Michael Wells' Obituary
Michael Kent Wells, born September 23, 1951, passed away on May 18, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, dedication, and love. He was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Karen Wells, and a proud father to his children, Michael Shawn Wells and wife Fanta, Stephanie Sipes, and youngest son Aaron Wells and wife Dawn. His love extended to his cherished grandchildren: Derek and wife Alison, Brandon and wife Joanie and great grandchildren Liam and Kennedy, Lauren, Gabriel and wife Sierra and great grandchildren Simon and Kent, McKenzie, Madi, Shaylin, Cameron, and Ashtyn. He was also deeply connected to his brother, Tom Wells, and sister, Claudia Brown. Michael was the embodiment of selflessness, always putting others before himself. His extraordinary work ethic was evident in every aspect of his life, whether he was working tirelessly in the yard, helping his grandkids with projects, or lending a hand to anyone in need. His faith in God was his driving force. He shared this faith with his family and found joy in the simple pleasure of spending time with them. He enjoyed going to home and garden shows, attending the fair with his brother, weekend trips to Branson, and binge watching his favorite streaming shows. A true small-town man, he had a heart that welcomed all and a spirit that uplifted those around him. His presence will be deeply missed, but his legacy of generosity, love, and unwavering support will live on in the lives of those he touched. May his memory bring comfort and warmth to all who knew him.
