Ron Wells
1961-2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Ron Wells, The Den Theatre's Chief of Operations. Ron has been a founding member of The Den since 2010; a constant presence, and invaluable friend and co-worker. All who have come to The Den will recognize Ron's booming voice over the loudspeaker inviting you into the theatre and his sharp whistle to cheer on the conclusion of shows in our Heath Mainstage. He cared deeply about the growth of The Den as an institution, and his compassion extended to every employee, patron, and performer.
Ron's passing is a monumental and irreplaceable loss to The Den Family. We will miss him everyday, and we will honor his memory by carrying on his traditions, of which there are many.
A Celebration of Life honoring Ron Wells will be held at The Den Theatre on Monday, August 4th. Doors open at 6:00 PM with the ceremony beginning at 7:00 PM. We invite all who knew and loved Ron to join us in remembering his life, sharing stories, and celebrating the impact he had on so many.
