Michael Wellman was born December 14th, 1981 to Joe & Sylva Wellman in Alexandria, La. He passed away on Monday, April 8th 2024 at the age of 42. He was a proud alumni of Hicks High School where he was a member of a 3-peat baseball program and loved the opportunity to step on the court any chance he could. Michael was an avid hunter and loved passing this hobby down to his kids. Some nights you could find him on the back of a horse in the roping pen or trying to complete the task on his "Berna" list. His cows were well taken care of, but he couldn't resist just one more feeding. If you wanted to find Michael in his most peaceful place, it would be opening weekend at the deer camp. Those close to him will miss sitting around the fire, watching him cook, or just sharing a good laugh while Jeremy and Heath critique what he is cooking. While all of these things were moments special to Mike, there was nothing more special than the love he had for his kids and wife. He was the best dad and husband anyone could ever ask for. Michael's memory will live on in the heart and lives of those who he left behind. He was taken way too soon!
Michael was proceeded in death by his Pops, Joe Wellman, his maternal grandparents Bud & Adell Wilbanks, his paternal grandparents Bertie & Nita Wellman, His aunts Kay Wilbanks and Georgia Sue Wellman, his uncle John O'Malley and his cousin Chad Spangler.
