Wes went to high school in El Dorado, KS. In his younger years, he worked in the automotive field and loved rebuilding hot rods. Wes dedicated more than 25 years at Boeing Aircraft Company as a Lead Inspector, sometimes even traveling to Germany for inspecting new machines.

Great grandkids, Grayson Hutson; Isla Hutson; and his brother Russell Carleton (Elaine).

After his retirement, Wes enjoyed going to Nascar races, fishing, football games, and going to the casino. Our dad was an all-around Mr. Fix It who taught us a lot of life lessons when we were growing up. He wasn't perfect, but we knew that he loved us. He was a good provider and did what he could with what he had after dealing with his own losses. A memorial service will be held at a later date amongst family and friends.
