Robert J. "Bobby" Wells was born July 23, 1960, and joined his Lord July 7, 2023, at the age of 62 years.

Bobby is survived by his treasured wife and children. His wife of 37 years Amy, his daughter Mandy (Olivia), and son Ben (Kaitlyn). Bobby was predeceased by his son, Christian Fagan Wells and his beloved father, James Robert Wells.

Bobby is also survived by his mother, Jo Ann Wells; sister Amy Jo Earheart (Chuck); brother Walt (Jennifer); and many extended family, as well as a host of cherished friends, students, players, dedicated coaches and educators.
