Remembering William John Wells 'Bill'

William John Wells ‘Bill’

Jan. 21, 1955- May 22, 2026

Incredible and proud father to Trevor Wells, Jennifer (Andrew) Delaney with their children, Jaxson and Hannah, Michelle Wells and Stacey Wells (Nikos Schwelm) with their children, Felix and Juno.

Sadly missed by his siblings Mauri (Tom) Mitchell with their children, Melinda (Danny) Elkaim and Lisa (Jerry) Rynda with their children Montana, Hunter and Aurora, Loni (Don) Gustafson, David Wells (Wendy Tryhorn) with their children, Brandon and Brittany.

Predeceased by his mother, Gloria Wells, and father, Bruce Wells, his brother-in-law, Tom Mitchell, and niece, Melinda Elkaim.

Bill was a very proud father and an even more proud grandfather. It was his greatest joy to spend his later years with his grandsons. He spent his entire adult life driving; from taxi to limo to truck. He was known for kindness, patience, brutal honesty and love of the outdoors. He enjoyed storytelling, hunting, giving life lessons, poker or any strategy game, especially with family and just “shooting the shit” with a cup of Tims. He loved a good meal paired with a glass of chilled red wine and a table surrounded by loved ones. He will be remembered most by his contagious laughter, his love for family and he will be deeply missed.

“He won’t be remembered by the hands he won, but for the kindness he shared around the table.”

Please join us to celebrate the wonderful life of Bill Wells. Let’s get together, share stories, and honour his amazing journey.
