Ryan Wesley Bell

We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Ryan Wesley Bell on July 5, 2020, in Pompano Beach, FL. He was born on April 24, 1984, at South Miami Hospital. He grew up in Miami, graduating from Palmetto Senior high school in 2002.

Ryan was a devoted, protective son and his sweet spirit was recognized by all who knew him. He had a charismatic personality and made friends easily. His life is defined by his goodness and kindness for all living beings, animals, and the sea.

Ryan had an older sister, Shannon, whom he adored. Last year, his nephew and namesake, Jon Ryan Quesada was born. Ryan relished his new role as uncle and the resemblance between them is remarkable.

We are grieving the loss of this beautiful soul taken far too soon. We are also celebrating his life and the joy he brought to our family.

Addiction is a terrible disease, patient, and insidious and we hope his journey will not be in vain.

Ryan is survived by his loving mother, Janice Wardy Bell, Father Robert Bell, sister, Shannon Bell, Diane, and Jack Holmes, Don and Sue Wardy, Nicky and Joanne Wardy, Pat, and Mike Bell, many cousins, nieces, nephews, and loving girlfriend, Rebecca Hill.
