DOB: July 25, 1955

DOD: March 31, 2025

Survived by daughter Mandy Craig (Mike), son Bobby Altum, grandchildren Katelyn Stahly (Brome), Erin Zinn, Alex Altum, Jett, Jeffrey Craig (Bailie), Preston Craig (Kayla), great grandchildren Dawson, Emersyn, Warren, and Liam, along with siblings Donnitta Warren, Ed Altum, Tom Altum (Angela), Bill Altum (Renita), and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Proceeded in death by his spouse Barbara Smith, son Dustin Altum, brothers Glenn, Joe, Gene (brother in law), and his mother Leotta and father Don.

In Wes’ spare time, he enjoyed spending time with his family. You could often find him out fishing or hunting, playing poker with his brothers, nephews, cousins, and friends, at the casino (never winning big unfortunately — so he claimed), trapping opossums and neighborhood cats — keeping a tally of what he caught on the back shed, and letting them loose to see another day, watching old westerns at a very loud volume, and enjoying a beer with his family at his daughters house watching the grandkids, great grandkids, and dogs run amuck. He also had a heavy green thumb when it came to gardening, made the best salsa with all homegrown food, and was a pro at canning okra and pickles. It was rare to get him to take a photo, but the memories he made with his family will forever be cherished. And no one ever left his house with an oatmeal cream pie or a dum dum sucker to snack on.
