Mark David Kelsey

From time to time when I have an opportunity to share my story of how my CAO and I stayed in contact for many years, people are shocked to find what a wonderful person he was behind the uniform!! Gold Star Mother, Mary you of CPL Nathaniel Aaron Aguirre

Mark, I am eternally grateful you were in our lives In 2006 and beyond as a friend. And I could have asked for a better Casualty Notification Officer. I am richly blessed for that !

I had the privilege of serving with Mark in the Selective Service section of the Army Reserves. Mark was a good friend and he had a wonderful sense of humor. It was an honor to have worked with him and I will always have fond memories of our service together.

May the Lord bless and comfort Mark's wife, daughter and family during this difficult time.

My deep sympathy for you and your family Michele. I only knew Mark for a short time and could tell he had an impact on everyone he met.

I met Mark briefly at last years holiday party, and am just learning what a beautiful giving person he was. My thoughts and prayers are with you Michele, and your daughter. Wenda Davis

The world lost a great man in Mark. Mark was a friend, a mentor and a patriot. We will all surely miss him.

My deep sympathy, Michele and Molly. Mark was an extraordinary person, very intelligent, faith-filled, gracious, gifted, joyful, kind, caring and compassionate and much more. He is a very loved, honored, and respected member of the Kelsey/Harvey families. Mark will be greatly missed.
Yesterday Father Hamilton offered a Mass for Mark in our Chapel. He has received many prayers here. May he rest in peace, that peace which he imparted to so many others.

Love and...

Dear Michelle and Molly,
How proud you must be of the man you called Husband and Father. May God bless you at this time.
