Wilton Alexander “Shiheim“ Wells III

Mr. Wilton Alexander Wells III affectionately called “Shiheim” of Elizabeth City,NC no longer answers to his name on this side of the Jordan and the Horton’s Servants of Service are comforting his heartbroken loved ones with sincere compassion. Mr. Wells wrote the last sentence of his “Life Sketch” on Tuesday, January 19,2021 in Baltimore, Maryland.
