Ten grandchildren; Megan, Garret (Haley), Emma, Vivienne, Taylor (Aidan), Kael, Allyson, Noah, Samuel, and Zoey. Two great-grandchildren; Noah and Lucas, with two more on the way in August 2024 and January 2025. Alongside his children, grandkids, and great-grandkids, Kelly is survived by his two older brothers, Aldred (Erna) and Boyce (Elisa). As well as two younger brothers, Cecil (Ester) and Loring (Angeline).
While Kelly was born in Duck Lake, SK, he has moved many times in his life. His most significant place of residence was at Blackstrap Lake, in the town of Thode, where Cheryl and their boy helped him build their home. The home in Thode was where his family would try to gather every summer and holiday.
His three kids have very fond memories when thinking of their dad. Specifically, Kim remembers Kelly's vast library and shares the same love of reading. Chris remembers taking road trips with his brothers and dad every summer growing up. Lastly, Darren's fondest memory with his dad is working alongside him during the construction of the house in Thode. Kelly's grandkids also have very fond memories of Grandpa teaching them how to fish, taking them on boat rides, and trying to convince the adults to let them play Tile Rummy with Grandpa.
Kelly's Family is holding a Private Celebration of Life. Personal invitations will be sent out.
