Preceded in death by his daughter Carol Smith (2021), and granddaughter Heather Smith (1971). He is survived by his beloved wife of 77 years Mary Hughes Neill, his son David Neill and wife Gwen, and daughter Kathy Hayek. Granddaddy, as he was known by his adoring family, was blessed with 7 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Wes will be greatly missed and forever be remembered as someone who always had his priorities in order: Faith, Family, Service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Wes’s name to: Gambrell Street Baptist Church in Fort Worth where he was a Deacon for several decades.
