Gary Lee Kelley, 64, passed away on June 27, 2025. Born on June 18, 1961, Gary lived a life marked by creativity, humor, and a love for the outdoors.
He was married to Shari Lynn Kelley since October 1984. Together, they raised three children: Sonya (Craig), Joseph, and their late daughter Allycia. Gary is also survived by four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
He is survived by his mother, Gladys, of Arizona; his sister Donna, of Washington; and his son Joseph of Arizona. He was preceded in death by his daughter Allycia, his sister Ellen, and his father, Richard.
Gary had a talent for working with his hands, building furniture, crafting unique Halloween costumes, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. He loved camping, cooking, and playing cribbage (especially when he could sneak extra points past you). Known for his offbeat sense of humor, he enjoyed giving and receiving gag gifts, a playful tradition he kept up over the years.
Gary’s creativity, humor, and love for the outdoors are part of the story he leaves behind. Those who knew him will remember the things he built, the laughs he shared, and the originality he brought to the spaces around him.
