John R. Kelly passed away Saturday February 13, 2016. Born on August 7, 1966 to Darlene Gilbert and Steven E. Kelly (deceased). He graduated from Skyline High School in 1985. Married Jamie Van Allen, later divorced. John is survived by his mother, Darlene (Richard) Hirschi, sons Benjamin and Joshua, brother Tony (Tara) Kelly, nephews Steven and Seth. John leaves behind many aunts, uncles and cousins. He will be deeply missed by many close friends.
John was a big hearted man who loved spending time with family and friends, and loved to make people laugh with his endless sense of humor. He was an avid van of random trivia, Sci-Fi, pop culture, music and animals, with an aversion to wearing long pants.
We would like to say thank you to all our family and friends for your support and kind words.
