Wesley Starr, Argo tornado victim

Eunice Starr married her husband, Wesley, 45, less than three years ago, but their life together brought love, joy and humor.

"He was a cheerful fellow, a people guy," she said. "He liked to make jokes. Everyone knew him as 'King Wes.'"

King Wes earned his regal title at his job at Marshall Durbin, a poultry processing plant in Jasper.

"He was always on top of things at his job, whatever he did," said Eunice. "He tested the chickens to make sure they were right."

Starr enjoyed going to football games, talking about golf and playing baseball.

"He played baseball a lot, and before that he liked to roller skate," Eunice said.

The couple would jokingly disagree about their roles as husband and wife.

"He would say, 'that's a woman's job,' or 'that's a man's job.' I would say, 'You've got it twisted, honey. We're in the 2000s. It don't work that way.' We used to go through that a lot. Everybody would turn around and we'd be laughing. They would say, 'I ain't getting involved in that one.'"

But one thing will always be indisputable for Eunice:

"I am definitely going to miss him. He was my love."
