Today should have been a celebration.
There should have been birthday candles.
Laughter filling the room.
Family gathered around Nolan Wells as he stepped into another year of a life that was still full of dreams and possibilities.

His family says they will continue carrying his memory forward while seeking answers about the circumstances surrounding his death.
Because remembering Nolan means more than looking back.
It means continuing the search for the truth.
A FAMILY STILL WAITING

Yet even through the pain, they continue honoring the person Nolan was and the legacy he left behind.
TODAY, THEY SAY HIS NAME
Today is not only about remembering how Nolan’s life ended.

The kindness.
The dreams.
The person loved by so many.
Happy heavenly 19th birthday, Nolan Xavier Wells.
Your family continues to honor you.
Your memory continues to inspire people.
And the search for the truth continues.
