Kellan Ford Obituary

Published by Boyd-Horrox-Givnish Funeral Home on Jun. 11, 2021.
Kellan Michael Ford (5), of Harleysville, went home to the Lord to receive his angel wings on Friday, June 11, 2021. Kellan was born March 11, 2016 to his loving parents Michael and Kristin (Kane) and he was the best friend and little brother of Parker Ford. Kellan will be remembered as a compassionate, loving, grateful and sassy boy. He was a proud pet parent of Fishy. Kellan enjoyed mini-golf, karate, soccer, board/video/card games, Legos, dancing and telling jokes. He was an enthusiastic preschooler at Saint Helena, an honorary Demo Team Captain at Action Karate North Wales and avid soccer player. He was his happiest when he was with family at the beach, outside or snuggling. We will always remember his infectious smile and joyous laugh. Although his time with us was brief he taught us the importance of faith and happiness despite life's challenges. In addition to his parents and big brother, Kellan is survived by his great grandparents Joseph and Elizabeth (Craney) Gormely, Frank and Carolyn Ford; grandparents Gary and Joanne (Gormley) Kane Sr., Michael and Frances Ford Sr., Blake and Debra (Geiger) Bowers; aunts and uncles Gary and Rachel (Rode) Kane Jr., Dean and Kelly (Kane) Shacklett Jr., Victoria Kane, Joanna Kane, Jack Kane, Kyle Kane, Karly Kane, Nicole Ford; and his cousins Dean III, Ryan and Khloe Shacklett, Gary III and Sophia Kane, and Hunter (Ford) vanHorn. Family and friends are invited to share in Kellan's Life Celebration on Thursday June 17, from 5 PM to 9 PM at Boyd-Horrox-Givnish of East Norriton, 200 West Germantown Pike, 610-277-7000, and on Friday June 18, from 9 to 10:50 AM at St. Helena's Church 1489 Dekalb Pike, Blue Bell, PA. His Mass of Christian burial will begin at 11 AM. Interment will be at Westminster Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd. In lieu of flowers, donations in Kellan's name can be made to "The Kellan Ford Foundation" to support childhood cancer research and holistic cancer care at 1816 West Point Pike, Suite 215, Lansdale, PA 19446.

I remember when Kellan was made the official captain of the Action Karate demo team. He had such a blast watching those teams preform, and he smiled the whole way through. I remember having fun with Kellan after the demo showoff just for him. I know Kellan is very happy in heaven and is smiling at all of us from above. My thoughts go out the the Ford family.

From Kellan's karate friend, Collin Ceciu.

Jesus said, Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.'

I am sure that your Kellan is is well within the gates of the kingdom of heaven that Jesus mentioned here.

Kristin,
So sorry to hear of your loss, mere words can never truly express the sadness of this moment. Your love of Kellan endures and his suffering is now over. Someday you'll be reunited in a world without pain and I truly hope happy memories will sustain your family in these difficult days.
