About
All About Wesley
He came from a big family he was one of ten boys born to John and Opal Davenport. He had one sister Frances who died as an infant. There was Thomas, Johnny, Frankie,Bobby,Harry, Allen, Ronnie, Ricky, and Timmy. I know they all love automobiles. Working on them , Racing them and collecting them. Coming from a big family like his I am sure there was always enough love to go around and they were all close.He spent most of his life time in the mechanic business. Wheather it was working on big rigs or trucks and cars. There wasn't anything he couldn't fix. He truly had a God given talent for mechanics. He had a real love for it. And how many people get to do what they love for a living, but he did. He met , Lillian Cheek when he was just 13 years old and they got married at age 17 and later on had four kids. Two boys...Dwayne and Jeff and two girls Patricia and Vickie. He had nine grandchildren and two step grandchildren when he died and now has his first great grandchild on it's way. He loved his wife and kids very much and made sure they were happy. I still can't believe he''s gone. But I know he is happy because he's with the love of his life again fishing away.
