Andrew Christopher Wells completed his time on earth Friday, July 22, 2011, 5 days short of his 37th birthday. His broken body finally overcame his strong will and quit. He is now with his Lord.
Andy was born in Fairbanks Alaska on July 27, 1974. He attended elementary school, Ryan Middle, West Valley High School. He was active in his church, loved playing soccer, ran and skied cross country.
After high school, he worked odd jobs (gold mining, fair salesman, etc.) before landing at Assets Inc in Anchorage, working at Providence Hospital and in their printshop. He became active with the Baptist Student Union at UAA and with ultimate frisbee. He was busy outdoors, always headed into the mountains - the Chugach, the Kenai, Hatcher Pass, or back to Fairbanks.
Returning from Flat Top in September 1995, he rolled his truck on Upper DeArmoun in Anchorage. He broke his back resulting in paralysis. His trekking days were over, but he continued on, training in the Charter College AutoCAD program and working as a drafter for ASCG for a number of years, learning to drive with his hands, and taking up frisbee golf.
In 1996, he met Erin Searcy Dudgeon, the love of his life and they married in 2000. Andy relished in the adventures of his new family, helping run sound for Erin's musical ventures, and keeping up with his step son Josh. He was developing his video editing skills, documenting performances of Erin's groups, including school performances in Girdwood, 3 Barons Renaissance Fair and her performances with the local group the Rogues and Wenches.
Andy is survived by his wife Erin Wells; step son Josh Dudgeon and wife Affton, grandchildren Tait and Selah; parents Denmer (Dan) and Linda Wells; brother Denny Wells and wife Lisa, nieces Dessa and Linnea; father-in-law Rev. Doyle Searcy; scores of cousins and countless friends.
A memorial service will be Friday, July 29, 4:30 P.M., at Hillside Baptist Church in Anchorage, AK. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been set up at Alaska USA credit union.
