Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

RIP Kelly You were an inspiration to many. Wonderful thoughts of our childhood; the basketball games, track meets, softball games. Thinking of the family you left behind. You will be missed. Hudgins family

Kelly and I went through all grades of school together. We would always be the first ones at school when we were at Menlo. My mom had to be at work early and his granddad Mr. Pete worked there at the school. A great man himself. I would bring bags of bubble gum and maybe sometimes candy and we would play chase and blow bubbles. I'm so sorry for your loss. A great friend. Rest in peace my friend.
