Kerry L. Wells
September 26, 1946 - January 22, 2022
Kerry L. Wells passed away unexpectedly in his home on January 22, 2022.

Kerry left behind a wife, Jessica, two sons, Jonah and Jackson, and his first grandchild. Kerry was a beloved and retired language arts teacher from Lebanon Union High School and loved his dog Bo. He was a man with a sharp wit and creative mind. Completing jigsaw puzzles, walking in the park with his pup, camping, kayaking, watching sports, and reading were favorite pastimes.
He will be missed. A celebration of life will be held sometime this summer. If you are interested in attending please go to the website everloved.com/life-of/Kerry-wells/ and subscribe with your email so you can receive a notice of when and where.

I used to be very close to both Kerry and his brother Kelly when we attended Oregon College of Education in the 1970s. I haven't seen either of them since the early 1990s. Kerry taught me so much about literature, music, and the importance of life. He and his brother were very essential to me. Times went by, I no longer live in Oregon, but I miss the many, many hours we shared. What a long, strange it's been.

Mr. Wells changed my life. I was his student and aid from 2010-2013. He was an incredible teacher and friend during my school years and shortly after but his advice and influence has been with me every single day and always will be. My prayers and heart go out to his family. I promise I will never stop questioning everything. O Captain, my Captain!

I was in Kerry's advanced sophomore English class in Lebanon his first year of teaching here. He was not only the most influential teacher I've ever had but also an amazing human being. I learned so much from him and have taken so much of what he taught me through my life to become who I am today. He is definitely missed
