It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Brett Kelly, a beloved husband, father, and pillar of the Rockland County community. Brett suffered a sudden stroke that led to severe bleeding on the brain. He underwent emergency brain surgery and fought courageously through multiple procedures, but tragically passed away 14 days later.

For over 30 years, Brett proudly owned and operated La Terrazza restaurant and catering facility, where he built more than just a business; he built a community. He had a gift for making everyone feel welcome, whether they were lifelong friends or first-time guests. Brett was known for his kindness, generosity, and lighthearted spirit, always ready with a smile or a helping hand. Through the years, he gave so much back to the Rockland County community, supporting local causes and bringing people together around his table.

Now, his family needs our support. We are raising funds to help his wife and daughter during this incredibly difficult time. Donations will go toward covering medical expenses and helping secure his daughter’s college education, something Brett deeply cared about and worked so hard to provide. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to help us reach others who knew and loved Brett. Let’s come together to honor Brett’s legacy by supporting the family he loved so dearly.
