Each morning Wesley started his day with the serenity prayer –
“GOD grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference – Amen.”
Wesley was a member of Church of the Highlands and deeply rooted in his strong Christian faith. Wesley had a real interest in politics with a staunch belief in sound moral values. If politics or religion were ever brought up in a conversation he was glad to share his perspective and there was never any gray area with Wesley. Wesley worked alongside his grandfather and great uncle George in the family popcorn and concession supply business Heart of Dixie Popcorn & Supply. He also worked alongside his father for many years in the family home building business, Wal Bilt, Inc. Simultaneously he worked on the family farm, Pine Lawn Farm, where he developed his strong work ethic; which led him to start his highly successful lawncare business. He took great pride in his work and through this hard work along with his infectious personality he developed many friendships. He was unique in that he had a personality that drew people to him. He was one of the most non-judgmental people you would ever meet, always willing to lend an ear or help anyone in need, all while having a huge smile on his face. Wesley was a kind and gentle person and to know him was to love him. As a family we were the lucky ones. We got to have him with us for 38 years – 38 years of love, laughter and cherished memories. He is now safe in the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and we take great comfort as a family knowing that fact.
