Kyle Bell fought hard and always was concerned about what
was going on in my life more than telling me about his cancer. I am blessed to
have known him and I will truly truly miss him.
And then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on, and
you cast your fears aside, and you know you can survive. So, when you feel like
hope is gone, look inside you and be strong and you’ll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.
Our hearts are breaking as we say goodbye to our hero, Kyle
Vernon Bell. Kyle passed away peacefully at home after a courageous five-year
fight with colon cancer. Kyle was born in Logan, Utah, on November 19, 1976 to
Vernon J and Sherrie (Cornia) Bell.
Kyle attended school in Rich County and was part of the first
ever state championship football team for Rich High in 1994. He also earned the
rank of Eagle from the Boy Scouts of America. He graduated from Rich High
School in 1995 and then went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice
from Weber State University.
After college graduation he gained employment from Weber County
as a sheriff’s deputy. He loved working as a deputy and made many life-long
friends that he still kept in contact with. He also spent time working for
Black Butte Coal and Kohler Manufacturing. Prior to his passing he was employed
by Utah Department of Transportation at the port of entry in Echo Canyon where
he took great pride in keeping the highways safe. He made many friends there as
well.
The greatest love in Kyle’s life was being a father to his two
boys, Jack and Carter. They meant everything to him and you could see him
standing proudly on the sidelines taking pictures of whatever activity they
were involved in. Jack and Carter have many of the same amazing qualities that
Kyle had and will carry on his name as they go forward in life.
Kyle had many different hobbies. He enjoyed guns, hunting,
horses, ham radios and camping. He was more than happy to share his knowledge
with others and help them whether they were just starting out in the hobby or
had been doing it for years.
Kyle was preceded in death by his grandparents Hazen and Klea
Cornia and Jack and JoAnn Bell. He is survived by his sons, Jack and Carter
Bell, his parents, his sister Toni (Rick) DeBernardi; and a brother Josh
(Corie) Bell.
A graveside service was held Friday, March 29,2024, at
11a.m. at the Randolph Cemetery. In lieu of flowers we are setting up an
account for his boys to take care of their needs the next few years at Trona
Valley Credit Union.
