Obituary For Kelly Sumner Anderson II

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Kelly Sumner Anderson II, who departed this life on May 21, 2025. Born on May 7, 1979, in Youngstown, Ohio, Kelly brought light and laughter to all who knew him. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend.

A graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School in 1998, Kelly dedicated much of his life to his work as a roofer, employed by Noam, where he was known for his hard work and dedication. He was not just a skilled laborer but a vibrant part of the Youngstown community.

He had an unmistakable appreciation for the Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Kelly's zest for life and passion for sports inspired his family and friends, especially sparking a love of baseball in his nieces. Kelly was a member of the Brothers of the Hammer Motorcycle Club and was known as Eight Ball.

Kelly was raised in a loving family, and he is survived by his devoted mother, Brenda Anderson; his caring father, Kelly Anderson; his companion, Frances Robles and bonus children Juliette Cochran and Edgar Negrom, Jr. and his siblings, Tyneshia Jones-Stephenson and Kenda Anderson. He will also be dearly missed by his nieces, Nya Anderson, Trinityee Stephenson, and Ja’Nele Stephenson, as well as his nephew, Marquis Stephenson.

As we gather to remember Kelly, we will cherish the memories and the joy he brought into this world. In honor of Kelly's life, a public viewing will be held at the Jaylex Event Center, 2110 Glenwood Ave, on Saturday June 7, 2025, at 9:00 AM, with the Celebration of Life Services to begin at 10:00 AM. His spirit will live on in our hearts, guiding us with his love and laughter. Rest in peace, Kelly. You will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
