Joel Daniel Wells, affectionately known as Joey, passed away on October 2, 2025, after a short battle with cancer at the age of 61. Born in Mobile, Alabama, on April 6, 1964, Joey lived a life rooted in his family and had a deep love of the outdoors. He enjoyed football and baseball, but especially hunting and fishing. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was exceptionally funny. After spending many years in sales, he was living his dream as a boat captain for the Legacy Sites at Equal Justice Initiative.
He was preceded in death by his father, James Kenneth Wells, and his mother, Carol Scherb Wells.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Paige Lindsey; his loving daughters, Emiley Wells Parr (Ben) and Terra Whittle Morris (Miles); his loving son, Alan Lindsey (Haley); his cherished granddaughter Ellis Claire Lindsey; and his siblings: James Kenneth Wells, Jr. (Rosalinde), Wendy Wells Tomczak (Gary), Carol Wells Hendren (Ray), and John Wells (Belinda), along with many nieces and nephews, extended family members, and friends who will miss his humor, storytelling, and love of the outdoors.
A Memorial Service will be held at Antioch East Baptist Church in Greenville, Alabama at 10:30 AM on Saturday, October 11, 2025. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the American Cancer Society, or the Equal Justice Initiative in his honor.
