October 3, 1961 – October 21, 2025
Born in Fort Frances Ontario to Colleen Wells (Mallory) and Wilfred (Bob) Wells, Robert spent his entire life in Winnipeg.
He was a dedicated carrier for the Winnipeg Free Press and an avid consumer of all things techie. After teaching himself how to use a computer Robert moved on to an IPod, IPhone and IPad seldom being without at least one.
Robert loved family and stayed connected to them thru daily calls and texts. Everyone on his list could be assured of knowing they would hear from him regularly. He had many friends but of note is his exceptional long-time friendship with Heather Hooper. They met at a young age and maintained their friendship through almost daily phone calls or FaceTime connections.
After suffering a stroke in September of 2024 Robert subsequently resided at Selkirk Mental Health Centre in the Acquired Brain Injury program where he received excellent support and enjoyed the attention of the staff. Cremation has occurred and Robert will be placed in the family plot in Ontario with his parents.
There will be a memorial service to be announced at a later date
