Kelly Presley

Kelly Presley, a devoted family man, U.S. Army veteran, and beloved member of the Pensacola community, passed away tragically on June 21, 2025, in a car accident in Perry, Florida. He was 54 years old.

Born on February 14, 1971, in Ada, Oklahoma, Kelly was the cherished son of Jackie “Jack” Presley and Arnetta Dunlap. He was raised in Oklahoma and graduated from Byng Public Schools in 1989.

Kelly embodied the American spirit — hard-working, proud of his roots, and endlessly devoted to those he loved. A blue-collar man through and through, he was a dedicated business owner who never shied away from putting in the work. He also served his country honorably as a member of the U.S. Army, and remained an active supporter of veteran organizations throughout his life.

Music was a lifelong passion for Kelly, and he was known to many as an avid and talented musician. He found peace and joy near the water, whether on a boat or simply enjoying the view. But above all, his greatest love was his family and his wide circle of friends — whom he considered family as well.

Kelly is survived by his fiancée Rose Cantu, his parents, Jackie “Jack” Presley and Arnetta “AJ” Dunlap; his sister, Traci Haddock; his brothers, Michael Presley and Phillip Presley; his sons, Joshua Presley and Markus Feldmeier; his daughter, Brittany Presley; and his beloved grandchildren, Leightyn Hood, Hadlee Hood, Brynn Presley, Lanet’ Mercier, and Waylon Presley. He also leaves behind a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and his extended military and veteran families — all of whom will miss his loyalty, laughter, and love.

Kelly Presley leaves behind a legacy of strength, service, and heart. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.
