Kevin “KK” Kelly, 58, of Walton passed away peacefully on Wednesday, Dec. 25, 2019 at UHS Wilson Medical Center following a brief illness.
Born July 5, 1961 in Cornwall, N.Y., he was the son of the late Lafayette and Virginia Gordon Kelly.
KK was a devoted family man and took great joy in watching his children Sean and Casey play sports when they were growing up. His best times were spent around the bonfire or at one of his famous garage parties, drinking a cold beer and being surrounded by his very close friends and family, especially his grandchildren whom he adored. KK had a wonderful sense of humor and could put a smile on anyone’s face. He was a man that loved his sweets and was always known to carry a box of candy in his shirt pocket at all times.
Survived by his children Sean Kelly (Kendra) of Walton and Casey Kelly (Kristie) of Mount Pleasant, N.C.; brothers Gary Enright of Long Island and Brian Kelly (Susan) of Walton; sisters Tara Kelly (Doug) of Trout Creek and Ginger Stanton (Patrick) of Honesdale, Pa.; grandchildren Jazlyn Kelly, Payton Kelly, Huck Kelly, Holt, Kylee, Levi, Kendyll and Korbyn; longtime girlfriend Rosemary Mannino of Walton and mother-in-law Audrey MacGibbon. KK is also survived by several brothers- and sisters-in-law along with several nieces, nephews and cousins. He is predeceased by his beloved wife Patricia S. Kelly who passed away Oct. 21, 2010.
