Glenn Kellam Obituary

Dr. Glenn P. Kellam passed away on December 31, 2021. Even though a failing heart took him away from this world, his loving heart left a beacon of light for all those who knew him. He was a minister, counselor, and consultant working with individuals and corporations alike. He spent most of his life in the pursuit of helping others create a better life for themselves. It was his life passion. Glenn is survived by his beautiful wife of 67 years, Marcellia (Jo) and 3 loving sons William (Billy) & wife Cheryl Kellam, Sutton Kellam and Wayne & wife Maurica Kellam. He is also survived by 3 grandchildren, Matthew Kellam, Carly Romanelli, Mandy Del Rosario and 7 great grandchildren. Glenn requested to be cremated and did not desire to have a memorial service. He would ask that if anyone wished to do something in his memory to please give to a charity. His favorite charity was St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

I remember as a little girl crawling up into that big lap of Glenn´s. He always had time for me. I wish I had not lost contact all these years. I smile every time I think of all of you. Blessing and love, Robyn -

A great insightful man. I know I'm better from knowing him. We should all have that kind of impact on others.
