Michael Wayne Bell

Michael Wayne Bell passed on July 23rd 2020. He was born on Aug 2nd in 1951 in Salt Lake city, Utah to Ruth Diane Bell and Wayne Victor Bell. 

   Mike loved and cherished his family and the time he got to spend with them. He was the eldest of his seven brother and sisters who he loved teaching to hunt, fish and ski especially because those were his favorite things to do as a child. 

   Later in life he married his soul mate Robin Jean Bell on August 27th 1982 and spent the next 36 years making amazing memories until her passing in 2018.

   He had 3 children that he was beyond proud of who later gave him 4 amazing grandchildren that he absolutely treasured. 

   Mike was a master mechanic that could fix anything as well as turning any ordinary thing into something extraordinary. He had a passion for working on cars especially if it was a hot rod. He also served some time in the national guard in his youth.

   Mike often spent his time exploring mother nature while camping, fishing, and four- wheeling especially after his recently found love for rockhounding with his daughter Rachelle and grandson Oliver. 

    He also enjoyed reading and listening to books on tape, drinking coffee on the backyard swing in the morning sun with his sweet pup Hope as well as watching a great thunderstorm in the middle of the rain.

   Many people that didn't get the opportunity to truly get the chance to know him often thought of him as such a "grumpy soul" but truly he had a heart of gold that would do anything for anyone he could.

He will be forever missed!

He is survived by his children Dustin, Shannon(James), and Rachelle, his four grandchildren Oliver, Lily, Olivia, and Henry.

His siblings Linda(Lyle), Jeanyne, Lloyd(Paula), Russell(Annette), Barbara, Raymond (Glen), Darren(Lisa)

As well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

He is also survived by his adopted family The Roses and his Best friend's Sal and Nonnie Delgado.

There will be a celebration of Life with details coming soon.
