Mr. Kelley passed away Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at Church Home Life Spring Rehabilitation Center in Fort Valley.

He served his country proudly in the United States Army from 1965-1967 earning the National Defense Service Medal. He was a graduate of Pelham High School, and loved to hunt, fish and do woodworking. He was loved by many and a very trusted friend. He enjoyed grilling with family and friends and made the best rack of ribs you have ever put your mouth on. Mr. Kelley had a contagious smile and would light up a room and was an avid fan of Elvis Presley, often sitting and listening to his music and loved watching you tube videos and playing bingo. He also loved to watch home videos that he had filmed with family and friends. Mr. Kelley’s favorite thing to do was eat cake and ice cream and he ate as much as he wanted to during the last days of his life. He was also a member of Ingleside Baptist Church and Macon Lions Club. The family would like to thank the staff of Atrium Health Navicent Peach, Atrium Health Navicent Pine Point Hospice, Church Home Life Spring Rehab Center and Heartland Hospice for the care they gave Mr. Kelley during the last months of his life.
