Warren Bell, 10, from Astonbury Green, Easterside, Middlesbrough, died suddenly from an asthma
attack. He leaves behind devastated parents Shaun, Elaine, and sisters Megan, and Gabrielle.
Known as “Wazza” to his friends, his parents described him as a “typical little boy”, who
loved mischief.
Warren had suffered with asthma for years but it had never stopped him from enjoying life.
He loved animals and took great care of his tropical fish, his African snail called Speedy and his
corn snake Serena, which he was going to rename Kelloggs.
Warren had even made a pact with family friend Lauren Connors, 12, that they would one day both
become vets.
A pupil at St Thomas More School, Easterside, Warren excelled in maths and problem-solving and
enjoyed learning about war. He also liked Al Pacino and Scarface and once appeared on a homemade
video on You Tube, pretending to be a gangster.
He loved his Playstation 3 and going to the skate park on his scooter with best friend Paul
Robinson, 10, to practise his bunny hops.
And, like a typical big brother, he would tease his younger sister but always defend her too.
Described as his mum’s shadow, Elaine fondly recalls how Warren brought her a cup of tea as she
lay poorly in bed with flu and would follow her to the shops on his treasured scooter.
“He had a good heart and was so loving when you needed him,” said Elaine, a caretaker at
SureStart.
“He was really close to his cousins Aaron, 13, and Kieran Bell, 18, and Jack Liddle, 11.”
He also particularly loved cousin Jason Bell, 36, who had been poorly after having a stroke and
losing the strength in one of his arms.
Elaine said: “Warren loved to go and see him and help by carrying his bags.
“Warren used to look forward to the holidays so they could get the bus to Stokesley together and
look around the fair.
“If you asked Warren to do something he’d say ‘I’ll do it for £1.’
“His bedroom was always immaculate and he wouldn’t leave the house without his hair being gelled
and his Paco Rabanne aftershave on.
“He was a loveable rip - everybody knew and loved him. He has left a hole in our lives.
“But, as Shaun says, Warren wasn’t given to us, he was borrowed, and put on this earth to break
hearts.”
The couple expressed their thanks to friends and family who have offered their support and to all
the medical staff involved in Warren’s care.
Footballing friends of Warren, who died on April 12, remember him as “The Tank” due to his
stocky build and say that he was a formidable force on the football field.
A defender for Beechwood U10s, he had been playing for the club since he was eight.
U10s manager Kevin Horsfield said: “I’ll miss his cheek and his grin. He would give you this
smile when he was in trouble. The players and parents loved him.
“Warren was a player who never stopped trying - a powerful player who never gave up.
“He had asthma but he would run to the sidelines for his inhaler and play on, he was that
determined.
“He was a frightening sight for kids running towards him, but he was never afraid to tackle and
could kick a ball for miles - everyone would chant ‘Wazza’ when he took a shot.
“Knowing we will never hear his name again is the hardest part, but we will play on and try to win
just for him.
“He will be missed by everyone.”

A Candle Full Of Kisses
****************************
A candle full of kisses especially for you
For every flicker of its light
Is a kiss from me to you
****************************
This candle burns so brightly
Inside is my love too
This candle burns throughout the night
And i lit it just for you
****************************
Every night i light one
Just to let you know
Youll live forever in my heart
And ill never let you go
We really wish with all our hearts
That you were here with us
Stop the tears from falling
And the pain thats deep in us
************************
Every time we think of you
Our hearts just skip a beat
But knowing youre not here with us
We are knocked back off our feet
************************
We know we will always feel this way
Just want to let you know
You will live forever in our hearts
And we will never let you go
************************
words can never describe the way i feel the pain in my heart will never leave me, i love you so much son i just want you back at home,i need you i miss you, oh warren i miss everything about you why did this have to happen my beautiful son, mam xxxxxxxx
We open up our hearts to God
In our own special way
We dont ask for tomorrows
We want all our yesterdays
Our yesterdays were happy
For they included you
So much love and laughter
We all shared with you
Tomorrow is just another word
It means nothing to us
Please give us back our yesterdays
And our Angel back with us
Sometimes people leave this earth,leaving us all behind to live there second life were everything is fine we dont have a clue how far there journey is,or why it came so soon all we no is that it hurts and we've learned a different tune one full of sadness and plenty of despair.tears represent our pain and how much we cared and some of us come out stronger in the end after losing a loved one or even just a friend,what we fail to reconise is simply that its not to late,this is not the end for them it was just heaven couldnt wait,it needs to fill its positions,needs new angels all the time,for every family needs an angel standing by their side,one who will love them forever,one who will take away their pain,an angel is their guardian,when they feel things will never be the same a person that wears wings that will comfort us till the end and be their to meet us when we've reached lifes journey and take us to heaven.
To us you were so special, words can never say; How much we love and miss you, on your birthday; There will always be a heartache and often a silent tear;
But always beautiful memories of the days when you were here.
You were a nephew in a million, Why did you have to go
You meant the world to us, We really loved you so If we had one choice today, Our choice would not be hard
We would wish that we could have you here, To give you your birthday cards xxxxxxxx
