Help Stephen's Family in Their Time of Sorrow

We are heartbroken to announce the tragic, unexpected passing of our beloved son, grandson, brother, friend and father, Stephen Leigh Kelley who was just short of the age of 32, which he was set to celebrate on July 27th. We are all still reeling, and having an extremely difficult time believing that this is actually happening. Stephen passed unexpectedly on June 26th after battling mental health issues for the past several years.

To know Stephen, you would know that he lit up any room he walked into and filled it with laughter as he enjoyed joking around and having a good time, especially when it involved his family. Stephen thrived off of feeling and looking good to keep his positivity flowing. He couldn't walk past a mirror without staring at himself flexing or checking his smile. It became amusing at times because he would often ask "do I look good?" "how's this outfit?" mind you these were done while flexing just so he could get that answer he was looking for, you look great! Stephen thrived to try and be the best possible person he could be and perfection was his goal. He aimed to prove everyone wrong and show them that he could do what was promised. Days prior to his departure, Stephen saw his mom and gave her a lasting memory of his perfect smile and tasteless personality that she will never be able to forget. Stephen enjoyed art and portrayed that on his body with his tattoos that he had, and each one had its own meaning and story.

Stephen has left behind his mother, Deanna Kelley, his father Sam Mar, his daughter Jaidah, his three sisters, Brittany, Emily & Savannah, and his brother, Kori.

Stephen's departure has left his family and friends with unforeseen expenses as now we have to look into services & a cremation which is very costly. As his family and friends navigate through this difficult time, we are reaching out for support to everyone to help cover the cost of his memorial services and cremation. Any contribution, big or small, will help us honor Stephen’s memory in the way he truly deserves. Your generous support for Stephen and his family by contributing to his GoFundMe campaign will make a significant difference.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support during this incredibly challenging time.
