Robert Wells III (1997 - 2020)


Robert Wells, III was born in St. Bernard Parish, October 9, 1997 to Robert Wells, Jr. and Deborah Wells. He spent the years after hurricane Katrina in the St. Charles Parish area until his murder on Sunday, February 16, 2020. As loving parents, we were not prepared for the untimely, tragic death of our young son He was a wonderful, funny, intelligent, talented and compassionate young man until the false desires of fast money and instant gratification lured him away from the morals and ethics instilled in him from a young age.

Tough Love did not deter his mindset to stay involved in the streets. We always hoped that one day his parents' Love and commitment to him would prevail and he would abandon that life. It did not. His life ended almost instantly at 22 years old, alone in a car under a barrage of gunfire. All the fast money, cars and "things" that seemingly were of importance to him, meant nothing at his crossing. We hope and pray that Robert never bestowed this kind of senseless violence upon anyone else's child, and if this obituary can offer the opportunity for another young person to realize the streets offer nothing but heartache, pain, and ultimately death, Robert's life will not have been in vain. His pained soul is now set free from all worldly desires. Dear God, please take our son, the most precious gift you could bestow upon us at his birth, back once again as your Heavenly son. Lord, keep him in your loving arms for eternity and, forgive us. Robert was predeceased by his grandparents Robert and Bertha Wells, Sr. and George H. Dupard, Sr., Ingeborg Thurston (Richard). He leaves behind a brother, Antonio, girlfriend Hailey, and many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

There will be no service for Robert. Instead we kindly ask you to make a small donation in his name to any at-risk youth programs. Until we meet again Son, you'll forever be in our hearts.

a right time is when he is alive. If it falls on deaf ears then that’s on y’all. Y’all raised him. If you read this obituary at 22 you would be like that’s fucked up. Not once did they mention anything good about the boy. I’m not gonna use my failure as a parent and my sons death as a lesson to others. Others don’t care.

this is one of my problems with you bruh.

you have no idea who you can affect with what you say.

you dont know who could be reached at when they are open to be reached.

all this right time, this and that. thats bullshit.

you will never say the right shit for everyone. no matter when its said. but it needs to be said.

changing one life can stop a potential serial killing or create the next president.

and why it gotta be they failed as parents? dont people develop their own identities? they could be great parents but dude could have been a shitty entitled kid.

i could have swore you once said you cant blame the parents for their kids actions all the time.

and yes, people tend to want to teach lessons when their loved ones die....thats why people say get checked for cancer, get tested, make amends with loved ones because you never know and all that other shit.
 
The parents some bitches and assholes for doing that shit.

Fucked up they tried to embarrass their child in his death because they feel the lifestyle he lived embarrassed them as parents.
 
Children develop their own identities but they'll also do what you allow them to in their formative years.

Keep letting this "children can decide for themselves" bullshit be your motto for parenting and watch where it gets you.
 
eh kinda torn...


if he was living that kinda life...he clearly didn't plan a funeral,prolly no kids or life insurance....so funeral cost gonna have to come outta pocket...


so it's not like his wishes aren't' being honored..amd the only people who are missing out are folk who were gonna come to a church or formal service....and maybe they not a church family, so they don't see the need in organizing and paying for all that....yall normally champion the abolition of traditions for no reason other than tradition.....so what's the point of a funeral?? really???


when niggaz die in the streets, their homies normally give candle light vigils.. if his parents didn't fuck with him cuz of him running the streets, his people will prolly will still have shit for him...so again who's really hurting cuz there's no formal funeral?
 
so we also gonna tell maybe frustrated parents how to grieve?
mom may be hella hurt and got tired of getting her door kicked in or house shot up or whatever and now she has to bury him......
why dont know what he brung on them or what he left them to deal with.

a mix of many emotions have people saying what may not seem normal.
yall in here assuming alot.

but again...

lets all agree.

yea

guess ill go an apologize to gayle king
 
He was out living the trapping and banging lifestyle because his parents were corny? That's like saying because somebody had parents who were strictly religous and barely let them do things growing up gives an excuse for the kid to be in the streets. That sounds more like them trying to prevent the outcome at hand.
