David Robert "Dave" Kelly

This wonderful physician and Surgeon was perhaps one of the most grounded and interesting persons that I have always called my friend, We miss him dearly. If Patti or any family member sees this I would like for that person to contact me.

Kelly Family,
I just heard of Dave's passing today. I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to attend Dave's celebration of life! What a great guy and equally great family! It was my privilege to have known Dave as the Olentangy footbal team doctor and to have been his and Pat's wonderful kids' high school principal! I recall once telling Dave and Pat that their family was Olentangy royalty! I can only echo that sentiment once again.

Patty -
We are just hearing of Dave's passing and we are so sorry that we missed his homegoing service. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Just think, he and George are together having a good laugh and enjoying themselves. God bless! Diane & Clarence Reavling & Kelli and Deric (Zachary) Cobb

Dear Kelly Family
I spent my first day in the Operating Room with your Father as a high school student 20 years ago. I went on to become an Orthopedic Surgeon. I can't imagine how many lives he touched between all the patients and caregivers he was involved with. My sincerest sympathies

We read of Dave's passing in the OSU Med Alumni update. Dave was not a close friend but a great classmate and truly a friend to all. We join all that knew him in expressing our sorrow.

Kelly Family.

We are so sorry to hear about Dr Kelly passing last month. Dr Kelly was an inspiration to us in many ways. He had a big part in giving us the best training in ENT that we could get. An even a bigger part in making it 5 of the most fun years of our lives despite all the work.God Bless and OUr Deepest Sympathy to all.

Dear Patty so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was truly a kind and gentle soul, I'm sure he will be missed by all who knew him and will leave a hole in everyone's heart. I am sure he is already up in Heaven looking down all he loved and were so dear to him. May he rest in peace.

Dear Kelly family, I just learned of Dr. Kelly's passing and send my sympathy. Dr. Kelly took care of my daughter with her ear surgery about 25 years ago. She loved him and named her teddy bear after him. "Dr. Kelly" she called him and still has him. He was very influential in her life, as she also decided to become a physician. Her name is Dr. Meghan Williams. Thank you Dr. Kelly for all you have done for your patients. Thank you Kelly Family for sharing your husband, father, grandfather.

Dear Patti and family,
Please accept our belated condolences on Dave's passing. We are so sorry for your loss and the great void his death has made in your family as well as the medical and athletic communities. Our prayers are for all of you and for Dave's soul. Eternsl rest grant him, Oh Lord.
