Jason Scott Bell

Jason Scott Bell, 50, of Poplar Bluff, MO, passed away Friday, April 04, 2025, at his home.

Jason was born on February 16, 1975, to Jerry Bell and Billie Cope in Chaffee, Missouri.

Jason spent his early years of life in Poplar Bluff and Advance before joining the United States Marine Corps. During his time in the service, he was stationed in Hawaii and spent time in Okinawa, Japan. He loved riding his Jeep and spending time outdoors. Jason loved listening to music and was an avid concert attendee. He was a Hank Williams Junior fan and known as a certified Bocephus extraordinaire by his friends and family. Jason was an incredibly kind, loving, and giving person. He would go out of his way to help anyone in need, especially his loved ones. He was a true family man and was so proud of his sons. His greatest joy in life was his granddaughters. To say he will be missed by all those who knew him would be an understatement.
