Obituary of Keith Richard Wells

Keith Richard Wells, passed away on December 13, 2025, at the age of 64. Born on May 9, 1961, in Bay City, Michigan, where he also departed this life, Keith’s journey was one marked by an unwavering love for his family, a passion for the great outdoors, and a legacy of kindness that touched all who knew him. Keith was the beloved son of the late Richard Wells and Phyllis DeRosia, and he held the memories of his parents and his sisters, Pam Charbonneau and Cindy Malkin, close to his heart, cherishing the time they shared.

 He is survived by his siblings, Lisa Hayes and her husband Rob, and Christopher Wells and his brothers-in-law, Rich Charbonneau and Ken Malkin who will miss him deeply. Keith will also be profoundly missed by his nieces and nephews, Tanya Wright and her husband Matt, Ricky Charbonneau, Justin Lebourdias, Roby Hayes and his wife Megan, Mikayla Hayes and her partner Krystal, as well as by his many great-nieces and nephews. Each of them will carry forward the love he instilled in them.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         For many years, Keith dedicated himself to his career as a carpet and floor installer. His commitment to excellence in his craft was evident in every project he undertook, and he was well-respected in his field. Keith's love for the outdoors was a cornerstone of his life. He found peace and solace in the simple pleasures of camping, hunting, and fishing. These activities were not just hobbies for Keith but a way of life that allowed him to connect with nature and create countless cherished memories with his family and friends. His gentle and loving spirit was often best reflected in the quiet moments spent by a campfire or on the tranquil waters of a lake at dawn. Those who knew Keith would describe him as the epitome of loving, kind, and gentle. He navigated life's challenges with a quiet strength and a compassionate heart. As we say goodbye to Keith, we celebrate a life lived with genuine affection, and grace. His presence in our lives was a gift, and his memory will continue to live on. We take comfort in knowing that Keith is now at peace, reunited with his beloved family members who preceded him in death.

Rest in peace, dear Keith, until we meet again.
