Kelly Marie Kearns

John I was shocked and dismayed to hear of your loss. I can´t imagine
Please know that my entire family sends our love and support. Stephen, Teresa, Kai, Nathan and HalcieBernstein

I'm so very sorry to the Kearn family for your loss. Such a beautiful, sweet soul gone too early. Please accept my sincere condolences.

One of my favorite memories of Kelly is the day we walked into the pet shop after lunch and she saw Puppy for the first time. When we walked over to the cage where they were keeping Puppy, she was standing next to me.

The shop owner took Puppy out of her cage and handed her to me, it took 3 or 4 seconds. Before I could turn around, Kelly had run out of the store. Her reaction was so unexpected.

We laughed so hard that day, Kelly told me she could not play with Puppy because she was too adorable. Kelly was almost in tears. I tried to get her to come back in the store, but she wouldn't.

In her defense, Puppy was very cute when she was actually a puppy. A couple of days later, Kelly told me she dreamed about Puppy and was going back to the store to get her. I told her to go for it!

Kelly brought so much joy to my life. Over the years, we had so much fun. She was a great friend who gave so much to the community. During the time we worked together at the Big Bend Homeless Coalition, I learned so much from her about compassion and what it really means to help other people.

I still don't want to believe Kelly is gone. She would want us all to remember the good times, which doesn't make her passing hurt any less.

I send my prayers and condolences to the Kearns family. Kelly will truly be missed.

Sending love and prayers! Kelly will be missed but never forgotten. I hope we all find peace knowing she is will our Heavenly Father. XOXOXO Jenn, Trav & Bella.

I never met someone as positive, giving, careless, thoughtful, and an impact to my life as Kelly. I am so sorry for your loss. I think about you everyday. I have learned so much from you. You got called home way to early. GO IRISH! GO NOLES!

You will forever be in our hearts. Rest easy Kelly.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter, Johnny. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Debbie, you, Kelly and your family are in my prayers during this very hard time. I hope for peace for your family!

Such a wonderful, supportive friend and coworker! You are greatly missed!

Kelly, I will forever remember our flying rubber finger chicken wars over the cubicles at RMHS. I will miss your humor and wit. Rest easy my friend.

Dear Johnny, Sean, Debbie, Kaylyn, and Owen, there are no words to express how much we love you and how heartbroken we are. We remember Kelley as the lovely little girl at our wedding, tagging along with her big brother and lighting up the world with her amazing smile. That seems like yesterday. We are all enriched from her presence in the world. We are sending you love, sympathy, and the biggest hugs.

The greater the love the greater the loss- I know the tremendous love Johnny has for his family so I know the magnitude of the loss is immeasurable. Praying for you my friend - how lucky for her that you were her father - a fine man of character and class. Love ya and ALWAYS here for you

My heart goes out to your family. I had the honor of knowing Kelly through her work at RMHS. She could absolutely light up a room with her smile and always had such terrific energy. Her passion and compassion always shone through. I especially appreciated her irreverent sense of humor. She will be missed and remembered always by her team here as well as the many children and families whose lives she touched. May peace be with you during this difficult time, and my her memory be a blessing.

Johnny, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Everyone at the office is thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. We love you.

I'm in complete shock that Kelly is gone - I thought that I would have time to get back in touch with her...Kelly was one of my best friends in high school and we got each other through some rough times and made each other laugh. We lost touch after high school since I went to Boston and she went to Tallahassee, but she remained very special to me. I was thinking of having a zoom call with her and our old group of friends during COVID and now deeply regret not initiating that. Kelly was luminous, super giving of her time, mischievous, a great listener, but far too hard on herself at the same time. Our group of friends loved Kelly. She would light the room up with her smile and give the best hugs. She meant far more to me than I expressed to her, but I like to think that she knew anyway. I'll always have fond memories of our time in Gainesville, going over to her house and celebrating birthdays together. I can't believe this has happened, and really wish I reached out to her earlier so that I could have visited her. Much love to Kelly's family.... Jina
