On Sunday morning, Nov. 15, 2020, Wesley L. Wells gained his heavenly wings. He loved God with his heart, soul, and mind. He ardently studied the Word of God. His love for God was a reflection of the way he loved and provided for his family. He served earnestly in the church and led faithfully in the DeQuincy community. He was a dear friend to many in the community and across the country.
Wesley L. Wells began his earthly journey on Feb. 16, 1928 being born to the parentage of Dempsey L. Perkins and Pearl Smith Wells in Leesville. Soon after his birth, he was adopted by Reverend Lonnie Wells and became the only son of five sisters. In his youth, he was raised by his grandfather Mose Smith in Leesville then relocated to DeQuincy in 1941.
