Our hearts are broken at the loss of our brother. Kelley was a warm, loving and generous man always willing to help and support his family and friends. He left us way too soon and he will not be forgotten. Rest In Peace.
My sincere condolences to Beth. Kelly was a fine young man always was. I remember going to car races with him, sitting in the stands, and watching the sly fox running laps. I would have to guess that Kelly is sitting in heaven watching car races.
Rest in peace.
Dad, its been 6 years since you left us. Not a day goes by that I am not thinking of you and carrying on conversations with you. Typically bouncing back and forth between laughing and crying. All four of you are up there now. I miss you all. You, Beth, Kasey and Bandit. Hunter is going to be on his way up there pretty soon as well. Keep an eye out for him please!
