In Memory of Mike Kelly: Support His Loved Ones
Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family,
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the unexpected passing of our beloved, Mike Kelly. His premature departure on September 9th, 2024 while traveling abroad for a work trip has left us all beyond shocked. Mike was only 48 years old and leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. Mike also leaves behind three young children (Ryan-17, Connor-15, Kate-11) and his beloved wife, Kelly. While they are completely devastated by this tragedy, they are showing us all what it means to persevere and continue to live on honoring their father/husband throughout every day.
Mike also leaves behind two large, loving extended families of 16 nieces and nephews, in-laws, cousins, and friends who are all going to miss him dearly. Mike was able to put a smile on anyone’s face and wanted nothing more than to see his kids flourish and live their best lives. He was the definition of a family guy in every sense and
wouldn't hesitate to drop everything he was doing to come help a friend/family member in need.
As we navigate this difficult time, we are faced with unexpected expenses related to Mike’s passing. We are reaching out to our friends and family for support to help Mike’s family cover funeral costs, household bills, and future educations for his young children. Your contribution, no matter big or small, will be a tremendous help and deeply appreciated by our entire family.
In honor of Mike’s memory, we also welcome any stories or memories you would like to share. We know he touched so many hearts, and it’s comforting to hear how his life impacted others. Thank you for your love, support, and generosity during this time. Your kindness means more to us than words can express. Please feel free to share this post.
With immense gratitude,
The Kelly/Hennessy families
