Kevin Kylegene Bell (Buzzy)

On June 4th, 1960, Kevin was born to Elmer and Ava Bell. He left his mother's tiny body as a breech baby and never stopped going through life his own way, making great memories with friends and family and telling the best stories of all of his orneriness and adventures, big and small. Kevin was one of the kindest men to ever walk this earth. He was the one you called for help, for direction, for a laugh, or to sit and have a beer. He was simply the one you looked forward to seeing. If you were lucky enough to be in his presence, you knew you were going to be loved, supported, welcomed, offered help with a project, and on frequent occasions, surprised by some of the world's best pranks or a toothpick kiss.

Some of his best stories and memories came from growing up in the Mona Kay addition. From motorcycles to mustangs there were always epic adventures had. If you were a friend to Kevin when he was 12, you are still a friend to this day, family, in fact.

Kevin was a hard worker. He started at a young age working at Sambos, where I believe he learned how to make the best breakfast you could've ever had. From there, he went on to work at Vickers gas station, Beechcraft, and Miller Distribution Company, then retiring from Spirit AeroSystems, where he worked for 35 years.

Kevin enjoyed long summer pool days surrounded by friends and family, Sundays cheering on the Chiefs, getting dirty on his 4-wheeler, cruising on his motorcycle, and traveling in his motorhome, visiting friends and parking at the lake. If you are reading this, you were there sharing in some of these times, or you heard about the good times because he really knew how to live life to its fullest.

Entirely too soon, Kevin was taken from us, leaving behind the love of his life, Pamela Nail Bell. For 43 years, they were each other's constant companion and built a remarkable life and relationship to be adored by so many. He also leaves behind 3 very loved daughters, Tiffany Bell, Lindsey (Kierstyn) Bell, Amanda (Brandon) Borin, and Grandson Jaden (Brittnay) Bell, who he loved and considered to be his only son; his big sister Candy (Mark) Gayer and Niece Amy (Sally) Bailly-Kaufman to whom Buzzys shoes will never be filled. He was the best Papa to 10 Grandsons, 2 Granddaughters, and 3 Great grandkids, Sister in Law Kim Nail and Brother in Law Larry (Suzanne) Nail. He was adoringly called Buzz to a total of 20 additional nieces, nephews, great and great-great nieces, and nephews. The love he gave us, the lessons he taught, and the strength he shared will remain with us forever.
