M. “Dean” Wells, age 59 of Webb City, passed away Sunday, May 22, 2011 at the Home Depot. Dean was born August 31, 1951 at Ft. Carson, CO to parents, Paul and Jean (Hall) Wells. He served his country in the U.S. Army.
Dean married Margaret Sue Simons May 23, 1969 in Boulder, CO, his death coming one day before their 42nd Anniversary. Sue survives of the home.
Dean was a member of the First Christian Church of Webb City where he sang with his church group every Tuesday at area nursing homes or with ill members of the church and community. He loved music and was very adept at whistling. He recorded records of his whistling and often sung and whistled for his church.
Dean was a Department Head at Home Depot. He saved several lives at Home Depot on May 22, 2011 and ultimately lost his life in the process. Anyone who knew him knew this was his style of living; helping others first.

Thank you Dean for saving others and giving your life a sacrifice. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. I'll see you again in heaven, because I know you put your faith in Jesus Christ to forgive your sin.
