William John Wells

Saginaw, Michigan

Beloved father and Papa passed away on Friday, February 14, 2025, at Covenant HealthCare – Harrison, with his family at his side. Age 74 years.

The son of the late Russell and Harriet (Ostrander) Wells, William was born on November 27, 1950, in Saginaw, Michigan. He met the love of his life at 17 years of age, Laura A. Hescott. They shared many wonderful years together. She preceded him in death on November 4, 2016. His passion for boating was a significant part of his life, and he found great pleasure in spending time on the water. In his leisure, he enjoyed watching westerns and classic television shows, which brought him comfort and entertainment. William’s role of a lifetime was being a devoted grandfather, fondly known as Papa, whose grandchildren were the light of his life and brought him immense joy.

Surviving are his daughter, Amber (Juan) Samaniego and their children, Sophia and Viola Neumeyer, Antonio, Ingrid, Albert and Dalia Samaniego; son, Mark Neumeyer and his children, Alexis, Marcus, and Anthony Neumeyer; daughter, Holly Marshall and her daughter, Brooklynn Moser, and a great-grandchild, Renley J. Dale Moser. Also surviving are many brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends. Besides his parents, William was preceded in death by his brothers and sisters.

Honoring William’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Private services to take place at a later date. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted with W. L. Case and Company Funeral Directors, 4480 Mackinaw Rd, Saginaw, MI 48603. Those planning an expression of sympathy may wish to consider memorials to the wishes of the family, in c/o Amber Samaniego.
