Tony was born on Sept. 19, 1976, in Onawa, Iowa, to Stephen and Sheila (Taylor) Bell. He grew up in Ute, Iowa and graduated from Charter Oak- Ute High School. He continued his education at Western Iowa Tech Community College.

Tony married Jamie L. Kenney on July 22, 2000 in Sioux City. The couple have two children, Parker and Alexis. Tony worked for Suter Services before starting his own HVAC business, Element Inc., which he later sold and went to work for WITCC teaching heating and air conditioning classes at his alma-mater. Tony missed the hands on work involved with HVAC so he left WITCC and went to work for Prescott and Schramm heating and cooling for a short period of time before starting another HVAC business called Above Par, which he was currently operating. In 2018, Siouxland voted Above Par as one of the top three HVAC businesses in Siouxland’s (Reader’s Choice) Awards.

Tony enjoyed working on cars, remodeling projects, and just tinkering. He enjoyed being Mr. Fix-it for his family and friends. He was an avid Minnesota Vikings and NASCAR fan, traveling to many games and races across the country. He especially liked to explore the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with his wife each year. Tony enjoyed family time and attending the events Parker and Alexis were involved in.
