NOLAN WELLS' FRIENDS BREAK THEIR SILENCE OPENING UP ABOUT GRIEF, FAITH AND FACING DEATH THREATS

So you guys miss Nolan? Of course. More than anything. You think about him often? He doesn't leave my mind. He doesn't leave my mind. For the first time since Nolan Wells' mysterious death, his grieving friends are speaking out about the tragedy. I really think all this happened so that we could get closer to God. I think like that's the reason behind it. I was like, if this did anything, it got us all closer to God. Nolan was found face down on the island. Unfortunately, he had passed away in a horrible tragedy. I was trying to hang on to hope for the I mean, two days, your your body's missing and there's not a sign and then I got the phone call that they had found his body and, um, obviously we were all traumatized. I mean, he was genuinely like the best person you could possibly meet. Like if if he was in your presence, you wouldn't have to worry about anything. I mean, you were having fun that day or From the from the day I met Nolan, he was just a genuine soul. I know he was a good dude and he was a good friend to surround myself with. So I learned to lean on the Lord. I know my friends did as well. I uh and I know that's what Nolan would want me to do. His friends say they're now trying to pick up the pieces—turning to God, thinking of Nolan every day, and coping with thousands of death threats. So you've received death threats? How many do you think? Thousands. They've dragged my family into this, they've dragged my closest friends into this, and they've dragged amazing people all across the board into this that do not deserve this at all. I received plenty, plenty, plenty of death threats, um, like bomb threats in the mail. Um, like you said, every day we're getting death threats.
