Henry Douglas "Doug" Bell, age 63, of Shakopee, Minnesota, passed away on November 5, 2025. Doug was 63 years old.
He was born on December 21, 1961, the son of Henry Wesley Bell and Doris (Angel) Bell in Nevada, Missouri.
The family would relocate to Pratt, Kansas, in 1972. It was there that Doug fell in love with the outdoors. Beginning at the age of 12, he was a hunting guide for many hunters from around the country who flocked to Kansas to pheasant hunt.
Doug was a life-long "gear head" beginning with his first car, a 1970 Cuda that he and his father restored when Doug was just 16. His love of muscle cars continued throughout his life with the restoration of Chargers, Challengers, GTOs, Mustangs, more Cudas, and Cameros.
His latest and ongoing project was a 1970 Camaro that he had been restoring with his son, Corey. Doug worked in the automotive industry throughout his life in Kansas and Minnesota.
He is preceded in death by his parents, his fiancée, Tess Kittleson, and his son, Corey Bell.
Doug is survived by his daughter, Jessica Bell of Winfield, Kansas; his grandchildren, Diamond, Joseph and Mister. His sister, Kelly Dicello of Santa Fe, New Mexico; nephew, Asher Dicello of Seoul, South Korea; and brother, Rex Bell of Commerce City, Colorado.
A formal service is not planned at this time.
