Kelly Ryan Campanella, 34, of Palm Coast, Florida, passed away on January 26, 2026. He was born on March 26, 1991, in Daytona Beach, Florida, to Carmen and Margaret Campanella.
Kelly was a devoted Christian whose life was rooted in faith, service, and love for others. He was a graduate of Daytona State College, where he earned his Associate of Arts degree, and was currently attending South Florida Bible College, working toward a Bachelor’s degree in Ministry and Leadership. His calling to serve was evident in every aspect of his life.
Kelly worked in maintenance at Faith Farm Ministries, where he not only maintained the campus but also led classes and poured into the lives of others. Known for his strong work ethic and remarkable ability to fix just about anything, Kelly approached every task with humility, care, and excellence. More than his skills, however, it was his heart that left the greatest impact.
He was warm, compassionate, and deeply generous, always willing to help and always ready for a real conversation. Kelly lived his faith authentically, preaching God’s Word through both his words and his actions. He did not just talk about faith. He walked it daily, touching countless lives through his kindness, encouragement, and unwavering commitment to Christ. Outside of his work and ministry, Kelly was an incredible cook who loved preparing holiday meals for his family. He had a deep love for animals and a soft spot for caring for them. He also loved the outdoors and was often the one making sure the fire was always going.
Kelly is survived by his loving mother, Margaret Campanella; his two sisters, Elizabeth LeDoux (spouse Jeanmarie LeDoux) and Haley Campanella; and his loyal and faithful dog, Loki, who was always by his side. He was preceded in death by his father, Carmen Campanella, and his beloved grandparents, Donald and Helene Hipkens.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at Clymer Funeral Home, 39 Old Kings Rd. N., Palm Coast, Florida, 32137; with visitation from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., followed by a service at 3:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorial donations be made in Kelly’s name to Faith Farm Ministries in Boynton Beach, Florida.
