Virgil Simons, President at The Prostate Net and Prostate Net Europa, shared on LinkedIn:
“Sadly today I lost a great friend and the nation a great warrior in the fight against prostate cancer.
Wes Sholes, a colleague for many years in the DoD Prostate Cancer Research Program, transitioned to the next world in the company of family and friends at home in Los Angeles.
Apart from his work in several fields of healthcare, he looked to the future in helping to create a path for young people through the BridgeBuilders Foundation that was his last and passionate mission.
Wes was the Yin to my Yang, a superb listener and mentor, the perfect pal for dinner and a bottle of wine, but above all the embodiment of a gentleman and friend.
He will be missed in this moment, but we believe that at some moment in the future we will connect again. I can only hope it will be somewhere there’s good wine!
Rest in peace, my friend! Anima!”
