Heath Adrian Kelley

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Heath Adrian Kelley, who left us at the age of 53.

Heath was a man of great complexity who truly embraced life when he was at his best. He was well known for his passion in the kitchen, where he expressed his love through cooking, and for his generous heart, making grand gestures to make others feel special. Those close to him will fondly remember his playful spirit and the joy he took in razzing the people he loved most.

While Heath's journey was often made difficult by his struggles that at times created distance between him and those he cared for-we choose to remember the vibrant person he was and the love we shared. We acknowledge the challenges he faced and the strain they caused, yet we hold onto the moments of warmth and connection that defined our bond with him.

Heath is survived by his mother, Carol Kelley; his siblings, Debi, Brooke, and Brandi; his son, Nash; and his grandson, Gannon, and nieces and nephew. He was preceded in death by his father, Tom Kelley.

Private family services will be held at a later time.

Arrangements are under the direction of Anderson's Tribute Center, 1401 Belmont Avenue, Hood River, Oregon 97031. Condolences may be shared with the family by visiting www.AndersonsTributeCenter.com.
