I met Kelley at The River Oaks mall with Mitch. I was 15 years old. We had the same birthday but I was a year older. I was born in Houston but left when I was 10 yrs old. Every summer I would visit my grandma in Houston. Kelley was my first boy crush. I still love and miss him. We would see each other in the summers. Can someone please contact me about Kelley? I would so appreciate it. RIP Kelley

10 years has passed since we lost Kelly. There is still no one that has been able to take his place, and may never be. I hope and pray that he Rests in Peace.

Kelly was a very special person to all who knew him here in Austin. He played the vital role of an attorney for the people and I personally will and do miss him very much. Kelly was someone whose legal advice you could trust and someone you could speak candidly with and know he would not lie to you. Those qualities alone made him so irreplaceably unique, but Kelly was more than that. He was my friend. I regret I could not make it to Houston for his memorial service. I know he deeply touched the lives of all who knew him, and his loss has left a void in our comnmunity.-

Ross and Dorothy,

I was out of town on spring break with our children and did not learn of your loss until I returned. Our prayers are with your family at this time of sorrow.

I am saddened to hear of Kelley's passing, and I am sorry I was unable to attend the memorial service. I attended RO Elementary, and remember Kelley even as a young boy as we were the same age. Sincerest condolences.

I want to express sincere sympathy at Kelly's passing. Kelly's was a very well like among the few of my friends who knew him. My good friend Jim Casparis was able to go down to pay his respects. We will both miss him. He has so much to give yet. But the life force goes on and he will continue with a postive influence whereever he goes.
