Wes Leonard, then a 16 year old from Fennville, Michigan, was an excellent quarterback and basketball player for the Fennville Blackhawks. On March 3, 2011 shortly after Wes made the final basket in overtime of the final game of an undefeated season in their league, Wes fell to the floor of the gym with a fatal heart attack. He was a fine young man. The story made national news. For more information Google "Wes Leonard". His mother leads a group called the "Wes Leanard Heart Team" that raises money for AED's at public places around the area. The posted co-ordinates take you to the grave site. To find the cache go to N 42 35.ABC and W 086 07.DEF. ABC is found by subtracting 1314 from the year Wes was born. DEF is found by subtracting 1564 from the year Wes died.
Although we did not know Wes, we feel very connected. First, we have a summer home less than a mile from this cemetary. Second, we watched his coach play for Hope College where we are avid fans. Third, Fennville's next three tounament games after Wes' death were played at the beautiful DeVos Fieldhouse on Hope's campus where we sit at almost every Hope game. (see my cache FINAL FOUR GC1NTZD). Finally, Wes' funeral was held at Christ Memorial Church in Holland where we are members along with Wes' grandmother.
Cemetery rules apply No night caching.
