To the Family of Charles Brian Wells,
So sorry to learn about the loss of your Dear Loved One, Charles. Please know that so many people share your grief with you to help you through this difficult time of sorrow. Please accept my deepest condolences as we await the time when Christ Jesus will awaken all of those who have fallen asleep in death; including your Beloved, Charles. (John 11:41-44)
To the family of Charles Brian Wells.. Sometimes gentle words can do so much to soften
the intense sadness when a dear loved one dies. God’s word acknowledges that
our heart can be ‘broken and crushed.’ (Ps. 51:17). But even in
severe situations, God can bring relief to a stricken heart if we pray to him
in full faith and observe his commandments. May the God of comfort soothe your
families aching hearts as the days progress.
As teenagers at Groce Methodist Church Brian is remembered as a great person and friend. May God comfort you all in your grief.
My deepest sympathy to Brian’s family. I’ll always remember his humor and smile. He will be missed.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My heart goes out to your family. Death is something we will never get use to. In fact, God’s Word refers to death as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) Very soon our loving Heavenly Father, will remove death once and for all ( Rev 21:4) and give us the opportunity to see our loved ones again here on the earth. (Acts 24:15)
I am so sorry, Mrs. Wells, and the rest of your family, in the loss of your son, and brother, Brian! My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May you find peace and comfort through Christ! Laura McSwain Firestone

To Dot and family, I pray that God will help you and give you peace at this difficult time.
To the Wells Family: My thoughts and prayers are with you. As you know, I have fond memories of my friendship with Brian going back to those early days in Beverly Hills and your home where we all caught the school bus to Haw Creek and later Reynolds High School. So many families…Rast’s, and later the Williams’, McCormick’s, Austraw’s, Ross’, Hillyer’s, Barger’s, and Tutt’s,…such sweet memories. I know Brian will be missed by his family and loved ones.
My sincere condolences go to your dear family. Brian was such an important part of my life and he will be missed. I am late on receiving word of his death. We shared the love of flying as well as great times at the discos, as well as both being employed at Harrahs. I saw him briefly in December where we quickly caught up with each other.
Always in my heart
