Keven Ramon Bell, born on May 10, 1974, in Nashville, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on the morning of January 10, 2025. He was born at Meharry Hospital and lived a life marked by dedication to his family, career, and community.

Keven graduated from Martin Luther King Jr. Magnet High School and went on to attend the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Following his education, he embarked on a successful career in healthcare, dedicating over two decades to Cigna, where he made a lasting impact through his work.

Keven is lovingly remembered by his parents, Ella Bell-Vannoy and Kenneth Ray Edmondson (Dorothy); his twin sister, Kristin Bell-Murin (Mark); sisters Yolanda Vannoy, Brittany Porter (Harry), and Shantale Edmondson; brothers Michael Vannoy Jr., Santonio Davis, and Kristopher Edmondson; and his cherished "life brothers," Lemeal Maddox III, William Crockett Jr., Danyell Martin, and Daryl Armstrong.

I met Keven at Cigna in 2009. Ever since that day we have been close friends. We counseled each other through good times and bad times- he helped me tremendously when I needed it and I am forever grateful.

I´ll miss you, my friend. Until we meet again.

I knew Keven through the most fraught time in any human's life: middle school. Then high school. Then later. Then in our forties. I have met few individuals that were consistently good, chill, decent, tough and no nonsense, but caring as all get out like Keven. Anyone who knew him, is enriched by his continuing presence in their life. Bless you, Keven. Rest in peace, and in power.

I would like to send my deepest condolences to Keven´s family.
Keven had been my manager at Cigna for the past 4 years. We all were devastated to learn of his passing on Friday. He was such a kind, gentle, caring man. I loved his devotion to the Lord and his caring disposition. Keven will be sadly missed and never forgotten! RIP Keven.
