James Wells Sr

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mr. James "Jim" Wells. Born on May 19, 1946, Jim concluded his life journey on Aug 15, 2025. An individual of many passions whose presence illuminated the lives of those around him, Jim will be sorely missed.

Jim is survived by his son, Jay Wells; his second son, Marc Wells; his step-daughter, Kathi McGrath and step-son, Michael McGrath. His brother, John Wells, also survives him. He is predeceased by his brothers, Donald “Pat” Wells, George Wells, David Wells, and Thomas Wells; his sister, Margaret Blow; his parents, Edgar and Dixie Wells; and his partner, Rita McGrath.

A Celebration of Life in Jim’s honor will be held on Sep 13, 2025, at 1 PM at Veterans of Foreign Wars in Winooski, VT. His fondness for Miller Lite is sure to be remembered and toasted by friends and family attending his celebration.

Jim had an array of hobbies and interests that made him the vibrant individual that he was. A fan of Sports and "The Curse of Oak Island", he took immense pleasure in simple things like working around the house or watching his favorite team, the Washington Redskins, play. He had enjoyed playing golf, softball, and indulging in a little gambling, whilst his favorite local spots included RVA, VFW, and The Legion.

Amidst his everyday activities, Jim had a penchant for watching sports, tending to the house, taking care of Dino and spending time with his family and friends.

Described as happy, jolly, friendly, and caring, Jim's personality was truly one of a kind. Jim was always willing to help someone out and had an extensive network of friends who he could rely on if he needed any help.

His philosophy of 'being happy' not only defined him but also inspired those who knew him. His presence will be profoundly missed by all his family and friends.

In our hearts forever, Jim's memory lives on. He may have left our sights, but his spirit, lessons, and the love he shared remains with us forever. Rest in peace, Jim.
