David Larry Bell, 72 was born on July 13, 1950, in Goodland, Oklahoma, the son of Arlie Bell and Oleta Walker Bell. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother, Bud Bell, sister-in-law, Judy Bell  and brother-in-law, Paul Webb.

David was a lifelong resident of Choctaw county and was a pipefitter by trade. He married Vicki (Baze) Bell on November 13, 1995, in Hugo, Oklahoma. David enjoyed beekeeping and raising poultry, singing and playing his guitar. David loved his family and especially loved his grandbabies. He was always there for his kids' sports activities and could be heard above the crowd, cheering them on. Any time he passed a mirror, he would stop and remark "That's a good-looking man right there." David will be missed by all who knew and loved him, and his passing has left a huge void in the lives of his family.

David is survived by his wife, Vicki; son, Matthew Bell and wife, Niesa of Hugo, OK; daughters,  Leta Abbott and husband Dirk of Hugo and Kristen Houchen and husband Collin of Hugo, OK; grandchildren, Hudson Houchen, Harper Houchen, Edward Bell, Macy Allen, Vanessa Allen, Ben Willliams and Alyssa Williams; brother, James Bell of Hugo, OK; sister, Wyona Webb of Sapulpa, OK and  sister in law, Wanda Yount of Hugo, OK along with a host of other family, friends and loved ones.
