Christopher Ryan Kelly

Christopher was born on September 8, 1980 in Miami, FL to Dennis and Carol Kelly. He was a member of Spanish River Church in Boca Raton.

Christopher is survived by his parents Dennis and Carol Kelly of Boca Raton, FL and his brother Sean Kelly of Miami, FL.

Upon graduation from Spanish River High School, Christopher attended Lynn University and FAU Honors College (Jupiter, FL).

Christopher struggled with Cerebral Palsy from birth. He had limited physical mobility his entire life and had been bed-ridden for the past ten years.

Despite his disability, Christopher was an excellent writer and speaker. He had a talent for inspiring all who crossed his path in life, and touched the lives of many. Christopher had numerous faithful friends who continued to visit and interact with Chris even after he became bed-bound. For all of you, his parents are greatly appreciative.

As a child, Christopher was the beneficiary of many Miami non-profit/volunteer organizations including Kiwanis Horses and Handicapped, Shake-a-Leg Foundation (sailing), the Orange Bowl Committee, Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, Miami Shriners organization and Shriners Hospital (Tampa).

Christopher was a beloved son and will be greatly missed.

A reception will be held Sunday, February 10, 2019 from 6pm to 8pm at Babione Funeral Home, 10060 Calle Commercio Drive, Boca Raton, FL. A short remembrance service will be held at 7:00.
