Otis Perry “Pete” Bell departed this life after a brief illness. He was born November 23, 1947 to the late John T. Bell and Wyona Whitehurst.
He attended McKinley High School and was a proud Bulldog. After a brief stint in the Vietnam War, he returned stateside and after extensive travels decided to settle in Hawaii for several years.
Returning to Canton gave him a chance to spend time and get close to the family and friends that he loved to make laugh with his silly jokes and crazy humor.
In addition to his parents, Pete was preceded in death by his brothers, John T. Bell Jr. and Gary Snell.
He leaves to cherish his memory: son, Perry Gibson of Canton OH; sisters, Robin Whitehurst of Columbus OH, and Renee Biggums of Canton OH; brother, Shawn Whitehurst of Arkansas; nieces, Euzhan & Alek Shabazz, Candice & Samara Biggums and Scarlett Whitehurst; nephews, Raymond (Crystal) Brinson, Shawn C. Atkins, Shawn Duncan, Jordan, Jaden and Jacob Whitehurst; special friends Jovan Black and Patricia Massey, as well as numerous cousins, other relatives and friends.
