I met Wes through Foothills Fellowship. Week after week for many years he was there to offer the perfect balance between giving me a hard time and encouraging me to keep getting better. Wes is no doubt a contributing factor in the person I am today, and I am so very thankful for the opportunity to have known him and the time he invested in me. Thank you, Wes, and our thoughts and prayers are with the Lowe family.
