Charles Wesley (Wes) Cummings, born February 18th, 1938, joined his beloved wife of 49 ½ years, Lois G. Cummings (nee Berry), in heaven on May 9th, 2026.
Born in St. Louis, MO to Charles E. and Dallas Cummings, Wes was a proud owner of his family welding and fabrication business. He was a man of deep faith who loved his church and practiced God’s word through gratitude of his incredible and blessed life. Wes made sure to keep his birdfeeders full and his yard ready for his bunny rabbits to enjoy. Wes is survived by beloved daughters Linda (Kent) Kotthoff and Nancy Cummings-Woolbright, and cherished grandchildren Jacob, Nicole (Michael), Jamie T., and Benjamin Dallas. He was also able to meet his great-grandson, Hudson, and was so incredibly proud and grateful to have been able to spend time with all of his grandchildren. Wes was a beloved brother-in-law to Marilyn, Leon, and Duane, and a cherished uncle and friend to many. He was so grateful to have been able to have worked alongside his dear nephew, Larry, for many years. He has joined his sisters Merry Hofmeister and Lugene Teuke, and his adored pup, Rasin.
