Milton Russell Kelley Jr. (71) of Beaufort, SC passed away peacefully on July 16, 2024 at his residence.
The family will have a celebration of life service for friends and family on July 26, 2024 (4-7 pm) at the Am Vets of Beaufort. Milton was born in Orangeburg, SC on March 2, 1953. He is the son of Milton Russell Kelley Sr. and Mary Rena Nunamaker Kelley. Milton was an incredible friend, father, and brother. He was an avid motorcycle enthusiast and enjoyed life on the water to the fullest, from surfing to fishing and sailing. Milton was exceptionally handy at repairing anything that he encountered and taught others his skills. Milton enjoyed traveling and met people on their level. He always tried to be a helpful and inspiring influence on others. He was incredibly generous and would give you the shirt off of his back if he thought you needed it, even though you didn't ask. Milton was a bright, kind, and loving man who wanted to continue to inspire us to live our best life! He is survived by his significant other and world travel companion Terry Guinn, his daughter Dolphin Kelley Spach (Steven), his stepdaughters Hydie Burroughs (Scott) and Laura Tucker (Paul). Milton is survived by his sister Diane Kelley Pina and his brother Harvey Kelley. He is also survived by his grandchildren Ariel and Tradd Spach as well as his step grandchildren Amanda and Isabelle Burroughs as well as his nephew Russell Brewton and niece Mary-Elisa Pina. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Friends of Caroline Hospice, the MS Foundation, the American Cancer Society, the Salvation Army, or the Friends of Hunting Island.
