Dear Suen family,
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Wes was a good friend to my former husband and always brought laughter to our home. Over the years I would occasionally run into him and he would tell me about his children. He was very proud of them and obviously loved them dearly.
May he now rest in peace.

It has taken me a few days to come up with the words to express how sorry I am to hear of Wes' passing. He was one man that I thought was invincible and would live forever. Can't believe he is gone. I will always remember the laughter in his voice and the way his laughter sparkled in his eyes. My thoughts and prayers for peace and understanding are with you all.

To the Suen family, Wes and I go way back to Junior High as well through High school. He was always a joy to be around, during your worst times he always seem to put a smile on your face. I can remember it just as it was yesterday seeing him walk through the halls at school and not a one person went by Wes,
that wasn't spoken to or made laugh. Wes was a fun loving person and will be truly missed........ RIP and RIL my dear friend till we all meet again. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.

Wes, There was never a time you did not make me laugh! When I moved away, you always asked my dad about how my son Chris and I were doing. Whenever I came home, we'd always pick up like the time in between never happened. We'd known each other since Junior High and I will miss you my friend. My condolences to your family especially your children. May God watch over them all. Gina

To the Suen Family, loved ones and friends of my one time Brother In Law. My sympathies goes out to each and every one of you during this time of grief. But, "weeping may endure for a night, but Joy will come in the morning". Wes and I served in the Marines together for a brief moment in time. He was the one who taught me how to bowl. He will be missed. You all will be in my prayers during this time. Remember, the Joy of the Lord is your Strength. Hold on to each other in Love, Joy and Peace. You will make it through. May God Bless you all.

Uncle Wayne,

I will always remember Wes's smiling face and his happy-go-lucky attitude. May the good times you had with him help you to make it through this heart-wretching time. Remember that death is temporary, for it is only the gateway to the glorious life God had promised us in heaven.

I met Wes in high school after a track meet. He and his friends were hilarious to me. We all became friends instantly. We lost contact over the years. Ironically we ran into each other at our children's track meet. Same smile same silly boy. Wes you will be missed. To his family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. May the Peace of God rest on your hearts.

Wesley I watched you and your brothers grow up at your restaurants in the Heights and at Tanglewood. I even got engaged in the Tanglewood restaurant. You, your mother and father and your brothers were so much a part of our lives. We will miss you. Tell Gene I said " hello".

I will miss you, Wes! We were friends when I was very young, growing up in Little Rock, and my family had gone to dinner many times to your father's restaurant in the Heights, The Polynesian. Although, we lost touch by the time we went to different high schools, I've thought about you often over the years and always hoped you were doing well. My thoughts and prayers are now with your family.
