Chief Master Sergeant (retired) Daniel Orson Wells, 58 years old of Great Falls, Montana, was deployed to Heaven on July 11, 2024.
He was tragically killed in an auto accident and taken from all of us much too early. He was a loving husband, father, and loyal friend. He served 28 years in the US Air Force and traveled the world before retiring in 2013.

He loved fly fishing with his son, Craig. He loved camping, hiking, tinkering with cars, and working on projects around the house. He took great pride in everything he did.
