Obituary of Brian P. Kelly

           Brian Phillip Kelly, born March 21, 1983 had his big heart give out unexpectedly on Saturday, September 16, 2017. He was an exceptionally kind and loving person with a genuine caring smile. Brian had a passion for football, as he played with one of the best teams Newfield has ever seen. He gave of himself by coaching and mentoring kids helping them to play the game well. One of Brian’s greatest joys were his dogs, Winnie and Nellie, who went with him everywhere.

           Brian is survived by his parents, Phillip “Bumpie” and Penny Kelly; his sister, Heather (Ryan) Babcock; his brother, Dustin (Heather) Jenney; his grandmothers, Sharon Kelly and Mary Thomas; his wife, Hilary; his dogs, Winnie and Nellie, many aunts and uncles, including Jennifer and Rick Pawlewicz, cousins, nieces, his special nephews, Patrick Bradish and Dustin Kelly as well as several dear friends. Brian has joined his Poppy, Phil Kelly who was previously united with our Lord.
