Kelley was a good man. Honest, kind, and hard working. He was always willing to lend a helping hand in any way he could. He had a smile that was contagious, and whenever you saw him you always left feeling a little better about the world. He treated people the way God asks us to do. We were very fortunate to be his friends.
Kelley will be greatly missed,
