Ronald E Wells Jr. Nov. 13, 1952-Aug. 5, 2014 Sunfield, MI A wonderful man known by many names - Ron, Little Ronnie, Dad, Dear, Grandpa, UG, Papa Bear, Mayor McCheese and King Ron the Almighty, decided the time had finally come to meet his Maker after years of failing health. You could see it in his body, but never in his smile, which was on his face for everyone who crossed his path. Ron was a lover of all people. Even if you gave him every reason to dislike you he just couldnt do it. His patience, compassion and love abounded. He was known everywhere he went, and was always ready with a hug and a kind word. He loved to take pictures, and not because he thought he was the best photographer around and he wanted to get rich, but because he loved the idea of being part of so many lives. His creations hang on walls all over this community, and that is such a wonderful legacy, isnt it? Ron absolutely loved being a husband, dad, and grandfather. His wife of 42 years, Sandra (or Dear, as they called each other) was his world, and he never stopped thanking her for his four children; Christopher (Lori) Wells, Amanda (Kenneth) Smith, Daniel (Jennifer) Wells and Tiffany (Matthew) Scobey. But lets face it - he was a mentor and father figure to so many kids through his volunteer work as a coach, teacher, 4H leader, Boy Scout leader...this list really could go on and on. He lived a life of service, and made an impact on more people than we could ever list in this obituary. He had a full bushel of grandbabies before he crossed the River Jordan. Amelia, Lydia, Jonas, Simon, Benjamin, Isaac, Emily, Lizzie, Ian and Piper were the apples of his eye, and he felt so blessed to see that apple tree grow so large. They loved him wholly as well - he was pretty hard not to love. Ron was survived also by his father, Ron Sr. and his stepmother Geri; his sisters Deb (Troy) Black; Diana (Ted) Wells; Connie (Brett) Johnson and Kay (Dave) Beach, numerous nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles. He was preceded in death by his mom, Marcella. We are certain she was very excited to meet her baby boy at the pearly gates. All he wanted the past two months was to go fishing, and the family is so sad that he wasnt able to fulfill that dream. But we rest assured that The Big Catch was waiting for him upstairs, and he is fishing with his Savior until we join him there. We cant wait to hear the tall tales he will have to tell. But we have to wait. We will wait until the Good Lord calls us home. Grief is the price of love, its true. Our love for Ron will live forever. Long live the King! Donations can be made in Rons name to the Friends of the Sunfield District Library, 112 Main St., Sunfield.
