Bell’s family is inviting family and friends to celebrate their son and brother’s life. He would have been 23 on Thursday.

Katie Bell said she still misses her brother, who she said used to make them laugh &8220;even when we were down.&8221; She said the planning of a memorial service is nearly complete.
