Ian Christopher Bell

Ian Christopher Bell, 44, of Kinston 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
