Wesley Joseph Eslinger, age 4, passed away peacefully and unexpectedly surrounded by love on Sunday, February 15, 2026.

Wesley was born on April 29, 2021 in Appleton, son of Kyle & Monica (Ruelle) Eslinger. One of his favorite things was when he could ride the big yellow school bus with his brother and sister to school where he was in 4K. Wesley was always moving, lining up his hot wheels, building train tracks and trains with his Duplo blocks, riding his bike, playing and attempting to play army with his big brother, Emmett, and playing house with his big sister Daphne. Wesley loved Bluey and even picked out his Bluey backpack. He also said blue was his favorite color, and then would say he really loved all of the rainbow.

Wesley is survived by his parents: Kyle & Monica; his brother and sister: Emmett and Daphne; grandparents: Robert & Aimee Ruelle and Sara Eslinger; aunts: Natasha, Bobbie-Jo, and Karina; cousins: Asher, Braxton, Colette, Darcie, and Evie; and other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his grandpa: Ken Eslinger; and other relatives.

A Memorial Service for Wesley will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at Brillion Community Church. Officiating will be Rev. Joe Weiers.

The family will greet relatives and friends at the church on Saturday from 1:00 p.m. until the time of the service. Please know that hugging may not be the best way to comfort the family, for we don’t want them to be more overwhelmed than they already are. The family does ask that if attending, if you could please wear the color blue or any Bluey apparel for Wesley.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are appreciated.
