Kellis "Junior" B. Pitman, aged 80, of Indianapolis, passed away on August 4, 2025. Born on May 24, 1945, in Indianapolis, Indiana, he was the son of the late Kellis "Buddy" and Elnora Evelyn Pitman.
Kellis dedicated 30 years of service to MCL restaurant before his retirement. He greatly appreciated the outdoors, particularly fishing, driving, sightseeing, and exploring local state parks. After retiring, he found contentment spending time by lakes and ponds engaged in his favorite pastime – fishing.
Kellis is survived by his cousin and caregiver, Deena Pitman, as well as several other relatives. He was preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife, Mary L. Pitman, and his cousin and co-caregiver, Roscoe Kenneth "Ken" Pitman.
