Greg was one of the greatest people I have ever met. One Saturday morning I called because o sise effects of medication. He was with a patient and told me he would call me back. He did and the advice he gave me changed my life at that time when medical doctors failed. Forever grateful and include him in my prayers every

Dr. Kelling's life journey and passing will leave a vacuum, an empty place, in the hearts and the minds of the people he came into contact with. He was a very unique individual and a gift to those who knew him. May God rest his soul with great peace and comfort. I will never forget his dedication and the valuable guidance that he so willingly provided me.

Kellings: I can't help but smile every time I think about Greg, Joe, Cathy, and every sibling. Quite simply, you have all brought nothing but joy to my life and I know countless others. When I arrived on the St. James scene Joe's junior year, I met a young man - let's just say not lacking in confidence. He was a blast to coach and be around from day one. Although soccer was not his #1 sport, Joe quickly proved that he was a competitor and always playing to find a way to win, in spite of being part of a squad that may not have been the most talented. I bring all this up because obviously the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! I slowly got to know Cathy and Joe's brothers and sisters as time has gone on, but I quickly realized I was getting a package deal when Joe was playing. Greg was at virtually every game as our team doctor. He and Matt gave their time selflessly, working up our boys coming off of the field injured and getting them back out there as quickly as possible. Greg's healing touch was indisputable. His willingness to advise on all things health and performance - wise was non stop. I told Greg time and time again he had a life time pass as our team doctor, and he continued to do so, as recently as our state boy's championship year, even after Joe's graduation. He had a passion for life and those things he knew so much about - and willingness to share them. He also was a passionate Thunder fan. On more than one occasion I had to shut him up or I would have gotten kicked out of the game! One of my favorite memories was in our first varsity season together, in the first round loss to eventual state champ KC Christian (who we almost beat), the referee stopped the game to give me a yellow card. I was baffled as to why I was getting this card - he then pointed to the end of the bench where he had been getting an earful. Guess who?!!! For someone I have not known that long, I fell fast for Greg Kelling and his family. He was a true friend of mine and to all that crossed his path on my watch. After our first historic final four berth (in which under's Joe leadership we knocked off the #1 and #2 teams in the state to get there), we lost the semis and 3rd place game. As we lined up for SJA's historic first boy's final four team picture, I stopped the cameraman and spent 5 minutes tracking down Greg. There was no way I was going to have that picture taken without him. As it turns out that may be the only picture I know of him with our team(s). It will forever be part of my memory book and he, as well as his wonderful family, will be forever part of my life and SJA. God bless you all. Love, Rick Enna

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Dr. Kelling. My heart is broken hearing of his passing. My visits with him were like "coming home".....so caring and concerned, even the disapproving tone or random eye-roll will be truly missed. Thank you Dr. Kelling for all you have done for me & my family - I'm forever grateful.

Dr. Greg possessed a tremendous amount of knowlegde, which he was glad to share with others whenever the opportunity presented itself. Also, his desire for always acquiring new knowledge was very admirable and inspiring for the rest of us. I have learned much from him, and for that I am very grateful. What a remarkable person, always trying to help others! Special people like him are hard to find and indeed deserve much respect. He will certainly be missed by many.
We extend our deepest sympathy to the family. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Also a big thank you is due to all of you for supporting your husband and father in his beautiful work. May God bless you all!

Dr. Greg touched the lives of many, including myself and many of my friends and family. He truly had a healing touch and God used him to help so many. I am forever grateful for him and his work and the healing that he promoted in the lives of both me and my husband. I will truly miss him! His wife and children are in my prayers. I wish you all the very best. God knows what he is doing, even when we can't understand. Put your trust in him, and lean not on your own understanding.

I was fortunate enough to be Greg Kelling's high school football coach. He was a major contributor to our success. I labeled Greg as a consummate thinker. Each week after giving the players the opponents' scouting report there was always one inquisitive face (GK) who had the look of "Coach, I think I may have a better way." We are all better because of Greg Kelling.

I knew Greg in high school and had the opportunity to compete with him in sports. He was a fierce competitor on the field and a scholar off the field. I am saddened to hear about his passing. My condolence to Greg’s family during this hard time.

We have many memories of Uncle Greg. Everytime we look in our supplement cabinet of millions of Standard Process bottles we remember you. Greg's word was gold. Whatever he told Dan that would fix our ouchies, he was right. Catelyn, of course, the competitive gymnast, will miss coming into see her Uncle Greg each week to fix her injuries and wear and tear on her body from the ridiculous things she does. Greg was one of her biggest cheerleaders, was always on Catelyn's side and always told her how good she was going to be. There was such a special bond between the 2 of them because of their love for athletics. All the gymnasts wanted to come see "Catelyn's Uncle Greg" to heal their hurts. Patrick was "Bub" to Greg. They would crack each other up because they are 2 of the most unique creatures God created, never apologizing for who they are!! Catelyn reminded me of a time that Patrick, Greg, and Adam were playing RockBand and Greg was singing his lungs out(off key of course) but he didn't care! They were the coolest RockBand ever!! May we all be reminded of the way Greg lived! Getting the most out of everyday, putting others ahead of himself, and leaving a legacy for his family. What an amazing man that did so much in such a short time he had on this earth! Look forward to seeing you in heaven again! Love, Dan, Jodie, Catelyn & Patrick Orel

Greg Kelling Family,
My thoughts and prayers goes out to each and everyone of you. I, as countless others, were so blessed to have known Greg. He not only treated me for over 30 years, he treated all my Cross Country athletes as well, always working them in to his busy schedule when an injury occurred, particularly before a meet. Just walking into his office and seeing his great smile, and his acknowledgement of you, would make you feel better. We all have truly lost a great man who touched so many lives.

One of the greatest blessings in my life has been the privilege of having Dr. Greg Kelling as doctor, mentor, colleague and most of all best friend for 25 years.
He was one of the most accomplished natural physicians in a very wide area and more importantly, one of the kindest, most generous and compassionate people I have ever known.
His gifts and talents are well represented by his wonderful family. We are very thankful to his wife and family for sharing him with the many of us who will miss this great man.
Kathy, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I don't know that I have ever known a man more full of love, faith, and a desire to help others. My heart goes out to his family, and also to all of those who have been healed by him. Maybe now, in Heaven where there are no tears and no suffering, he will finally get a day off work. Bless your heart, Greg.

Your smile and givingness shall be missed my friend. Hugs to you and peace to your family
