Kenneth E Kelly

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the death of Kenneth "Kenn" E. Kelly who peacefully passed away at home on August, 10th 2024. Kenn was born July 17th, 1959 in Allegan, MI to Delores and Franklin Kelly.

Kenn began life on the farm raising and milking cows alongside his brother and Grandpa Wayne at the Catalpa Jersey Farm. They would show their best cows at the county fair each year. Throughout high school, Kenn excelled in sports such as football and track and was named homecoming king during his senior year. He then began his life in the automotive field where he worked his way to an outstanding Masters Technician and was recognized with many awards throughout his career he proudly displayed on his wall. Later in life, he found his love for Harleys and purchased his first in 2000. He went on to enjoy countless rides and make many friends along the way. Later in life, Kenn's biggest pride and joy was his granddaughters, all 10 of them. Being a grandfather and "having all of his kids under one roof," were some of his greatest joys in life. He was a beloved father, son, and grandfather and will be deeply missed.

Kenn is survived by his Mother Delores Kelly, sister Karen Colborn (Kent), Sister-in-law Terri Kelly, Children: Kenneth W. Kelly (Megan), Soren Kelly (Erika), Mariah Kelly, Konner Kelly (Rachel), Leah Bahr (Dylan), 10 grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
