There we go. Thank you. Hopefully we far surpass the 100k goal.

Yes, one is set up. According to the write up Wes did not have life insurance as he was still working through the new job transition.

I’d like to encourage those of you who do not have life insurance to strongly consider getting some. It can help out your spouse, kids, and others.

Over $120k already. There's nothing like the generosity of Appalachin-Americans.

Yep. And get it while you're young. It's cheap when you're young and invisible.

Wes couldn't get reasonably priced life insurance due to being a stroke survivor. It's one of the most messed up things about insurance is that those who need it the most are often priced out.

Fair point but the advise is still valid for most people. He also could have gotten an accidental death and dismemberment policy from many companies without a medical exam.

I was not aware of that. You’re right, obviously that makes things harder.

Just went to donate and saw where Shannon Terry (founder and CEO of On3) gave $10,000. Fund is over 222k now. Volnation is amazing!

That made me tear up, and I did not even personally know Wes.

Rick Barnes got me teary-eyed earlier too.

Also for pete's sake, if your young and can get it - get TERM LIFE...don't fall for the tomfoolery of anything other than TERM LIFE.
Thought being that eventually you will have either paid the premium in full, or be financially well enough off that you wouldn't need life insurance.

I apologize if this a really dumb and stupid question to ask, but has somebody let Tony V know? I know he's busy getting ready with the Giants, but I can't imagine him being so detached from Knoxville that he wouldn't have heard by now.

I’m thankful that Wes got to experience opening day at LNS. Like many Vol fans, Wes was my “go to” source for TN sports information. By all accounts, he was a great Father, Husband, and friend to many. What a legacy he left…I will sincerely miss him! It’s great to see Volnation taking care of his family!
