In memory of "The Real Kelly Bell” whose life journey began in Markham, Illinois, and embraced the vibrant essence of Chicago’s west side.
Baptized at Greater St. John Baptist Church, Kelly was a beacon of love and community from his earliest days. A master plumber by trade, following in his father’s footsteps, Kelly's true essence was captured in the joy and love he shared freely with those around him.
Beyond his professional skills, Kelly was the soul of any gathering - dancing with unmatched energy, strategizing over dominoes and bid whist, and cooking up dishes that warmed the heart. Kelly's kindness was his hallmark, making everyone he met feel like a friend.
Today, we honor “The Real Kelly Bell” not just for the happiness he spread but for the genuine, kind spirit he embodied. His legacy is one of laughter, generosity, and an unwavering love for people. Farewell, Kelly Bell, your light shines on in the memories we hold dear.
