Buddy Bell’s “Little Brother” Wil Dies

It seems tough for the entire family. Buddy said that Courtney Marsh Bell told him it feels like “the party is over, and nothing has ever been more true.” He then went on to say that he doesn’t see anything ever being fun in his life again.

Wil is not Buddy’s real brother, but he considers him as much. He said he met Wil when he joined his band Farewell when he was only 15. He said that he was in his 20s, so it was like Wil was their “little brother,” and that is how he considered him until this tragic death. He said that they were always overprotective of Wil, which makes this death even harder to accept.

“I’ll miss being able to text him about whatever new obscure annoying thing I’d observed,” Buddy wrote. “He usually knew exactly what I was talking about and had a story of his own.”
