Justin "Pookie" Bell

As you all may or may not know, my brother Justin, better known as Pookie or Pookie-Bear, passed away on 2/10.

Pookie was one of the kindest souls you'd ever meet. At 6 ft 7 inches tall and 400 pounds, he may have looked intimidating, but he was a kind, sweet, and gentle giant. He left a positive impact on everyone he came across, and he always made sure to reach out to anyone he felt was struggling.

After his passing, there has been an immense outpouring of stories and heart-touching moments about Pookie, and how he touched so many different lives.

Life insurance isn't something Pookie had, but because he brought joy and touched the lives of so many, we feel as a family that it would only be right that everyone should have the opportunity to see him one last time and bid him farewell.

We would appreciate any donations to use for these final expenses. Any additional donations will be used to help relocate "G" (grandma), as Pookie lived with and helped to support her.

Thank you to everyone for your support and generosity in this unfortunate time.
