Wes was really amazing. He always spoke with the words that were the hardest to understand. But he was very smart. In science he was in my group and he was so fun to talk to. I listen to the video that he sent me of him singing "too close" everyday. It brings so much comfort to hear his voice. He was so fun to watch when he played the piano. He played it so beautifully and made no mistakes playing it. I've gotta stay strong and know that he is in a better place. And I have to know that this isn't goodbye, we will see him again. He was such an inspiration. This summer isn't going to be the same with out him and his glowing personality. He will always be with us. Maybe not physically but he will always be here. I am trying to come to terms with that. Miss you Wes sooooo much. Can't wait to see you again.

I found this on my Facebook news feed, and my heart broke. I did not know your son or family, but any loss of life is a loss to humanity as a whole. There are no words. May we all be mindful of the diversity that exists among our friends and community and embrace all. This is a message that all families must share at the dinner table. Life is so challenging for young adults, and we must all teach on another acceptance, tolerance, and love for all. May your family feel the comfort of God's embrace, as you fave these incredibly difficult days, and may Jon awaken the heavens with his piano and the choir of angels. I did look at his video's that are available online - absolutely amazing. His playing was so beautiful, that I found it comforting and peaceful.

I'm so sorry for his loss, even though I didn't meet him in person, a couple of my friends go to Mountain Ridge and they knew him. when they told me about his loss, I was saddened at heart. I go to American Fork Junior, and everyone has been talking about Wes, and everyone dressed up in Sunday dress just so people can remember him. rest in peace, Wes. xx

I am so sorry for your loss. The videos of Wes playing piano are incredible. He was extremely talented. It's a shame others felt the need to bully him. Peace be with you all.

Oh my. Words cannot express my heartfelt sorrow for anyone that knew this bright, amazing soul. I don't know you. I didn't know Wes. I found this randomly scrolling through Facebook. He is my son's age, so I connected immediately. He is handsome and bright.
I was taken aback enough to search his name in Google, and found several videos if him playing piano. I've played for twenty years, and he was far better than I am. That doesn't come without a deep love and respect for music. I cried for this loss of his family, his friends, and the world.
I'm truly touched by his story. I struggled at his age. I'm deeply, TRULY sorry for your loss. He seemed so vibrant and amazing. You're truly blessed to have had him in your lives and hearts. I wish I knew him. My heart is with you, completely.

So very sorry for your loss. I have taught junior high for over 20 years and I know it can be such a difficult time for kids-- . I see that he was a beautiful soul. Loved listening to his piano pieces on Youtube. I am sure he touched many lives with his talent, kindness, and goodness. I feel very certain that he never hurt anyone-- only a giver of love and goodness.

Kevin and Mary~
I see my fellow Angel Mama Karen Peterson has beaten me here today; she and I are just a few of many mothers who have lost a child of their own that try hard to be there for others who are newly experiencing the profound loss of a child.
I know you do not know me but I wanted to reach out to you to let you know that you are not alone. There is something about this tragedy that bonds people almost immediately and I truly hope you will not hesitate to contact me if you ever need someone to speak with who is able to relate to this nightmare you are now living. I lost my son Ryan Joel in 2011 in Idaho and have worked hard to create a support network of Angel Moms and Dads ever since.
I am so deeply sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful child. I wish I could say something magical that would take this pain from you but the truth is that isn't possible. I can say though that you can survive this...one day.....one hour....5 minutes at a time; just break it down to whatever incriment of time you can manage at the moment. Please know that there are many of us who care!
Much love and light~

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. The circumstance is so very sad and so tragic. (I don't know you or your sweet son) but from reading the prior comments, I hear that he is a very gifted, kind young man that any parent would be so delighted with and I'm sad for how you and your family are feeling. Also hearbroken that some children are taught to be cruel and not kind and accepting. Sending you love.

I learned of the tragic death of your precious son today, and my heart breaks for you. People can be enormously cruel in this world, and your son was a musician---a gifted composer. Sensitive, creative people are often bullied and mistreated. He was holy. Many of us send our love and support to you and your family all the way across this nation. Let us embrace those who are different, gifted, special---even in ways that some may not agree. He is whole now---he is holy. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that the precious ripples of his life are felt all the way across the country---especially in Maine.

I don't have the pleasure of knowing your family and I know that words can't even begin to relieve the tremendous grief you're feeling right now, but know that you are not alone & that others understand the indescribable pain you're currently enduring. Please do not hesitate to reach out for support--whether it's to those around you or organized support groups. You will eventually get to a point where days can again make sense and contain brightness and joy; I know it doesn't seem that way in this moment, but it does come with time. Meanwhile, I hope and pray for nothing but peace for you and that you can find great comfort in the tremendous memories you undoubtedly have of your beloved Wes. My heart truly goes out to you.

My son goes to Mountain Ridge. He was Wes's friend. He had a couple of classes with him and sometimes they ate together at lunch. My son was very heartbroken and in tears when he found out how he passed away. He said said Wesley always joked, was nice to everyone, always made others laugh. My son said he was smart, talented, and was in a school play. He also said he played the piano very well. He will miss Wes greatly. I know he will always remember him. He was a positive influence in my son's life. May your family find peace and comfort at this time. Bless your family.

My main memory of Wes goes back to right after he was born. I was thrilled to be able to hold him and help care for him. He was born after you moved from across the street from us so I didn't get to know him as well as all of you. Grateful for visits to your other Orem house and in Springville. Lots of love and prayers going your way from us.

Wes sincerely cared about others around him, he never showed any hate towards anyone. When I met him I knew nothing about him, and he right away made me laugh and love him. He helped me through so many things in my life and I will forever be grateful. I hope he is in a paradise, if anyone deserves it, it is Wes. Rest in Peace bud.
