Nathan Henry Wells, 86, passed gently from his earthly life on Friday, December 23, 2016 at Lower Cape Fear Hospice Care Center.
He was born November 2, 1930 in Pender County, the son of the late Arthur Graham and Liddie Rivenbark Wells. Also preceding Nathan in death are his brothers, Allen Wells and WE Wells.
Nathan is survived by his wife of 60 years. Annette Taylor Wells; daughters, Teresa Wells Steel and Kim Blackburn (Michael); son, Stuart Wells; grandchildren Scott Rivenbark (Sarah), Grant Rivenbark (Angela), Ty Harts, and Amy Harts; great grandchildren, Taylor Rivenbark, Charleigh Rivenbark and Cody Rivenbark; sister, Delores Chadwick; brothers, Johnnie Wells (Julia) and J. P. Wells (Sophie); and many nieces, nephews and friends.
Nathan served his country in the US Army during the Korean Conflict. He was retired from Pender County School System, working for many years as an auto mechanic teacher at Pender High School. His love of teaching showed as he was an outstanding, dedicated teacher. After retirement Nathan began another love in life, playing golf.
First and foremost Nathan was a Christian and lived his life according to Christian principles. Serving Penderlea Baptist Church for numerous years in many capacities, Nathan was church treasurer for 28 years and a deacon. Most recently he attended Willard Baptist Church. His family was another joy in his life as he was a devoted husband and wonderful daddy, granddaddy, brother and friend. Nathan lived a sharing, caring and blessed life. His passing leaves a tremendous void in our lives. We miss Nathan more than words can express, but take comfort that he is resting in the arms of Jesus and we that we will see him again.
The family will receive friends at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, December 26, 2016 at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home Wallace Chapel with funeral service at 12 noon. Pastor David Knowles will conduct the service. Burial will follow in Riverview Memorial Park.
