November 23, 1980 – June 24, 2017
We are devastated and heart-broken to announce the sudden death of our beloved Lachlan Bell at 36 years. Lachlan was born and raised in Chinchilla, Queensland, Australia where he fell in love with horses. He began his riding career early with Pony Club and, growing up, embraced any opportunity to further his horsemanship skills. He began training horses at age 16 and set himself on a path for a lifetime working with horses. Moving to Canada in 2004, Lachlan continued his career working for top reining and cutting horse trainers before branching out with Lachlan Bell Performance Horses. He was very well known in the Reining community in Alberta.
Lachlan loved his family very much and he will be dearly missed by Kelly and his children Blade, Gemma, Anwyn and Dacie all of Cochrane, AB; his parents Graeme and Carolyn Bell of Chinchilla, Australia; his sister Rachael (and Chris) Reeves of Calgary, AB; his brother Marcus Bell (and Kelly Thomas) of Melbourne, Australia; his grandparents Ray and Daisy Bell of Chinchilla, Queensland, Australia; his girlfriend Brittney Rogers; his special dog “Chook”; and many dear friends, colleagues, and extended family. He is predeceased, and now in the arms of his maternal grandparents Nanna and Poppy Robertson.
In lieu of flowers, donations to a Trust for his children are gratefully appreciated. Donations may be made at any ATB Branch by advising to deposit to ‘Kelly In Trust Bell’.
A Celebration of Lachlan’s Life will be held at the Cochrane RancheHouse (101 Ranche House Road, Cochrane, AB) on Monday, July 10, 2017 at 1:00 pm. The family encourages you to wear your best hat, boots and jeans.
