Jimmy Wellner

Jimmy passed away quietly at his home on Wednesday morning with family by his side. He is survived by wife Debbie Wellner, his lap/guard dog, Baby; sons Robert, Michael and Jamie Wellner; daughter Patty Duke Knoll; grandkids Chris and Scott Duke, Sloane, Kaleb, and Bodi Wellner; step daughter, Brandy Jordan; and step grandchildren MaCamry, and Korday Jordan. There was nothing he enjoyed more than fishing at his favorite spot on Lake Overholser behind the old Casey's bait house, a favorite meeting place for him and his wife to share with family and friends. He served in the U.S. Air Force and was a man of many trades. He spent much of his life behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler where he was able to share much of his travels over the United States with family and friends.
