DONATE TO THE FAMILY OF DANIEL BELL

When a soul like Daniel Bell leaves its earthly body, conveying how much he meant to those left behind is an impossible task. And yet the ‘business’ of death marches on, agnostic of the depths of grief or the time loved ones need to mourn and heal.

Following an extended illness which his body could not overcome, Danny passed away peacefully, surrounded by family and friends on November 14, 2022. In light of the significant end-of-life expenses incurred as a result of this unfathomable tragedy, friends of Danny have organized this Go Fund Me to assist with the financial obligations of his final arrangements.

Should you feel compelled to give, please know your gift will be most appreciated and a reflection of the love Danny showed all of us for all of the days we knew him.

As for what Danny meant to so many, here are, in their own words, the sentiments of three communities—families, really—of which Danny was a part:

THE GRAND OLE OPRY SQUARE DANCERS:

Our hearts are broken. For over 20 years, we were blessed to be in the company of a brother who loved us unconditionally, who encouraged us in all things, and who loved his children Joshua and Anna Faith with all his heart. We can only hope we will be forever changed for the better because we walked a season with him, and we count ourselves among the luckiest people on the planet because we knew Daniel Bell. The dancing community has lost one of its most beloved members, and we cannot imagine the curtain going up without him. Indeed it will, but it will never be the same.

He's dancing with the Angels.

CHRIST CHURCH NASHVILLE:

It is with heavy hearts we mourn the earthly loss of our dear friend, Pastor Daniel Bell.

Daniel will always be a much beloved part of the Christ Church family. Having served many years on staff as a pastor, Daniel loved and served people well with true intentionality, honest vulnerability, and abundant grace.

Please join us in lifting up the Bell family in prayer during this time, and let us give thanks to the One who blessed us with Daniel in this life. It is with sure and certain hope we look forward to seeing our brother again in the life that is to come. Amen.

NARROW GATE FOUNDATION:

Our hearts are broken. He loved us all so very well and impacted each one of our lives in eternal and meaningful ways. He inspired us to love more and serve others with joy and humlity. He taught us the scriptures and the ways to apply them to our lives. He showed us the meaning of Christian love and friendship and always made us all feel very special in his presence. We mourn and grieve today but look forward to being reunited one day together in Heaven.
