Michael “Mike” John Wells, 79, of Lake Charles, passed away in Houston, Texas on February 26, 2019 after an extended illness.

He was a native of Lake Charles and was a graduate of LaGrange High School. Mike honorably and faithfully served our country in the United States Army National Guard, and retired from The United States Naval Reserve with over 20 years of service.
