Earle Alexander Bell, 61, of Weirton, passed away on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown following a brief illness.

Born on May 9, 1963, in Wheeling, Earle was the only son of James and Carmelena Castiglia Bell.

A lifelong resident of Weirton, Earle was a 1981 graduate of Weir High School and went on to attend Glenville State University.

Earle found joy in many of life’s simple pleasures. He was a chef and most recently employed at Williams Country Club, prior to that he worked at Holiday Lanes.

Earle enjoyed a good game of chess and had a love for the outdoors, especially fishing in the Caribbean.

His loyal dog Boomer was never far from his side, a constant companion and source of comfort.

Earle cherished the bonds he formed throughout his life, and among those was his special friend, Jim Ball, whose friendship meant the world to him.

In addition to his parents, Earle was preceded in death by his sister Victoria Bell.

Left to cherish his memory are his cousins, Mary (Jeffrey) Jones, Ruth Ann (Scott) Douglass, all of Weirton, and Daniel Dean of New Cumberland.

Earle’s request for cremation will be honored.

He will be cremated at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home Crematory, 3219 Main Street, Weirton, WV.

  1. I remember Earle from Holiday Lanes. We knew him as Boomer. He was a bit of a character but was always good natured. Sympathies to his family.

  2. My man Boomer.
    My best friend growing up on Marland Heights.
    So many laughs.
    So many good times and great stories.
    One of the greatest and most unique people I have ever had the pleasure of calling my friend.
    Rest in peace.
    Memories Eternal.

  3. Candle Selection 4Once again, I am very sorry I put a Kroger’s Buggy in the Parking Lot of Holiday Lanes and was banned from there for 2 weeks when you still worked there!

  4. Candle Selection 2I’ve known Alex all my life. We grew up two streets over from each other on Marland Heights. Always smiling, good for a laugh and a great friend. We had a great time at Cub Scouts. He was so kind hearted. He manned the carving station for Kelly and my wedding reception at William’s Country Club. He was always nice to my kids when we bowled at Holiday Lanes. God speed, Alex.
