He attended Texas Tech on a track scholarship where he studied business and broadcasting. He was sports directory at KBTX/KWTX television in the Bryan/Waco area and later worked with KPRZ radio in Brazosport as a broadcaster.
Wes was employed in industrial sales for the last 35 years for companies in the Houston, Texas City and Brazosport areas.
He enjoyed playing golf and participating in tournaments. He loved travel, flying and as a true "Coach's son" all sports. He loved working with his son "Robbie's" school activities including LJI choir trips and the Brazoswood golf team. He was active with Cub Scouts and served as Cubmaster at the LJ First United Methodist Church where he helped teach Sunday School. He traveled with his wife Carolyn's class on field trips with Ney Elementary and was always ready to help family and friends when needed.
Survivors include his wife of almost 33 years, Carolyn Eddleman, son, Robert Eddleman; his wife's parents, Leslie and Robert McClerkin, all of Lake Jackson; his sister, Janet Wommack and husband, Lee; niece, LeAnn Rothermel and husband, Ryan; nephew, Jim Edd Wommack and wife, Carmen, and four great-nieces; stepdaughter, Karyn Wilkes Jewell and grandchildren, Allie Riechers and Caleb Jewell.
