BOYS RANCH - Stuart Oliver Wells, 21, died Friday, Nov. 10, 2006, in Dallas.
Services will be at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Chapel at Boys Ranch with the Rev. Stephen Jennings officiating. Burial will be in Boys Ranch Cemetery with Art Hill, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church of Tyler, officiating. Arrangements are by Brooks Funeral Directors.

Stuart Wells was born Oct. 17, 1985, in his grandparents' home in Tyler. Years later he was born again as a child of God through Holy Baptism at a Baptist church in Overton. He graduated from Boys Ranch High School in 2004 and attended Tyler Junior College. Stuart had a special love for animals, leading him to enjoy his work at Rannals Veterinarian Clinic in Whitehouse. After being diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in January 2003, his goal was to work in the field of medicine. Rare is the person who can be such an inspiration of Christian faith and kindness, while enduring great personal suffering. Stuart lived his life trying to do the impossible, which contributed to his gallant fight with cancer.

Survivors include two brothers, James Whitehurst of Longview and Scott Whitehurst of Tyler; his grandparents, Bo and Lynda Shira of Whitehouse; his great-grandparents, Melvin and Jessie Gromatzky of Chandler; many aunts, uncles, cousins and extended families, including the Hebers, Jennings, Jones, King and Spencer families; and two special friends, Jeremy Spencer and Orry Jones.

The family suggests memorials be to Cal Farley's Boys Ranch, 600 W. 11th Ave., Amarillo, Texas 79101-3228.
