Thomas E. “Tom” Wells, age 64, of Gig Harbor and Cle Elum, Washington, formerly of Hudson, Wisconsin died unexpectedly on March 11, 2025.
Born on February 14, 1961 in Hudson, Wisconsin, Tom was raised in Hudson and graduated from Hudson High School in 1979. Tom graduated from Montana State University in Bozeman, with a Bachelor of Science in Geology. He met his wife Jenifer in Bozeman and they were married in 1991. Tom owned and operated Greater Seattle Floors for thirty years.
Tom had a passion for the great outdoors, whether he was camping, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, or just enjoying a day on the boat. One of Tom’s biggest passions was elk hunting in the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming with his brothers, family & friends. He loved nothing more than gathering with family and friends. Tom enjoyed cheering on his favorite football and baseball teams. His profound generosity extended beyond his family; he was always there to lend a listening ear or a helping hand for anyone in need. Many will remember him as the man who was perpetually triple-booked yet always showed up, and was always only ten minutes away.
Tom’s love for life was evident in everything he did, from his incredible gardening and cooking skills to his treasured trips to Dairy Queen. He had a special bond with his beloved dogs Kirby & Edgar, and he took pride in the joy they brought to his life. He also enjoyed winding down with some FOX News and sharing a good laugh, thanks to his tremendous sense of humor.
He will be greatly missed by his wife Jenifer, his brothers & sisters John (Sue) Wells, Dan Wells, Mary Wells, Pat Wells (Dave Lamangan), Margaret (Greg) Sanderson, Jeanne (Jeff) Denis; sisters-in-law Bonnie Wells, Jackie Wells, Vickie Carroll, Lori Carroll (Debbie Sanchez), Amy Vergith (Angel Quilles); and numerous nieces & nephews.
Preceded in death parents John & Anita; brothers Mike & Tim; brother-in law Roger Morgan; nephew Syber Wells; parents-in-law Thomas & Earlene Carroll.
