Wesley Patterson III was born February 18, 1989 to Wesley Patterson Jr. and Robin Nicholson.

Wesley was born and raised in Blythe, CA. He moved to the Coachella Valley where he started his family of 6 boys, 1 girl.

Wesley had a love for the Lord Jesus Christ. He sang in the choir as a child, played the keyboard in church as an adult. He was praising and worshiping the Lord the day before he perished.

Wesley was always smiling. He had a distinctive laugh. If you really knew him, all you would have to do is think of him and that laugh. You would never forget that laugh.

His hobbies were jogging all over Blythe, Ehrenberg, and the Coachella Valley. He was very talented in drawing. He loved to eat. He was always hungry. He would share his last with anyone. He enjoyed helping feed the community.

He had a love for his mother. He could not thank her enough for being there for him with doctor’s appointments, hospital stays, and just the care she gave him.

Wesley was preceded in death by his Dad, Wesley Patterson Jr.; Grandpa A.C. Nicholson; Grandma Joann Murphy; Grandma Mattie Nicholson; Aunt Mary Campbell; Aunt Chron Guy; cousins Christopher Cross and Joseph Armstrong; Kenneth Campbell, Jeremy Robinson; niece Malaysia Taylor.
