Rodney Allen Wells, a longtime resident of Bogalusa, LA, passed away August 16th in Sarasota, FL, at the age of 81.
Rodney was born to Alvin & Lois Wells on April 24, 1940 in Bogalusa, LA. He graduated from Bogalusa High School and served in the U.S. Air Force at home and abroad. For over three decades, he worked for the US Post Office and carried fond memories of his coworkers and days on his route. In 2014, he relocated to Sarasota, FL, to be closer to family. Rodney was a loving dad, grandfather, uncle, brother, and friend and his greatest love in life was his daughter and his two granddaughters.
