These were moments that brought him immense joy and peace, allowing him to connect with nature in its purest form.

As a person, Wesley was quiet and reserved but possessed a heart filled with kindness and compassion. He had a deep love for animals and cherished every moment spent with his furry companions. Whether it was taking long walks with his dogs or feeding the birds that frequented his backyard, Wesley found solace in the company of animals.
