Itâs hard to find the words to describe the heartbreak that Kelly has left us all feeling.
Kelly had a way of making everyone laugh. He was always up for a good time, and if someone needed a hand, he was one of the first to show upâespecially during fair week. As we head into fair week this year, I know his absence will be felt by so many.
The love Kelly had for his family was something you could see every single day. Blaine and I feel incredibly lucky to have had both Kirs and Kelly in our lives, and even more fortunate that their daughters have become such good friends of ours. We always looked forward to seeing them whenever they came home.
One of the memories Iâll treasure forever is spending the Fourth of July together with the OâConnor family this year. Looking back now, it feels even more special, and Iâm so thankful we had that time together.
The memories Kelly leaves behind are forever etched into our hearts. They are some of my favorite memories, especially if there happened to be a little champagne involved. His laughter, kindness, and the joy he brought to every room will never be forgotten.
Kelly, you will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Thank you for the memories, the laughter, and for reminding all of us to enjoy life a little more. Until we meet again. Cheers đť
I hope you are enjoying an ice cold Coors light.
