Dean R. Bell

Dean R. Bell, age 45, of McAdam, NB, passed away suddenly on October 14, 2025, as the result of a motor vehicle accident.

Born in McAdam in 1980, the son of Theresa Bell and the late Dean Bell.

Dean attended McAdam High School and was known for his natural ability to build, fix and create. A self-taught carpenter and mechanic, he could repair just about anything with a motor and took great pride in “ripping and tearing” to see how things worked. He loved to tinker, build and figure things out, never afraid to take on a new project or challenge.

Affectionately known by friends and family as “Deano” and “LeBeau”. Deano was full of humor and good-natured mischief, always ready with a joke or a tease to make others laugh. His laughter would fill a room and his presence brought warmth wherever he went.

Though he faced many of life’s challenges, he will be remembered for his big heart, quick wit and his constant willingness to lend a hand. Dean had a deep love for his family, his friends and the simple joys of everyday life.

Dean is survived by his mother, Teresa Bell, his children; Owen Bell and Cassidy Bell, along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He was predeceased by his father; Dean Bell and his brother; Joshua Bell.

Funeral service will be held on Monday October 20, 2025, at 2 pm from the St. Paul’s United Church in McAdam, NB. The family will receive friends from 1 pm until service time.

“He will be remembered for his kind heart, his hands that could fix anything and his spirit that never gave up.”
