Kelly Joseph Cadwallader, Jr.

A dad, high school sweetheart, brother, son, friend, uncle.

Kelly was hard working, loving, kind, loyal and had a great big heart.

Kelly was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 20.

If you know and love someone with Type 1 Diabetes, you know the highs and lows of it all.

Kelly was hospitalized in May with an injection-site infection. He was sent home and seemed to be doing better.

Kelly died unexpectedly in the early morning of Wednesday June 15, 2022.

Kelly was 37 years old.

Kelly and BriAnna were high shool sweethearts and soul-mates. They have 3 children - Parker (12), Hudson (8), Saylor (4) – who adore and need their father.

Everything has changed.

Nothing is the same.

The future is unclear.

Overwhelming and somewhat paralyzing.

Kelly and Bri were developing an estate plan and in the process of buying life insurance. But Kelly died with no insurance.

BriAnna continues to make her children her first priority!

She is truly amazing and has shown so much strength, facing this unimaginable tragedy. 

Bri has an amazing family and an extensive support system helping her move forward.

However, we need your help to keep her bills paid, the kids fed, and the car running!

You can do 3 things to help

1. Pray!!!  Pray for BriAnna, Parker, Hudson and Saylor.  Ask your family and friends to pray!   Pray for God’s grace to wrap them and guide them in the days to come.

2. Share this!!!   Social media is our friend!  Share with everyone!  Everywhere! 

3. Please donate - No amount is too small, and all is so greatly appreciated!

If we can have 1000 people donate $100, we will help Bri get on her feet.  Help her get the kids ready for school, find a job, and take the steps necessary to navigate the difficult road ahead. Thank you so much for supporting this grieving family!
