Conway….. C. Wesley Anderson, age 66, passed away Thursday, October 30, 2025. Mr. Anderson was born in Conway, a son of the late Clyde Ashley and Martha Bob Floyd Anderson. He was a sports enthusiast, especially football. He spent his high school years playing quarterback and running back for his Tigers at Conway High School. He also loved music. That love ran deep, and he enjoyed listening to many genres. After high school he studied at Coastal Carolina University. Following his education, he joined and served four years in the United States Army. Wesley joined DDC Engineers in March of 1994, working in the surveying department. Shortly after, he was promoted to the firm's project inspector and administrator, looking after construction in the field and coordinating between the engineers, contractors, and the various local and state agencies. He inspected and supervised private development projects such as Barefoot Resort, SayeBrook, and hundreds of others, coupled with the municipal projects undertaken for the County, City of Myrtle Beach, and City of North Myrtle Beach. Mike Wooten, PE stated that the company's development and municipal clients had enormous respect for his ability to accomplish tasks with the various contractors and get projects completed and approved in spite of numerous obstacles. He was greatly respected by the municipal and state agency representatives. Contractors were amazed by his ability to utilize creative thinking to overcome unforeseen conditions in the field. He built his department to five full time staff members as the company grew and could always be depended on to train new staff members and young inexperienced engineers. He was a member of the DDC Engineers family for more than 30 years before his retirement. Through the relationships he built and those that he had trained, his presence will continue to be felt. Above all, Wesley was a devout Christian who loved the Lord. He loved his family immensely. He was a loyal, cherished and devoted friend to many. He had a serving heart.
