Kelly Mullen Obituary

Kelly Egan Mullen, of West Scranton, passed away unexpectedly Tuesday at Geisinger Community Medical Center. He was 31 years old.

Born in Scranton on March 25, 1991, Kelly was the beloved son of Jo Ann (Egan) Van Fleet of Scranton and the late Thomas Kelly Mullen and the beloved grandson of Donald G. and Rose Egan of Scranton. He was a graduate of both North Pocono High School and Lackawanna College and attended Penn State University.

Kelly was a sous chef in several local restaurants including Harvest Grill and Market Street Grill. A lifelong sports fan, he loved playing basketball and was a die-hard fan of both the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies. He never missed an opportunity to catch a Dave Matthews Band concert and he also loved watching movies and relaxing at his pool. All who loved him will forever miss his kind heart and giving nature.

He is also survived by his cousins, Patrick, Genevieve, Christopher, Sabrina, Shannon, Kerry and Billy; aunts and uncles, godmother Sharon Kirby, Jack Kirby, godfather D.G. Egan, Nuzhat Egan, Tim Egan and Julie Egan; and cousins and countless friends.

An animal lover, he is also survived by his adored pups, Koda, Kash, Ella and Ike, whom he loved beyond words.

A Mass of Christian Burial is scheduled to begin Monday at 11 a.m. in Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel, 1605 Oram St., West Scranton, with burial to follow at Cathedral Cemetery. Family and friends may pay their respects at the church Monday from 9:30 a.m. until Mass. Those attending the funeral are asked to go directly to the church.

The kindest of souls, Kelly gave unselfishly to all who knew him. He final act of kindness came in giving the gift of life as he donated his organs to make life possible for many others. Kelly will be dearly missed but will certainly live on through the hearts of all who loved him.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Kelly's name to the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter, 967 Griffin Pond Road, South Abington Twp., PA 18411. Arrangements are under the care of the Kevin K. Kearney Funeral Home Inc., 125 N. Main Ave., Scranton. Please visit the funeral home's website for directions or to leave a condolence.

Dear JoAnn and Family,
Our love and prayers are with you at this very sad time, the loss of your dearly loved son Kelly. The heartache of losing a child has to be the most devastating time in the life of a parent, and we hope that God will give you the strength to bear this great loss. You can also depend on the greatest loving and caring support of your wonderful family, to help you through this, along with your many friends, and never forget, we are here for you always!
Please understand that as much as we want to be with you during these difficult days, we cannot be there with you to share in Kelly´s mass and farewell. However, our thoughts will be with him and all of you that are there. We are grieving the loss of our great nephew in our own way and will always remember Kelly as a caring, thoughtful and loving young man that I loved. You both will always be in our prayers.
Our deepest sympathy and love!
