Mr. James "Jamie" Darren Kelly

Jamie was born in Waynesboro, Mississippi and moved to Chickasaw when he was young. He graduated from Vigor High School, where he fell in love with baseball and carried this passion with him into early adulthood, eventually meeting his wife Rhonda at the ballpark. As an adult, he loved to play golf and disc golf with friends and family. He fostered a lifelong career as an Electrical and Instrumentation Supervisor at High-Purity Silicon America Corporation.

As a longtime Nickelback fan, beer-lover, and grill master, Jamie was so much fun to be around and always had a joke ready. Above all else, he was a devoted husband, father, brother, and friend. He will be remembered for the love he spread.

Jamie is survived by his loving wife, Rhonda Kelly; his three daughters, Madison, Olivia, and Mallorie; his sisters, Robbie (Mark) Edmond and Angie Hooker; his brothers, Joe and David (Pam) Kelly; his aunt, Barbara and uncle, John Lassiter; his nieces and nephews; his sisters in law Ashley (John) Rampulla and Holland (Sam) Solano; his grandchildren Chance and Kevin.

Please join us to celebrate his life on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at Ascension Funeral Home. Visitation begins at 11:00 A.M. Chapel service at 1:00 P.M. Burial to follow at Forest Lawn Cemetery.
