I can't think of one single memory of Kelly that isn't a good one--and there are so very many after all those years in school. Rest in peace, Kelly. It was my privilege to know you.

Some of my fondest memories of the AHS Class of 86 include Kelly Prewitt and his fun loving antics. Thinking of and praying for all who knew and loved Kelly.

Kelly and I were not really close but he was definitely not someone you forget. The memory that comes to mind vividly for me is that of a certain revolt at a pep rally (any member of AHS class of '86 will remember)with Kelly wailing on the drums with his band. I think most of the school was expelled that day! Rock on in heaven Kelly.
