Obituary, John Wellons

 

John Wellons

John Wellons was born to Grace and Hubert Wellons, Sr. in Wrangell, Alaska on December 10, 1944, joining big brother Hoop. He was a lifelong Wrangellite, and loved this little town very much.

He met Donna Loveland in 1977 and married her on May 5, 1979. His eldest daughter Luana was born in 1982 and his baby girl Melissa was born in 1984. Nothing made John prouder than being a father, and then later a Papa to his grandchildren Elizabeth and Houston.

John was a jack of all trades who held many different jobs but flying was his true passion. He found great joy in flying and would take his girls for airplane rides whenever he could. He also enjoyed boating and riding motorcycles. He rode motorcycles for years and in his spare time enjoyed working on his motorcycle and dump truck.

John was a kind, funny, good-hearted man who always meant well. He was a true inspiration to anyone who knew him, especially his mutual friends of Bill W. He always had a friendly smile and a funny story for anyone who had time to listen.

He was preceded in death by his mother, father and brother.

He is survived by his loving wife Donna; daughters Luana and Melissa; and grandchildren Elizabeth and Houston.
