February 4, 1953 — March 26, 2011
Tim W. Wells, 58, of Lander died Saturday, March 26. 2011, at the Wyoming Medical Center in Casper, following a long illness.
He was born February 4, 1953, in Lander to Wallace W. and Leona Ann (Spriridon) Wells. He was educated in Riverton and graduated from Riverton High School, attended Central Wyoming College and graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in Parks and Recreation.

He then began his career in sales which he pursued until his retirement in 2008 due to his declining health.
Tim had a passion for Wyoming's outdoors and hunted, fished, camped and backpacked in the Wind River Range until his health no longer made it possible for him to engage in these activities. A favorite hunting partner was his youngest brother. Kirn, with whom he enjoyed a special relationship. He was involved with Easter Seals Camps during his younger years. He was an Eagle Scout and continued to work with the scouting program until his son, Jake, obtained his Eagle award.
