Kerry Allan Bell, affectionately known as Kay-Bee, was born on June 25, 1968 to Dock and Josephine Bell [preceded him in death), in Cleveland, Ohio. He was the middle child of three siblings. Kerry accepted Christ at an early age. He was baptized at Mt. Hermon Baptist Church in Cleveland, Ohio under the leadership of Rev. Robert L. Fuller.
Kerry attended John Dewey Elementary School, Randallwood Middle School, Warrensville Hts Junior High, and graduated from Warrensville Hts High School in 1986. Kerry was very athletic and played both JV and Varsity Football and Basketball. Shortly after High School, Kerry started his employment career and worked at the City of Warrensville Hts Sanitation Department.
Kerry was very much a people person and very popular amongst his friends. Always the life of the party and loved to dance (sometimes even by himself on the dance floor). Kerry was always ready to have a good time. He was a huge sports fan. He enjoyed watching the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Cavaliers and the Cleveland Guardians. He was big on knowing the stats of the
players and you would often catch him with the sports section of the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper in his back pocket. Kerry also took pride in his hair and appearance. He thought his waves was the coldest in the city. You could always catch him with his wave brush and his durag. Kerry made sure that his clothes were properly ironed and pants with a crease. During any conversations with Kay-Bee, you were sure to hear his favorite saying "Huh Man".
Kerry leaves to cherish his memory to his beloved daughters, Shynice Steward and Marnisha Bell. Two sisters; Vanessa Pilkington and Sharolyn Jones (Donald). Two granddaughters; Marshae Bell and Aubree Steward. Six nieces; Brandy, Vandis, Sashay, Shonte (Anwar], Porsha, and Alexus. Two nephews; Donald and Donte (Carrion). One uncle and a host of Great nieces and nephews, cousins, family, and friends who will miss him greatly.
