Ian Christopher Bell, 44, of Kinston, NC passed away Wednesday, February 14, 2024 at UNC Chapel Hill. He was a beloved son, brother, father, uncle and husband. Ian's sense of humor and mischievous ways will be missed. He has left a hole in the family that will be impossible to fill. Ian loved sports and of course music, especially Widespread Panic. He will always be remembered as a genuine and authentic person who cherished his beloved daughter with all his heart and was a loving partner to his wife. He will surely be missed by us all. 

"Never let a single memory fade away." -Widespread Panic

He is preceded in death by his father, Michael Kenneth Bell. 

Ian is survived by his wife, Laura Bell; daughter, Izabella Sophia Bell; mother, Joy Bell; sister, Erin Colleen Bell; brother, John Michael Bell and wife Ariel Warden; nephew, Brendan Buffington and wife Julia Timmerman; dogs, Sadie and Biggie; mother and father-in-law, Dr. John D. Cranwell Sr. and Sharon Cranwell; brother-in-law, Dakin Cranwell Jr. 

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. 

In lieu of flowers, Ian's wishes are that contributions be made to the Ian Bell Memorial Fund for his daughter, Izabella Sophia Bell.
