Wesley attended Mt. Ararat High School (Topsham), MCI Academy (Pittsfield), and graduated from Milford Academy (New Berlin, N.Y.). He attended a training school in Scotland for operating ROVs and enjoyed his time there exploring and meeting people.

As a child, Wesley enjoyed his time as an island boy swimming and fishing at the wharf, going to the beach and riding bikes. Spending part of his summers and vacations in Quimby with his Nanny and PopPop whether it be swimming, fishing, sledding or snowmobiling were some of his best childhood memories. Playing baseball and football was a passion of his and a huge part of his growing up. He met many wonderful friends along the way.

As an adult Wesley enjoyed football, disc golf, landscaping/gardening, cornhole, and spending time with his friends and family. He will be fondly remembered as “Dude” to his niece and nephews. His daughter, Harper, was the light of his world, he did everything he could to make sure she was living her best life.
