It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Brian John Wells, a beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who touched the lives of so many with kindness, warmth, and humour.
Brian was known for making everyone laugh in every situation, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
Dougie Mac was an important charity to Brian, as they supported his daughter Julie Ann Grange through her battle with cancer. Therefore, we ask that donations be made to the charity in lieu of flowers.
Regardless of any donations made, the family extend their thanks for your kindness, compassion, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
In Memory of Brian Wells
