      Wells was born May 9, 1924, in Callands to Leslie Stone and Elsie Elizabeth Aaron Wells. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Juanita Bryson Wells in 2009; one brother, Carlton A. Wells; his twin brother, Ryland T. Wells; and two sisters, Doris W.

      He graduated from Callands High School and was a member of County Line Christian Church.

      After enlisting in the Army, Wells served in Africa, Normandy, Ardennes, Central Europe and the Rhineland during World War II.

He rose to the rank of sergeant and was awarded the Purple Heart, Good Conduct Medal, World War II Victory Medal, and the European African Middle Eastern Service Ribbon with four Bronze Service Stars and the Bronze Arrowhead for the Normandy Landing.

      Wells was a past commander of the Paul Shorter Chapter of the DAV and served as commander nine times; was a DAV bus driver for five years; and was a life member of the Martinsville-Henry County Veterans Honor Guard. He received special recognition in 2006 for serving at 86 of 106 veterans' services for that year, and in 1995 was selected as Veteran of the Year for his outstanding service and dedication to veterans.
