Firefighter Given Last Call
KENTUCKY...
Firefighters across Floyd County gathered Tuesday at Gethsemane Gardens Cemetery to offer a last call to one of their own, former Prestonsburg Fire Chief Mike Wells.
Wells, better known to family and friends as “Deuce,” was a career firefighter for the city of Prestonsburg, serving from 1984 until he retired as chief in 2002.
Wells passed away June 17 at the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center following an extended illness. He was 54. Funeral services were held for Wells in downtown Prestonsburg. Members of both the Prestonsburg Fire Department and Betsy Layne Fire Department prepared for the arrival of the former chief by affixing an arch with a displayed flag at the entrance to Gethsemane Gardens. Wells is survived by his wife, Heather Hitchcock Wells, two sons, Todd Wells and Cameron Wells, one daughter, Kalan Francis Wells and two granddaughters, Hunter and Olivia Wells.
