Graveside services for Kelly will be 2:00 PM Monday, October 28th, 2024 at Love Cemetery in St. Joe, Arkansas. Friends and family will serve as bearers.
Kelly was one of a kind! He was the youngest of a great bunch of brothers. I can remember going to the Manes house with Jackie when Kelly was around 13 or 14. He loved to Aggravate Jackie, Tommy, Kevin and Bones. Then when they had enough and was going after him, he would run to Alice and tell on them. Spent a lot of time at that house. Those big ole' brown eyes and bright smile will be greatly missed. You are all in my prayers and I love you everyone.
Kelly was sensitive to your mood and enjoyed making you laugh. He shared stories every time you saw him even though you both knew he told the same story a dozen times. He adored his children and visiting family . A gentle man that would put others first. Condolences to his family that will mourn his loss for a long, long time.
Loved Kelly’s laugh, prayers up for you all.
