The Jasper community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Wesson Lane, a beloved Curry High School alumnus whose vibrant spirit, boundless energy, and unforgettable presence touched countless lives. Wesson passed away following a tragic accident in the parking lot of a local gym, an event that left his family, friends, and community shattered with grief. As the Jasper Police Department continues its investigation, loved ones are leaning on one another—and on the power of prayer—to navigate an unthinkable sorrow.
Wesson was a boy who carried a spark that could light up any room. His family describes him as “joy wrapped in a boy,” a child who embodied mischief, magic, softness, and chaos in the most beautiful way. To know Wesson was to know adventure; he had a way of transforming ordinary moments into memories his loved ones would hold onto forever. His laughter filled rooms, his smile melted hearts, and his rowdy, spirited nature made every day brighter. He was a whirlwind of love and life—chaos with a cause—and he loved fiercely.
In the midst of unimaginable pain, his family has shown extraordinary grace. Guided by love, they have walked alongside Wesson through trauma and uncertainty, holding him with tenderness every step of the way. With heavy hearts, they shared that he will be transitioned into palliative care, surrounded by the same hands, voices, and prayers that welcomed him into the world. Their love for him is immeasurable—and eternal.
Even in this darkest chapter, Wesson’s kindness and compassion continue to shine. At a young age, he made the profound decision to become an organ donor. That choice, rooted in his desire to help others, will bring life, healing, and hope to families desperately praying for a miracle. Wesson’s light will continue to shine through the lives he saves—a testament to his generous heart.
This is not surrender; this is trust. Wesson’s family believes they are placing him gently into the Lord’s arms, confident that God’s plan for him extends beyond anything imaginable here on earth. Though his time was far too short, his impact was immeasurable. His smile, his laughter, and his unmistakable spirit will remain forever woven into the hearts of those who loved him most.
To Wesson’s family, friends, and all who cherished him, we extend our deepest condolences. May you feel his love in every memory, every breeze, every moment of quiet grace. May peace surround you, strength sustain you, and may Wesson’s light guide you through every step ahead.
Rest in peace, sweet Wesson. Your joy, your spark, and your spirit will live on forever. 🤍🙏
