Fred Olen

Wells

Fred Olen Wells, 71, of Washington, Oklahoma, passed away on December 13, 2022, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The son of Fred Ownell Wells and Lawanda June (McCool) Wells, he was born September 17, 1951, in Purcell, Oklahoma.

Olen was a man of simple pleasures, but he was very passionate about those pleasures. In fact, as stated by his family he had exactly five passions in life: cards, family, music, Dr. Pepper, and Sonic ice. Olen worked in radio over 40 years in Kansas and Oklahoma. Naturally, that allowed his love of music to flourish. He was an encyclopedia of music, always being able to hear a song and name the title, artist, the date it was released, and many other facts pertaining to it. Outside of music, he had a deep love for his late wife, Debbie Gayle (Miles) Wells. Olen had a habit of writing her notes every single day. In his spare time, enjoyed being outside when he was able to be, watching game shows on TV, enjoyed sports, and loved his Carl's Jr. breakfast. Olen will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Debbie Gayle (Miles) Wells, his parents, Fred Ownell Wells and Lawanda June (McCool) Wells, and father-in-law, Charles Miles.

Olen is survived by one son Jeremy Walters and his wife, Erin, of Atlanta, Georgia; one daughter, Ashley Prieto and her husband, Glen, of San Antonio, Texas; one sister, Peggy Knippelmier and her husband, Larry, of Blanchard, Oklahoma; one grandson, Miles Walters; two nieces, Keri Kelsey and her husband, Curt, and Julie Kiker and her late husband, Stephen; his caregiver, Gina Pauls; mother-in-law, Faye Miles of Meridian, Mississippi; and many other loving family members and friends.
