Mr. Daniel Wells, affectionately known as “Black”, was born on July 15, 1965, in Columbia, South Carolina. He was the youngest child of the late Ms. Louise Wells. He departed this life on December 18-19, 2021.
Daniel was educated in the public schools of Richland County, South Carolina and graduated from Dreher High School, Class of 1983.
Soon after high school he married Ms. Joann Morant and remained her spouse until her passing in 2008.
Daniel worked various driving jobs in the city until he acquired his CDL and became a long-distance truck driver all over the United States. Later he would work for the United States Postal Service hauling mail. His final employer was Land Air Transport.
Daniel was a very kind soul, so gentle and always smiling as he offered encouragement. No one was a nicer man than Daniel, but even as a child he was a real sweetheart. Daniel loved being in nature whether it was in parks, or on beaches, or lakes. He also enjoyed playing cards and games, especially Spades. He was an avid sports fan as well.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Daniel King and Louise Wells, and a brother, Gregg Wells.
