With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of one of wonderful and talented long time employees, machinist Wes Welch. He will be sorely missed by all of us. Prayers Ascending, our brother.

Wes dedicated 44 years of his career as a machinist at Laurel Machine and Foundry. Outside of work, he was passionate about the outdoors, enjoying fishing, bow hunting, and gardening. His loyal puppies, Peanut and Bandit, were his constant companions.

He also leaves behind a host of nieces and nephews.
Wes was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Sandra Smith Welch, his son Keith Fowler, and his father, Aaron Wesley Welch, Sr.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, November 7, 2025, with visitation from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, followed by the service at 11:00 AM at Ellisville Funeral Home, 1204 B Ave, Ellisville, Mississippi.
