Timothy Kelley

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Timothy (Tim) Kelley, on August 13, 2024, a cherished son, husband, father, brother, and friend. Tim was born on June 2nd, 1962, in Fort Wayne - the same place he could live out retirement raising his daughter with his wife of 20 years. While working, Tim spent his career learning different trades and serving his community by assisting in constructing and repairing homes and businesses. Tim loved to laugh, travel, fish with friends, landscape his yard, listen to music, play his guitar, and complete projects around the house. He is survived by his loving wife and daughter, Kim and Taylor Kelley, his adoring mother, Joy Kelley, and his caring siblings, Wendy Kramer, Kathy Ritchie, and Brian Kelley. His father, Patrick Kelley, preceded him in death. This loss is felt by all those who had the incredible privilege of knowing Tim, and his memory will be kept alive in the hearts of many. Tim's life is a wonderful example of a life well-lived, and we encourage you all to share any memories or photos that you have with Tim. Let us all celebrate Tim - a beautiful soul who lived life to the fullest and always stayed true to himself. At this time no public service will be planned. Sheets & Childs Funeral Home has been entrusted with these arrangements.
