Jeffrey Travis Wells, age 28, of Winter Haven, Florida, passed away Saturday, February 18, 2023, from injuries sustained in a vehicle accident.

Born June 13, 1994, in Bartow, Florida, he is the beloved son of Jeff and Sherry Wells of Winter Haven, Florida; brother of Jaquelyn Chambers (Jessica) of Citra, Florida; and grandson of Elizabeth Trent (and the late Travis Edwin Trent) of Morehead Kentucky, and Frances Jean Wells of Winter Haven, Florida.

Others to cherish his memory include aunts Joyce (Phil) Blake of Morehead, Kentucky, Janet (Mark) Moore of Ashland, Kentucky, and uncle TJ (Penney) Trent of Morehead, Kentucky; cousins Justin Blake (Selena Vela)  of Lebanon, Indiana, Richmond Blake (Long Lam) of Washington, DC, Austin Blake (Kayla) and (their children Kennedi and Oliver) of Morehead, Kentucky, Stephen (Jessica) Moore of Gallipolis, Ohio, Kacey Moore (Nathaniel Bartram) of Ashland, Kentucky, and Bailey Trent of Morehead, Kentucky, as well as great aunts, uncles, extended family and friends.

Jeffrey was an energetic, curious, and joyful person who enjoyed living life to the fullest.  He graduated from Ridge Community High School in Davenport, Florida, and loved his work as a surveyor for Pennoni Engineering in Winter Haven, Florida. A people person, he enjoyed his co-workers, friends, children, and strangers alike.  In fact, he never met a stranger as he could have a conversation about any topic with anyone anytime. Always curious, he loved figuring out how anything worked and had no fear of taking on any task and getting it done.  Jeffrey had many interests; he loved the outdoors, all animals, various types of music, and time spent with family and friends.  He especially loved being on the farm in Kentucky and being able to explore and research the land.  He will always be affectionally known as “the Chief” and remembered with love.

Jeffrey was an active athlete in golf, football, baseball and basketball.  Donations to Ridge Community High School Bolts Boosters can be made in his name at Cash app: $ijinw.
