Marquis Raheem Bell

Brother Marquis Raheem Bell was born to Herbert E. Bell Jr. and

Shirley Bell in Miller County, Georgia, on October 1, 1994.

Marquis accepted CHRIST and joined Donalsonville Holiness Deliverance Church earlier in his life, but on Sunday, August 7, 2016 he joined First Missionary Baptist Church in Columbia, Alabama, where he was already serving faithfully under the leadership of Pastor Eddie Farmer Sr. until his sudden demise on August 7, 2016.

Marquis received his education in the Seminole County School System.  He touched many lives throughout his time here on earth; his caring heart and warm smile will forever live in our hearts.  Marquis will be greatly missed by family, friends, classmates and other members of the community.

Marquis was best known for his caring heart and gentle spirit.  But on Sunday evening after church, GOD called his name, and he had to answer.  He was preceded in death by the Love of His Life, Ms. Bianca A. Bailey, only moments before his very own demise; his paternal grandparents, Herbert E. Bell Sr. and Claude O. Bell; maternal grandparents, Ike and Thelma Barber; aunts:  Evelyn Murrell, Alisa Bell, Myra Smith, and Rosie Hopkins; and uncle, Joe Bell.
