Arthur B. Bell, age 45, of Meriden, passed away on September 27, 2022. He was born in New Haven on December 27, 1976, a son of Arthur Bell Jr. and Mary Ibbotson. Besides his father Arthur, he is survived by his son Jonah Bell, and was predeceased by his twin brother Louis D. Bell.
Arthur graduated from Platt High School in 1995, where he was a drummer in the school’s marching band. After high school Arthur worked in Meriden at the Bell family business, DI-EL Tool & Mfg., Inc., where he was Vice President. When Arthur wasn’t causing trouble, he spent his free time with his young son Jonah and was also an avid gamer. His favorite thing to do was to build relationships with all the friends he made over the internet. On the weekends Arthur loved to go out with friends to visit breweries and support local businesses. He was always surrounded and supported by his large family, and many caring friends.

  1. Arthur Byron….like so many we know, you left this earth way too early. You always had a soft spot in my heart the day that you were born, along with your brother Louis, with your quirkiness and sense of humor. Now your dad will have two guardian angels watching over him. Jonah will always know the love that you gave to him. Hugs and prayers….Auntie Debbie

  10. Things will always be a little duller without Arthur spicing things up. I’m going to miss his “pop-ins” and the weird meandering conversations that would ensue when he popped in.

    If anyone was #NationOrNothing, it was Arthur Bell. We’ll miss you, buddy.

  11. Arthur was one of the first people to always reach out whenever I was going through a difficult time in my life. He loved his family and was always an incredible friend to have in your life. Through all the laughs and jokes we shared over the years to the moments of advice in my darkest hour I’ve been honored to call Arthur a friend. Until we meet again, brother.

  13. Arthur, while we only knew each other online our conversations and commiserations around raising and supporting our children and your devotion to being the best dad possible always showed through. Your sense of humor both confused and befuddled many but it was something I looked forward to seeing. Hoping you are at peace brother. #NationOrNothing.

  16. As we say goodbye to a bother, a husband , a father, a friend

    Don’t think of him as gone away
    his journey’s just begun,
    life holds so many facets
    this earth is only one.

    Just think of him as resting
    from the sorrows and the tears
    in a place of warmth and comfort
    where there are no days and years.

    Think how he must be wishing
    that we could know today
    how nothing but our sadness
    can really pass away.

    And think of him as living
    in the hearts of those he touched…
    for nothing loved is ever lost
    and he was loved so much.

  49. Probably about the quirkiest individual I have ever met but the gentlest of souls. Never judgmental accepting of all. Few things rock me to the literal core more than this. When I found out I almost choked as it had only been 10 days since he and I were together. My condolences to all the family and friends whose lives are a little more empty. Rest well my friend. Love this guy like the brother I never had.

  61. Arthur you had such a sense of humor and truly cared for those close to you. You loved Jonah and always wanted the best. I will never forget when you came out here and setup yard cards with me. You were so excited at least until we got to the first house and was so worried we would “get caught” I always hoped I could take you flocking but guess you’ll just have to chase those pesky birds another time. Love you cuz.
