Honoring the Life and Legacy of Wes Guckert
in Board of Directors, Dr. Benjamin Carson, General on January 6, 2026
We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Wes Guckert, a devoted champion of the Carson Scholars Fund community. Wes was a generous and steady presence at the CSF, having served as the Vice President of the Board of Directors and always maintaining a deep commitment to helping others and advancing our mission. His leadership, kindness, and dedication will not be forgotten.
We would like to share the following message from Dr. Ben Carson, Mrs. Candy Carson, and their family:
“We are all very saddened to hear of the passing of stalwart, faithful and generous board member Wes Guckert. Dear Wes was such a vibrant and loving soul! It’s hard to believe he’s no longer with us! A strong and self-made man who truly cared about others, he dedicatedly gave back to help anyone and everyone who needed it! Such a positive role model for us all! He is sorely missed!!”
— Ben & Candy Carson and family
