Mike Kelly & family

Dear Family and Friends,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the unexpected passing of Mike Kelly, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. If you had the pleasure of knowing Mike, you will understand that, despite his passing, I am writing this with a smile on my face just thinking of him. Mike lived every day to its fullest. He was an irrepressible jokester who found humor in even the darkest of situations. He had a fun, adventurous, and care-free attitude. He was known by many as "Uncle Mike," even if there was no familial relation. Many of his closest friends also referred to him as "Mad Mike." There are no words that can encompass the remarkable presence and spirit that Mike brought into the lives of his family and friends, and he will be greatly missed.

I have started this Go-Fund-Me on behalf of my cousins, Shaina, Kaycee, and Cody, who have been confronted with immense grief by this sudden loss. They are also dealing with the daunting challenge of covering funeral costs for a private, family viewing and cremation. In addition, they would also like to plan a celebration of life for a date in the future. In our darkest hour, we humbly reach out to you, our family and friends who knew/loved Uncle Mike, for support. No contribution is too small, and every donation will be etched into the hearts of those who loved him the most.

In Uncle Mike's memory, we thank you from the depths of our hearts for your support and love. May his spirit find peace and watch over his children and grandchildren.

*Date of celebration of life to be announced at a later date.

With gratitude,

The Family of Uncle "Mad Mike" Kelly

Update:

We also will be using the funds to take care of Buggy, Mike’s dog, to pay for her vet bill to get her blood work, antibiotics and updated vaccines. The bill was $480.60 dollars. Also, her hanging masses need removed and her prior vet records from 2020 indicated cancerous activity. We are having them removed but are going to get a 2nd opinion on cost first. Thank you so much for your kindness in helping get Buggy some much needed vet care.
