Wes was born in Rifle Colorado in 1958 to parents Tom and Betty. He spent most of his life in the Grand Junction area, settling in Clifton in 1995.
Wesley was kind, loving, and generous with an infectious laugh. He found joy in spending time with friends and family, traveling, playing the slots, and the occasional wine toast with loved ones. He was an avid photographer on family trips, and especially loved making videos that he would share with family and friends. Wesley’s passing has left a void in the hearts of his close friends and family, and he will be greatly missed.
Wesley was preceded in death by his father, Tom Hayes; mother, Betty (Green) Hayes and brother Wade Hayes. He is survived by his brother Michael, aunt Rheta (Hayes) Gordon, uncle Ron Hayes, and several cousins.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Martin’s Mortuary on November 20, 2021 at 1:00pm.
