Celebration of Life
Truvie Gyles Wells
Jun 1, 1979 - Dec 7, 2025
Truvie Gyles Wells, age
46, of St. Amant,
Louisiana, peacefully
passed away in his sleep
on December 07, 2025.
Born in St. Amant in 1979,
Truvie grew up
surrounded by the warmth
and noise of a big
Louisiana family, an
upbringing that shaped
his bold spirit, generous
heart, and lifelong love of
the outdoors. From an
early age, he found a
deep peace on the water,
developing a passion for
fishing that stayed with
him throughout his life.
A proud graduate of St.
Amant High School's
Class of 1997, Truvie
followed his diploma by
becoming a master
electrician with the IBEW
electrical union and
worked all over the
country for years of
adventure. He traveled,
explored, and lived in a
way that made every story
worth retelling - something
his family can attest to.
Truvie had a knack for
slipping in and out of
life's scenes like a
legend: appearing
suddenly, sparking
laughter and joy, and
leaving behind memories
retold around countless
dinner tables.
Truvie is preceded in
death by his grandfathers
Truvie R. Wells and Gyles
Williams, cousin Krissi
Stafford, and other
beloved family members
who went before him. He
is survived by his parents,
Brad and Robin Wells; his
big brother, James
(Hannah) Wells; and his
little sister, Misty (Patrick)
McTernan along with
nieces, nephews, and
many loved ones who will
forever feel the space he
leaves behind including
close cousins and lifelong
friends who were like
brothers and sisters.
To those who knew him,
Truvie was larger than life.
Rest in peace, Truvie. You
left too soon. But the
stories, the laughter, and
the love you gave us will
echo for the rest of our
lives.
