Bio
Jack Bell, Nov. 13, 1934 - April 5, 2019. Jack A. Bell, of Fruita, Colorado passed from this life on April 5, 2019, surrounded by his loving family. Mr. Bell was born in 1934 in Moody, Texas. He graduated from Moody High School, excelling in all sports. He joined the Army right out of high school and spent his time in Korea. Upon returning, he married Jeanette Lewis, of Moody. Mr. Bell graduated from The University of Texas, where he developed a long and lasting devotion to his "Texas Horns." He also held advanced degrees from Baylor University. After coaching several sports at various schools and being part of many winning seasons, he turned to administration. He became a junior high school principal, a high school principal and superintendent of Texas schools. He will be remembered by the many young lives he touched in his 35 years of service to the Texas Public school system.

Carol Bell Lybrook (Scott) of Fruita, Colorado, Rita Bell of Portland, Oregon; grandsons, Jake, Justin and Josh Lybrook; granddaughter, Dr. Rachel Giese; brother, Jerry Bell of Wimberley, Texas. His quick wit, his love of life and family, his almost encyclopedic memory and knowledge of sports, especially college football will be missed.
