2.12.3.3.3.3. Winston Brian Hess (1959-2003)

Winston Brian Hess was born on 10 April 1959 in Tazewell County, Virginia, to Winfred Jerome Hess and Bonnie Ann Muir. He was 14 years old when his parents divorced in 1973.

On 28 June 1985 Brian married Karen Ruth Markham in Cedar Bluff, Virginia. She was the daughter of Mose Markham and Virginia Ruth Whitt and had been married previously. She had one child by that earlier marriage. Interesting, Karen's ex-husband was Ricky Alan Hess, son of Balfred and Ruby Hess. I have not been able to link the two Hess families together as of this date.

After their marriage, the couple lived in Richlands, Virginia. They had one child together.

On 24 March 1998 Winston and Karen divorced. Brian continued to live in Richlands through at least 2001.

Winston Brian Hess died on 22 November in Emerald Isle, North Carolina. He was interred at Gethsemane Memorial Park in Morehead City, North Carolina.
