Since coming to Bright we hold many fond memories of shared happy times with Wes – RIP

Don & Topsy Milne shared

Wes’ strong faith in an awesome God is inspirational. Well done good and faithful servant.

Warren Hodge shared

Condolences to the Rodgers family at this sad time – yet knowing where Wes’ faith was leading him. Thanks to Wes for his dedicated ministry to so many people over so many years. Wes and Rita were one of the first couples to warmly welcome us to Bright which is a warm and abiding memory for us. Wes also found ways to encourage us and others we know. It was always terrific to run into Rita and Wes in town and share a laugh. Love to Rita and all the family at this time – Warren & Raelene Hodge.

Greg and Samantha Hull shared

Wes was more than our friend, he was our adopted Popsy and our inspiration. Many years ago Wes and Rita added our names to their family prayer list, and we have been blessed by their friendship and love. We will miss his spiritual guidance, humour and Irish accent lessons. He was the best of men and we look forward to seeing him again in paradise. We send our love to Rita (Mumsy) and the family. Xxx

Andrew Banks shared

My time with Wes and Rita was short, but rich with laughter and wise council. If I needed a lift, a laugh, or some loving, I could always find them at the bakery mid-morning or afternoon. Moments I will always treasure. A life truly lived in the service of our Lord. All my love to Rita and family.

John & Joslyn Mauchline shared

A wonderful Christian gentleman, it has been an honour to know him.
