Born on March 16, 1934, in Louisa County, he was the son of the late Alfred Wells Sr. and Ethel Wells. He was preceded in death by two sisters, Betty Bolden and Mattie Tate and three brothers, Frank Wells, Harold Wells and William Wells.  He attended Louisa County Public Schools and was a dedicated, hard worker in all his endeavors. He had a passion for working on cars and for many years he was a mechanic in Louisa County. He could fix almost anything with an engine. There was only one car brand that had his heart. He was a Ford man and throughout the years he owned, fixed and loved his Ford's. Years later, he relocated to Baltimore, Maryland 
where he worked as an HVAC technician until his retirement.  He was a longtime member of Parklane Baptist Church in Baltimore, MD. He was a kindhearted, gentle man who loved his family and the Lord.

The family would like to thank all who were involved in his care. Your compassion and dedication were greatly appreciated. Also, thank you to those who have sent cards, texts, donations, and other acts of kindness. Your many acts of kindness and sympathy continue to be a great comfort to us in our time of sorrow.
