I really don't have it in me to say much more at this point. Fellow arfcomer and very good friend WMD has passed. They say grown men shouldn't cry but I am sitting here staring at the screen in tears and I really don't know what to say. The news of his passing has left me shocked and saddened beyond words. Such a tragic and unfathomable event has taken him from this world and left those that have been blessed with his friendship at a loss. His unique and often hilarious presence in my life will be truly missed,your troubles are behind you now Brother, rest in peace my friend and keep a cold one on ice for me for when we meet again. http://billingsgazette.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/man-jailed-on-suspicion-of-negligent-homicide-in-ballantine-shooting/article_754b990b-fe2a-584a-8831-cad05afabb3d.html Tothemax the Montana hometown forum mod is going to reach out to Striker and see if we can get a fundraiser going to help out his wife and two children (approx 8 and 6 years old) |

Farewell Brother, I am saddened that we never met... merely chatted. You were one of the good ones, Wes. Until we meet on the other side... God willing. Kujoe |

Wes, I think it's been two weeks since we talked. Man you really saved my ass when my depression hit.
Your level head and kind words helped more than you could ever know. I thought I would lose my legs but your back story's really gave me perspective. Pain was known to us both. We both dealt with it. Mine almost got the better of me and I had dark thoughts. But you gave me perspective and reminded me of what I should be doing and handling things.You gave me life I forgot I had. I have noticed everyone you came in contact with was better off having known you. There were quite a few. As a gun scribe it gave us a lot of lighthearted stuff to talk about also. You have patience and wisdom that have helped many around here. You really never hustled anyone I know off the phone. If they had problems you were there to help. I really wish this was a IM or PM whatever. But sadly it is not to be. Your wide array of friends are still here for you. I can't call you now but WE are here for you and your family. Goodby Wes it was a pleasure and blessing knowing you. Your friend I miss you already. J |

Farewell Brother Wes.
I have a LaRue lower because of you. I just got it too. What was going to be a fun gun has now become a tribute to your life and the generosity that you bestowed on me. I am forever grateful. You will be missed dearly. Godspeed. |

So as not get everyone confused This is the Wife Victoria of our beloved brother who was so senselessly taken from all that knows and loved him. As I sit here sleepless tonight I wanted you to all know With the help of a good friend I was able to get into this form that I know Wes had so frequently visited. Currently this is all that I have of trying to reach out to all that he knew since I am not able get into his e-mail and or his phone (taken until further notice but as soon as I am able to get it back I would love to reach out to the one he talked with on a personal level). I am not certain at to how I need to get to the personal numbers or e-mails from those of you out there that he did talk to like that I would appreciate some advice. At this time just knowing all that you guys has done for him and his family will not go unnoticed. M1awolf You in particular, I now he talked to very much and I have had the great pleasure to personally meet. As to all the rest of you who have come to be a part of him my thoughts are with you also in my sorrow that racked my loving family.
For now there has yet been a date set as to when I will be able to get him back to do a funeral, but will be more than happy to keep you informed a to what is happening. I am not able to at this time to go into detail as to what truly when wrong that dreadful night and truly am not willing to tell it yet in my grief since I was the only eye witness to this horrible tragedy, lucky for me my 2 wonderful children were spared the sight but unfortunatly not sounds. |
