To the Kelly Family,
I thought Joe would appreciate this so I hope y’all can as well. I have memorialized a section of Border Wall in Joe’s name which will stand tall as a permanent fixture in both structure and history. It is being erected today 10/23/20 in honor of my friend. It is a bright and beautiful sunny day here in South Texas. It  is also located in a beautiful area directly next to the Rio Grande. I wish I could be there in person to share this with you but please know that you are all in my thoughts. My deepest and heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and the entire Family. 

Joe will most certainly be missed but his memory and the memories of good times will live forever in our hearts. 

Love from South Texas,

Tim

Your energy, passion for life, humor, therapeutic hugs, unmatched selfie skills, and witnessing your love for Dawn and the Kelly Krew are just a few of the ways you will be missed!!! Cheers to you my friend, I will treasure our shared adventures always!!! XOXOXO

Our deepest sympathy to all the family.  We are thinking of you from West Virginia. Prayers and Blessings.  We are Ena's mother and father in law.

So many great memories!! You were the life of the party, the selfie king, the one who lived Big and dreamed Big  but most important; you are my best friends heart and awesome father to 4 of the most amazing kids. We will never be able to take your place Joe but we promise that we will do everything we can for your Kelly Krew always!! We Love You & we will always miss you!! Xxoo

Joe to the rescue! Helping put the final touches on the infamous Junior Homecoming Float. Your memory will live on in the lives you touched. 

I never imagined there would be a time in this life that I couldn’t call you just to talk. I never thought that our most recent adventure in ridiculousness could have been the last. I would have paid a lot more attention to every little detail if I knew. I never would have been “too busy”, or “too tired” to come over and hang out when you asked me. I always made fun of you for being the “selfie king”. What I wouldn’t give just one more pic of us together.  I am truly blessed to have had you as my friend these last 20+ years, and I’m grateful for every conversation and moment you spent with me. You were so giving of yourself and your time, and everyone in your life was richer for having known you. I have never known a better husband, father and friend. I will carry you in my heart my friend, and when I need to talk, I know you’ll still be listening. 

Beach days, boating, camping, skiing....whatever we did with you was always fun. Talking for hours to Keith about wood, fires, tools and everything under the sun. Best husband and dad,son,Son in law, brother, brother in law, uncle, cousin and friend....you were the bomb. We’ll miss you Joe, but rest easy knowing Dawn and the kiddies will always be looked after.❤️

To know you was to love you
Your infectious laugh and smile will always be in our hearts. Love & miss you my friend ❤

Joe you were a bright light, a free spirit, a lover of fun, caring, compassionate and so full of love for Dawn and your kids.  Always a smile on your face - your willingness to always help others just rounded out what a great person you were.  You will be so missed.  We cherish the memories - the special, unplanned amazing dinner we had in Nashville, the camping craziness and many fun beach days! Your light and your spirit will live on in your amazing children and your love will give Dawn the strength she will need to go on.  Rest easy our friend - we got your family.  ❤️❤️❤️

Every time I think of you I envision that big smile & those blue eyes! You brought joy and laughter every where you went. Your love and devotion to your family spoke volumes of the person you were. Your kindness was endless. Even though we moved away, Paul and I still enjoyed our old memories together and seeing your new memories on Facebook. We love you Kelly family.

One of a kind sort of guy who loved life.  Everything he did  was done with passion and it was contagious.  Thank you for the memories Joe Kelly you will never be forgotten!! The Franklin’s

It seems impossible that you are no longer in this world with us Joe! I will always remember your gentle soul and your kind smile.  I'll never forget that night at the Conboys when the kids kicked the ball into the canal and you stripped down to your underwear and jumped right in for it. You made us all laugh so many times Joe, Thanks for the all good times. I know you will be shining your light down on Dawn and the kids from heaven and every time I look up at the night sky I will see you in the brightest star.  ❤ you always.

Im still in such disbelief that we will not hang out anymore..we had a great sunday of laughs and good times...you will be missed deeply.....

It was a very fun Sunday to end losing you feels to unreal    I wish I could then back time my friend 

Dawn and Family,
      I can’t even imagine what you all must be going through. I cry every time I try.  I hope the outpouring of love and the beautiful memories you all share helps you to get through this heartbreaking time.   You are all in my heart and prayers.

Joe lived life to the fullest, but always made time for his family & their friends. 

I remember celebrating Joes birthday when we went to Carmines in the city. What a great time. So many great memories and my heart breaks for all of you. 

How do I reduce a life to a message? Joe was bigger than life. He lived Full Throttle. He and I were able to disagree politically and vigorously debate each other with fervor.  Why? Because Joe was smart. He had insight. He had passion. He loved American and his family. Despite our differences Joe always said we shared the same values. He was my brother. We always texted each other to remind ourselves that we loved and respected the other. Joe was Full Throttle at all times his warmth and caring demeanor made him shine. Joe was one of a kind and he touched so many lives. He lives on in our stories and memories  God rest is soul. 

Dear Dawn and family, 
My thoughts are with you all. Praying for God to comfort you all, the best he can during this time.  You could always see the love you shared together!!  Your family is beautiful and I will continue to pray for you all!!
All my love,
Diana Doerbecker
