I am so sorry for the loss of Tyrone. I worked with him at a number of sites, just recently in Byron. He was a great guy with a huge heart. I will miss his humor . He was one hell of a guy. John Hubbard Sterling Il

I was shocked to find out today that the sweet man that I see weekly at the Renovation and Expansion of RVC Classroom Building One had now passed on from this world. He handled himself with grace and dignity and was always a gentleman to me, one of the only women on the construction job- Architect for RVC CLI

My sincere condolences to the entire Bell family. I was both shocked and saddened to read about Tyrone's sudden passing. I had the pleasure of working with him and remember what joy and pride he had when we talked about family and kids.
He was an excellent co-worker, always cheerful and willing to help others.

Tyrone "Bone" Bell, great person, a gift from God for his loved ones to embrace, love and share with all his many friends and former teammates. He was my friend before he became a brother and I thank you Ty for all the battles in practice as E-RAB freshmen, but more importantly for being a good friend. Heaven has a true winner and great ambassador! My sympathies for the Bell and Patrick families.

While I didn't get much of a chance to interact with Tyrone personally, I did get to pour into his son Dante in our Children's Ministry at Heartland Church. I was able to watch from the rows, how Tyrone interacted with his children and it was very clear that Tyrone was a Man of God. He was a living example of what he wanted his kids to be as he served, and greeted, and passed baskets at Church alongside his daughter on our first impressions team. He encouraged his kids to be active in their respective ministries. In this life, we are all learning to find and follow Jesus - all at different ages, all at different stages. Thank you Tyrone for being a great example for others.
WELL DONE!

To Mrs. Rebecca Bell & Family. Sorry for the loss of your loved one. I remember Tyrone from church, and he was such an amazing young man. God has called home another soldier, and he received his wings. Fly away young man you earned them wings. Keep the faith, and the Lord will help you through this time, and know he is in a better place

Working with Tyrone was a real blessing for me. He was such a great guy to have on the job. His love for his kids was obvious as we would often get to hear about them. May God welcome you into His arms my friend and peace to his family.

I am so sorry to here. With the very short time that I knew Tyrone; I could see his compassion for his children and dedication.
I do regret that I did not know him sooner.

My condolences to Tyrone's entire family. I graduated from Rockford East HS with Tyrone '89. He was a cool guy and very respectful. He loved b-ball..(so did I). I had not seen him since HS, but when I heard what happened, it saddened me. A good guy gone too soon!
RIP...E-Rabs♡
