Jimmy Michael Wells, Sr. was born on his mother's birthday on March 18, 1948, in Crossett, AR and was surrounded by family when he departed this life in the early morning hours of October 17, 2025, after a prolonged battle with lung cancer. Those who knew and loved him will remember him as an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed deer hunting and white perch fishing the most but would hunt, catch, cook, and eat almost any wild animal. To his family, he will be remembered as a fierce protector and tireless provider that made countless sacrifices during his 41 years at International Paper to ensure his family's needs were always met. He was knowledgeable in subjects ranging from Civil and World War II history to horticulture and how to make perfect egg noodles from scratch. His sage instruction will be sorely missed. He is preceded in death by his mother Minnie Jarnevich Wells; father George Shirley Wells; and sister Theresa Annette Wells. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Sandra Parker Wells; Brother George Daniel "Danny" Wells of Oak Grove, LA; daughter Monica Bryan and husband Kenneth of Downsville, LA; son Jimmy Michael Wells, Jr. and wife April of Collinston, LA; daughter Misty Wrinkle of Oklahoma City; son Michael Neathery and wife Donna of Rayville, LA; son Patrick Neathery and wife Candy of Rayville, LA; as well as eight grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that those that wish to honor Jimmy's life make a memorial donation to Goodwill Church of God.
