My father, Kelly Lynn, was struggling with medical issues for around a year before he passed on Saturday, May 17, at 12:03, surrounded by people he loved.

The week leading up to his passing was incredibly difficult. He was flown to El Paso just the week prior, and the day prior to his passing, his home caught fire. The fire took everything in the house, his partner Michele, all of his mother’s artwork, and all family photos.

Donations will be going to a proper funeral service, where he will be cremated and buried next to his mother in Silver City.
