Kevin Bell, Missouri Community Mourns Beloved Father and Friend

Kevin Bell, Missouri—It is with deep sadness that the community shares the passing of Kevin Bell on Monday, October 21st, at Barnes Jewish Hospital. Kevin was known for his kind spirit, contagious laughter, and dedication to his family, particularly his 10-year-old son, Austin. Kevin’s death follows a major heart attack that led to complications, including a severe brain bleed, making medical intervention impossible.

Kevin’s loss is a tragic blow for Austin, who had already lost his mother, Becky, four years ago. The Bell family, especially Austin, now faces another immense heartbreak. Cathy, Rich, and April made the heart-wrenching decision to remove Kevin from life support, allowing him to reunite with Becky.

The Missouri community, led by friends and coworkers, has rallied around the Bell family during this difficult time. Gettemeier’s, a place where Kevin was well-loved, posted a heartfelt tribute, expressing the grief and loss felt by all who knew him. The establishment also plans to share details about memorial services soon, inviting everyone to share their memories of Kevin.

Many have taken to social media to honor Kevin’s memory. Chris Braudis shared, “Kevin is finally back with Becky! All our love to the Bell family and Austin!” Laura Marie reflected, “My thoughts and prayers go out to Kevin’s family and all who knew and loved him. I’m praying for their little boy.” Team Trivia with Sharon expressed disbelief, “This is just tragic. Poor little Austin.” Others like Cathy Bell, Sue Ampleman-Moretti, and Kirsten Hieken shared similar sentiments, sending prayers for the family and remembering Kevin for his warmth and kindness.

In an effort to help Austin through this difficult time, a fundraiser organized by Shayna Cunningham is raising funds for Kevin’s hospital and funeral expenses. Any remaining donations will go toward Austin’s future educational pursuits. The community is encouraged to support and contribute as they are able.

Kevin’s kindness and love for his family will always be remembered, and his legacy will continue through Austin, the child he adored.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bell family, especially young Austin, during this incredibly difficult time.
