It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Gregory Kelly, born on November 6, 1958. A beacon of light, Greg was known for his huge heart, humor, kind, and fun-loving personality which touched the lives of all who knew him. His laughter was one to remember and will continue to echo in the hearts of his loved ones.

Greg is survived by his wife, Patty Kelly, Daughters Lindsey (Justin) Lanier and Caitlin Kelly, and Son Tyler Kelly. He was the proudest Paw Paw to 4 Grandsons - Levi, Tristan, Jax and Asher. He is also survived by his 4 sisters Kimberly Trimble, Debbie Rogers, Karie Sue Sargent, and Casey Miracle, and his cousin who was more like a brother - T.R. Hathaway. His in-laws, Harry and Judy Berger along with many other extended family members also mourn his passing. Greg was predeceased by his mother, Patricia Sue Kelly, his father, Gregory Gene Chapman, his Uncle and Aunt who meant the world to him, Thomas and B.J. Hathaway, his sister in law Cynthia Adkins, his cousin Scott Hathaway, his brother in law Danny Rogers, and his nephew Paul Sargent -  among many other loved ones and friends that we know are welcoming him with open arms in heaven. 

Greg served in the Army from 1976-1980. He was a "car guy" and worked in the car business most of his life, making an immediate impact on all he met. A devoted fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Greg's passion for sports was notable and paved the way for numerous spirited conversations and debates. His love for the outdoors was evident in his favorite activities - hunting, fishing and golf - which he often enjoyed with his son and family/friends. He enjoyed many summers with his family in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Greg's life was filled with laughter, love, and a deep sense of caring for those around him. His legacy will live on in the memories we hold close and will forever be etched in the hearts of his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He had all "the stuff legends are made of". 

The family plans to have a celebration of life at later time.
