You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart I will always be with you." -Winnie the Pooh On July 23, 2022 at 3:26 p.m., Dale Glen Bell, loving husband, devoted father of 6, and friend to all took his last breath at the young age of 60. He was one of 8 children and the youngest son. After high school he became a land surveyor and loved every minute of it. He eventually became Survey Party Chief, leading and teaching crews of men through their work. In July of 1987 he met the love of his life, Miracle Bell. The night they met he went home to tell his mother that he met the woman he knew he was going to marry. In September 1987, he would do just that and tied the knot. They would have 6 children. Sons, who were the oldest, Jeremy and Justin Bell, and 4 daughters that would follow, Lauren, Karisa, Michalla and Julia. Dale would tell you one of his greatest accomplishments were his wonderful children. "God took the strength of a mountain, the majesty of a tree, the warmth of the summer sun, the calm of a quiet sea, the generous soul of nature, the comforting arm of night, the wisdom of the ages, the power of the eagles flight, the joy of a morning in spring, the faith of a mustard seed, the patience of eternity, the depth of a family need, Then god combined these qualities, when there was nothing more to add, he knew his masterpiece was complete, and so, he called it dad." -Unknown Along with his children, he also had the privilege of teaching many young men and women during his years as a Party Chief. Dale believed leaving behind a legacy meant helping people better themselves for the sake of their future. "Learning means growing, and growing helps you to accomplish your dreams." There wasn't a single person who met him that did not eventually consider family. On top of having a heart of gold, he selflessly gave every chance that he had. An incredible sense of humor was a constant light in people's lives as they were walking through trials and tribulations. He would often remind people of the late comedian and actor, Robin Williams. It didn't matter what he was dealing with, he was always there to lend a hand, spread some light, crack some jokes, and just simply love on people. He told his children, "It doesn't matter what your situation is, treat everyone you meet with kindness for people face battles they do not speak about." That is a legacy he leaves behind. His children still use that comment in my everyday life. Dale had a servant's heart and a selfless attitude in every obstacle he faced. His children, close friends and every soul he touched chooses to carry that same heart and attitude every day. "When a great man dies, for years beyond our ken, the light he leaves behind him lies upon the paths of men." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
