Kevin D. Wells

Kevin Donald Wells, 66, died on February 14, 2023 after fighting a terminal illness for many years. He was born February 5, 1957 in Salem, Oregon, the son of Donald and Donella Wells. Kevin graduated from Gervais High School in 1975 and worked as a machinist for American Can Company for most of his career.

Kevin is survived by his children: Brandon Wells, Kaira Nash (Brandon), Joshua Wells, and Kaylon Wells (Serena); grandchildren: Chloe, Eli, Aiden, Amelia, Mia, and Lily; his siblings: Tracy Aguilar (J.R.), (Sally), Stuart Wells, and Wendy Kerndt; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends. Kevin will be missed.
