Jim Kelly

When I was a kid, Jim Kelly was one of them favorites. I like when he beat the cops in the movie for calling him a jig. I still have problems with racist today.

Thank you for being authentic and knowing your ART and skills. You were an inspiration in Television to my entire family growing up in Brooklyn in the 70s.

He was the black Bruce lee in America. He was too busy looking good. REST IN POWER my brother.

The first black, handsome and professional martial arts expert ever to appear in movies back in the 1970's. I was so proud back in them days. I am watching Black Belt Jones right at this very moment. Jim you will forever be in my memories, I will never forget your influence and representation of a strong and intelligent black man, plus it didn't hurt that you could kick butt too...RIP my brother...LOVE PEACE and HARMONY

I sure loved his movies when i was growing up he will be missed

Rest in peace. I enjoyed watching your movies as an teenager.

Jim was my best friend in jr. high school. I remember both of us being chased by some local hoods after school, because one thought Jim was "hittin" on his girl. That may have been the only time Jim ran from anyone.

R.I.p my brother. Love u in everything.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

I was so sad to hear that Jim Kelly had "passed away", I loved him in Enter the Dragon. It seems all the great ones are leaving us. RIP Mr Kelly aka Williams

When we were kids me my sis and bro we saw enter the dragon. After seeing Jim Kelly and Bruce lee doing kung fu we thought we could do it to. Jim Kelly had this thing ,coolness ,he was fine, but it was more than that.i love his movies. When I saw enter the dragon I wanted to see more . Gone to soon. Rest in heavenly peace and god please give your family his loving comfort and peace.

Seeing Jim Kelly in enter the dragon he was so handsome and so so cool . Till this day I still love that movie. Was sorry to hear he passed.

I met Jim for the first time while playing tennis at Oceanview Park in San Diego. It was great because it was the great Jim Kelly, you know, Enter the Dragon and all. I then ran into him at Kearny Mesa Court where I worked years later. Then, he told me about his health issues. I had much respect for Jim. It is yet hard to believe he is gone. But, he has nomore pain. Deputy Doug Bowen, Retired

Rest in peace. You gave us a wonderful role and were more than that.

Will miss him greatly had crush many yearsloved his work God bless

Jim you will really be missed by your fans. Your handsome features and talents will never be forgotten by me.

I just learned tonight that Jim Kelly who I've known for the past 10 or so years passed away this year on June 29th of cancer. I had been thinking about him and that I hadn't seen in awhile. Originally I met Jim at the Poway 24 hour fitness and we rapped a lot and then consistently bumped into each other at the Trader Joe's in Carmel Mountain Ranch, at the 24 hour fitness in Penasquitos and would always bump into each other at car parks, etc. We'd exchange cards and contact, but mostly just spontaneously rap about how things were going. Jim also was a tennis pro and lived in Coronado and La Jolla as well as spending time in Los Angeles still connected to the movie industry. He also dabbled in real estate. He was a sweet big strong gentle guy. Hard to believe he's gone. I'm sad that I won't see his positive smiling face again and his tall lanky exquisite posture that despite his age seemed to exude grace, strength, health and vitality. He knew I wasn't a follower of the Kung Fu movies and so I can't say I ever watched any of his movies he co-starred in with Bruce Lee but I'm sure they were memorable for the genre. I am sad he's gone and am more keenly aware of how fragile and fleeting our time is on earth. I wish him peace and blessings. Sincerest condolences to his family and close friends. He was a gentle giant.

TO THE FAMILY OF JIM KELLY. I REALLY LOVED HIM VERY MUCH. HE WAS A FINE ACTOR. I JUST FOUND OUT HE PASSED AWAY, 12/09/2013. HE WILL
SOLEY BE MISSED. MY REGUARDS GO OUT TO HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND FANS. CORINNE, VIRGINIA
BEACH, VIRGINIA.
