Jeffery Edwin

Bell

Mr. Jeffery E. Bell, 64 of Toledo, Ohio was born September 22, 1961, and passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Perrysburg location. He was preceded in death by both parents, Barbara L. Bell and Wilbert Brown, Sr.; his grandmother, Sarah Bell, and his brother Wilbert H. Bell. Many might be surprised to know as a child, Jeff was good with his hands, particularly with small electronics and appliances. He would dismantle lamps, and radios and put them back together and they worked like new.

Jeffery attended the Toledo Public School system, where he met many of his lifelong friends and family. Jeffery know he could dress to impress! He was not about to step out unless his fit was right! He was a fun-loving, caring, adventurous, and life of the party type of guy. He was a people person and loved helping people in any way he could. Jeff was very hospitable and enjoyed making people feel seen and comfortable. He especially loved cooking for people, particularly the elderly and those who were sick and shut in. He was the type of person that would give you the shirt off his back, or his second to last dollar. But do not be mistaken, he was also a bit of a firecracker too because he would pop off if it came down to it, but it was out of love.

Jeffery enjoyed pretty much everything he did and participated in. He loved skating, playing cards, and partying with friends and family. He loved his fellowship community. The fellowship community helped support Jeff through good and tough times, to keep him on the right track. For work, he was a manager at Burger King for a good while, where it meant a lot to him to train people so that they too could succeed. Jeffrey was a believer in Christ and was a member at United Vision Baptist Church, where he took pride in serving as an usher.

Those who will carry on to celebrate his life are his sister, Retha Bell-Martin, brothers, Darrell Bell, and Rahshon Stallworth (Luisa Sigarroa); nephews, Myron Bell, Sr. (Kim), and Antione Martin; niece, Cherise Washington (Clarence); uncle, James Bell of California; aunt, Rosilee Bell; cousins, Odetta Young (Gregory), and Fatima Bell, all of New Jersey; and Juanita Bransford of St. Louis. Many half brothers and sisters, the Brown family of Milwaukee, WI, and the Hood family of Toledo, Ohio. Special brothers, Ricky Henry and Cedric Hood; and special sister, Susan Avery. Good friend from childhood, Paul Coogler, his fellowship family, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Jeff was known and loved by many, and he will be dearly missed.
