Jackie Wayne Wells, Sr., 64 of Cabool, MO went to be with his Lord on July 6, 2011, at the Cox South Medical Center in Springfield, MO. He was born August 28, 1946 in Willow Springs, Missouri, to Ruby Louise Wells and Earl Wesley Wells.

He was a lifetime resident of the Cabool, Missouri area, with working experience in Colorado, Lebanon, and St. Louis. His most recent employment was with Cabool Home Center, where he was employed as a clerk and "Jack" of all trades.  His church home was Second Baptist Church in Cabool, Missouri, where he served as an Usher and was involved in numerous activities. While his health permitted, he helped deliver Meals on Wheels to the Cabool area.
He also was very active in the Neighborhood Watch program in the Pea Ridge Area. Jack was an avid hunter and fisherman his whole life. Another interest of his was traveling. One of his fond memories was a trip to Ireland to see his granddaughter, while she was studying there. He loved to visit with family and friends; the Underwood Reunion in June of this year was very special to his heart. He would have been proud to know that his donation to the Heartland Lions Eye Bank was gratefully accepted.
