Wes E. Burchfield, loving husband, father, and grandfather, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, May 5, 2021. Funeral: 2:00 PM, Tuesday, May 11, 2021 at White's Funeral Chapel, Mineral Wells. Visitation: 6:00 to 8:00 PM, Monday, May 10, 2021 at White's Funeral Home, Mineral Wells. Wes loved to play tennis. He loved it so much that he kept it up for 50 years. Boat riding in his Formula "Go Fast Boat" as he called it, always put a smile on his face. He had the need for speed. Watching his favorite TCU Horned Frogs play football was something he rarely missed. His successful 34 year career at Bates Container was something he was very proud of and loved to talk about. He met many life-long friends while working there. When around Wes, there was always a laugh to be had. He had a special way of making you smile. The best Christmas he ever had was when all of his kids and grandkids were able to come and stay the night, all 16 of them. Wes cherished his time with his family and his wife, Gwen. They were soulmates. Survivors: Wes is survived by his wife, Gwen; daughter, Colby Spencer and husband, Neil; son, Blake Burchfield and wife, Katie; step-daughter, Cara Peterson and husband, Dani; step-son, Brent Plumlee; and grandchildren, Blake, Tyson, and Kealee Spencer, Berkley and Hudson Kern, Michah, Rose, Lauren, and Kaelyn Burchfield.
