Kelly Griffith

Kelly Griffith, 62, of Belle, MO, passed away at his home on Monday, December 2, 2024. He was born on January 18, 1962, in Jefferson City, MO, to Gary and Brenda (Terrill) Griffith.



Kelly worked as a laborer with the Laborers' Union Local 662 and took pride in his craft.



Outside of work, he lived life to the fullest. He enjoyed farming, training horses, and woodworking, creating beauty and purpose with his hands. He was passionate about riding motorcycles and side-by-sides, hobbies he pursued with enthusiasm until his final days. Kelly loved spending time on the Gasconade River, where he often boated and found peace in nature. He also had a deep appreciation for antiques and took great pride in improving his home by building rock walls, clearing brush, and creating a serene retreat.
