Obituary
Gage Bell’s family is heartbroken
to announce that he passed away Sunday, August 15,
2021, from injuries sustained in an automobile
accident. He was 16 and would have begun his junior
year at Hartsburg-Emden High School this week.
Gage was best described as a loving, kind, smart
goofball and someone who went out of his way to make
people smile. He loved working out with his cousin
Jayden, his honorary brother Caiden and Uncles Jose
and Jeremy; He loved food - some of his favorites
were his mom’s biscuits and gravy, Larry Kolvis’s
chicken and Deb Logue’s meatballs.
Gage enjoyed hanging out, wrestling and boxing with
his friends and his Dad. He was very close with his
younger sister, Gabriella, and she very much looked
up to him. Gage shared a special bond with his Mom
and Dad who will forever miss his daily hugs and
hearing him say ‘Love you Mom” and “Love you Pops”.
Gage was born on March 30, 2005 in Peoria, Illinois
to his parents Carlos Bell and Jessica Meaker of
Emden.
In addition to his parents, surviving are his sister
Gabriella Bell, brothers Nicholas and Terrence Bell
and Honorary brother Caiden Rossman; his maternal
grandparents Debra Bumba of Bloomington, Scott
(Lynn) Bumba of Hoffman Estates; paternal
Grandmother Hurestine Baldridge of Peoria, Illinois;
maternal great-grandmother Joann Bree of Creve
Coeur; Uncle Jeremy (Amber) Meaker of Downs,
Illinois; Aunt Jennifer (Jose) Flores of San Jose,
Illinois; Cousins Jayden and Kaleb Flores and many
loving extended family and friends.
