Born November 30, 1970, in Madison, he was a son of Judy D. Bell and the late Ancil Ray Bell. Also preceding him in death was his wife, Michelle Bell; grandparents, Clarence and Rachael Bell, Clyde Baisden and Erna Cutlip; step-grandfather, George Cutlip, and his first nephew, Michael Corey Bell.
Eddie had many loves in his life, foremost was his children, Susan and Casey. They brought so much joy to him; they made him proud to see what a fine young woman and man they have become. Eddie also loved and cherished his nieces and nephews, Brittany, Cole, Austin and RaeLynn. Eddie was a longtime Washington Redskins fan, whether they won or lost, since he was nine years old. Along with his wife Michelle, Eddie was an avid NASCAR fan, especially Jeff Gordon. He enjoyed camping, 4-wheeling and just being with his many friends and family.
In his 41 years, Eddie touched so many with his kind spirit and his ever present smile. Although it wasn't nearly enough time to be here on earth, his humble heart and smile will live on in each of us.
Additionally, those left to cherish his memory include his two children, Susan Elizabeth Burnette and Casey “Edward” Bell; one step-son, Lee Dingess II; two brothers, Ancil Ray Junior (Sherry) Bell and Mike (Christa) Bell; one brother-in-law, Mikey Workman; his soon-to-be granddaughter due in July; and his father and mother-in-law, Mike and Mary Workman.
