BEALE OPSAHL-ONG, MARCH 30, 2016 My prayers and heart goes out to the Ong family and Slade. Wesley was a great guy, who I got to hang out with in my early years of high school. He would light up a room instantly, a great personality and warm spirit, he will be missed. CLAYTON FLETCHER, MARCH 29, 2016 I am so sorry for your loss. Wesley was a wonderful person, and he will be missed. RYAN WHELESS, MARCH 29, 2016 Ill never forget the first time Wesley and I hung out for the first time. This would be the start of an awesome and deep friendship. Wesley really was one of a kind. We may not have been on best terms at all times and even grew very far apart a few times, especially in more recent years, but some how, for some reason through thick and thin we would just keep on coming back into each others lives whether it be a random two hour phone call or meeting up again to hang out like old times. He just understood me and I understood him and together we grew a ton from each other. He was there for me in my darkest times, always willing to help even when he needed help himself. He would be one of the only friends that continuously came to hang out with me and care for me when I was recovering from different surgeries. He cared for me as a friend more than I thought possible. I will never forget all of the times I would come over to spend the night with Wesley playing video games, playing soccer, wrestling or doing anything that sounded fun-- We almost always had fun. One thing I admired most about Wesley though was his ability to see the good in anyone, even when that good inside of someone was hidden deep. Through his help I met some amazing and also very interesting people that I wouldn't have met otherwise and that is one thing Wesley gave me that I am grateful for. I loved Wesley like a brother and looked up to you Tom, as a mentor and to the rest of the family as an extension of my own. I always believed in Wesley and wanted the best for him more than anything. I never gave hope in you Wesley but I know better than anyone, as harsh as the reality
of it is, that everything happens for a reason and I have no doubt that you are off in another world making an impact on yet another person as their angel from above. You and your family will forever and always be in my heart. To Tom, Lexi, Paula, Cynthia and Slade I want you to know that I am here for all of you and the rest of the family and wish more than anything that I could be there in support tomorrow. HANK BEASLEY, MARCH 29, 2016 Cynthia, Chase and Lexi, My thoughts and prayers are with you through this sad time. I am so sorry for your loss. RICK AND MARTHA COURIER, HEATH KENDRICK, MARCH 29, 2016 Offering sincere condolences and profound sympathy to the entire Ong family MICHAEL C J FALLON, MARCH 28, 2016 Tom, we are heartbroken for you and the rest of the family.

ROB AND PATTI, MARCH 28, 2016 My thoughts and prayers are with you all BRIAN, MARCH 28, 2016 Very sorry for your loss, words cannot express. TOM MURPHY, MARCH 28, 2016 Wesley was one of my first friends when I switched schools. I never had met someone like him before, who could and did get along with anyone and everyone in our class. It didn t take long for Wesley to become like another member of my family, with all the things good and bad that come along with it. And for a time there, I felt like I was a part of his I will always remember the trips where Wesley and his family were kind and generous enough to bring me along as their guest. Although we grew apart over the years, I will never forget the impact Wesley left on my life. He was one of the rare types of people that
was up for anything and everything, no matter how silly or dumb it was. Not just any friend would jump at the opportunity to glue chess pieces to a board and sneak it onto a roller coaster, but Wesley was that unique of a person. I was lucky to be close to someone so smart, kind and generous who was always there for me. I wish I could have said the same. ADAM SCHASEL, MARCH 27, 2016 Our prayers are with you and your family, Lexi. I'm so sorry. Much love!!!
