attending!

| You couldn't have said that better little brother. Wes was truly a great man that at times almost seemed larger than life. Things definitely will not be the same with WMD around here, or even in our personal lives. He was truly a great man with a great heart. His quick whit and elegant way with words will be one of the many things that I my self will miss. He would have been so happy to see that you joined even under the circumstances. These are guys are great and will treat you right. |
