David was born October 12, 1959 in East Meadow, NY, the son of the late Alfred and Rita (Carley) Kelly and the late Walter Helstowski.
He attended Littlestown High School and was a lifelong horseman. His passion for horses led to a dedicated career, spending 24 years at Hanover Shoe Farms and 12 years at Fashion Farms in New Hope, PA.
He was a member of the United States Trotting Association and various local Rod and Gun Clubs. He enjoyed the outdoors and spending time with his family.
David is survived by his wife Michelle, daughter Shelly (husband Enmanuel), and daughter Victoria; grandchildren Zandro and Wren; brother Alfred J. Kelly, and sisters Anne Toot and June Marie Stremmel, nieces, nephews, and loving extended family.
