Tyree Wells, 26, of White Shield/Parshall, ND passed unexpectedly on Monday, June 1, 2026.

Tyree Marie Wells “Robin” was born on June 15, 1999, to Tyler Ralph Wells and Heather Crystal Everett in Minot North Dakota. One month after birth Tyree received her Arikara name from her Great Grandmother Melphine Everett, carrying the name June Berry Blossom.

Tyree attended school in Wahpeton, Fargo, New Town and Bismarck, ND. Later attending GED classes in Bismarck, ND. While living in Fargo, Tyree participated in track, running the 200-meter dash and hurdles. She was naturally a fast runner who ran with the grace of a gazelle. She also had a dream of becoming a paleontologist, as she loved dinosaurs.

Tyree was the oldest child of both her parents and was a loving big sister/brother to Harmony Weber, Peace Weber and Markenna Wells.

Growing up, Tyree was a quiet energetic child, a little ball of energy with a timid spirit not wanting to draw to much attention. Tyree loved building Lego sets and, after completing them, would give them away. Tyree like most young people loved video games. Since she was always on the go, she made sure to always have her Nintendo Switch wherever she went. She also made sure to have access to Netflix so she could catch a movie along the way.

No one could make her wear a dress for anything. Tyree was a tomboy and a two spirited soul who will also be remembered as Robin Oliver Wells. He had his own spirit, his own style and his own way of moving through the world. Robin loved animals, especially his cats Toothless, Otis and Whiskey who were his fur babies. Robin loved skateboarding and never failed to ask Santa for a new longboard each Christmas. Robin enjoyed listening to music with his mom and had an eclectic collection of songs he would listen to while in his own little world. He also had an interest in aliens, fairies and dragons all passed down from his mom. His imagination carried whole worlds inside it.

In the remaining years of his life Robin traveled and visited many places. When not being a nomad you could often find him at his grandma Madonna's house or spending time with his many cousins or friends.

Tyree preferred to go by his chosen name Robin with the pronouns He/Him/His. Robin worked hard to live more fully as himself. To many family members she will always be the child they first knew as Tyree which she gracefully allowed them to continue using. While not everyone loved the fact and found it hard to adjust, we as his family wish to honor him in the way he would have appreciated. People who knew him as an adult and his friends would be corrected. He leaves behind family who loved him deeply and will miss him beyond what words can express. His memory will go on through everyone who knew him and all the countless people he shared his energy with.

Robin is preceded in death by his Mother Heather Crystal Everett; Grandfather Russell Wayne Everett Sr.; Great-Great-Grandfather Felix Dickens Sr.; and Great-Great-Grandmother Maxine Hosie Dickens; Great-Great Grandfather, Thomas Wells Sr.; Great-Grandmothers, Laurie Alberts, Cleo Wells and Mary Wells; and Great-Great-Grandmother Marie Deane Wells.

Tyree is survived by her Father Tyler Wells; Siblings: Brother Peace Weber, Sisters Harmony Weber and Markenna Wells, Grandparents: Madonna Dickens, Thomas and Dorothy Wells; Uncles: Christopher Everett Sr., Mickel Everett, Russell Wayne Everett Jr., Jackson Ripley and Daniel Ripley; Aunts: Rebecca Fox (Chad), Michelle Everett, Corrine Felix-Wells (Daniel) and Lindsey Stevenson (Hunter), Uncle/Dad Dakota “Makota” Irwin. As well as many cousins, nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Family and Friends Service will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Thompson Funeral Home, Garrison, ND. The Family will be greeting friends and family starting at 10:00 AM.

Nathan Bostow was born on April 5, 1940, to Luke and Rose (Strilcov) Bostow. Nathan attended school in Max until the 8th grade when he decided to go to work for his father at the family business. Working at the Benedict Implement alongside his father led to his lifelong career in the Case IH industry.

In 1978, Nathan married Linda Herman and later divorced. Through this marriage he gained three stepchildren (Kerby, Ken, Debbie) and they remained an important part of his life. In 1979, Nathan’s daughter Nicole was born followed by the birth of his son Vince in 1982.

In 1983, Luke retired and sold the Benedict Implement, so Nathan moved his family to Garrison. This is where he continued his lifelong journey in the Case IH parts business working as a parts man with Berntson Equipment in Garrison, Underwood Implement, and Schwarz Implement in Garrison. He retired in May of 2002 just in time to welcome his grandchildren. Nathan’s children and grandchildren were his greatest joy. Nathan was anxiously waiting for the birth of his first great-grandchild.

Nathan enjoyed many things throughout his life. He enjoyed ice fishing, snowmobiling, and was in several bowling leagues in his younger years. Later in life he enjoyed feeding and watching wildlife, visits from his children and grandchildren, enjoying westerns, and going for drives. He never would turn down a trip to the local Dairy Queen for a sundae. In October of 2023 Nathan moved to the Meadows Assisted Living where he resided until his death. Nathan will be greatly missed and we will cherish all of the special memories we had with him.

Nathan is survived by his children, Nicole Folden of Garrison, Vince (Heather) Bostow of Max; grandchildren, Skyla (Ben) Heger of Underwood, Berkley Gieser of Garrison, Dawson and Madisyn Bostow of Max; stepchildren, Kerby Sandberg of Garrison, Ken (Karmen) Sandberg and family of Bismarck, Debbie (Jason) Hartung and family of Sawyer; sister, Twila Olson of Glendale, Arizona; and many nieces and nephews.

Nathan is preceded in death by his parents, Luke and Rose Bostow; son-in-law Kevin Folden; brother-in-law, Orvie Olson; and niece, Reeon Olson.
