Wes was born on May 21, 1972 in Cooperstown, NY to parents, Douglas and Grace (Brain) Coddington. Wes married his partner and best friend, Karen Ivins, in Langhorne, PA on October 28, 1998. Wes will be remembered for his sense of humor, creativity, leadership, and his enjoyment of challenges - whether completing a triathlon or climbing a college chapel wall. Wes loved snow, snowmobiles and all things winter; he loved being outdoors; he loved sharing Jesus with anyone. But his greatest love was Karen and his children, second only to his love for Jesus. Following Jesus Christ was his life purpose and his final words to his family was to continue to make disciples. Wes graduated from Oneonta High School, Oneonta, NY, in 1990.

Additionally, he was Educational/Ministry Development Pastor for Langhorne Terrace Ministries in Langhorne, PA.; Director of Student Activities at Cairn University; Family and Youth Pastor at Emmanuel Evangelical Free Church in Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada, and Main Street Baptist Church in Oneonta, NY. Wes was an Associate Certified Coach (ACC), was involved with the Leadership/Team Development at Sage Creek High School in Carlsbad, CA as well as a Parent Liaison at Calavera Hills Elementary school. While in Pennsylvania he was involved with visitation at the DaVita Kidney Care.
