John Mark Kelley Sr. Obituary

We are sad to announce that on August 22, 2024 we had to say goodbye to John Mark Kelley Sr. of Cassopolis, Michigan, born in Smithville, Missouri. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of John Mark Kelley Sr. to show support.

In the hush of twilight, as the stars twinkle in silent homage, we reflect on the legacy John leaves behind and his impact on the lives of his loved ones. Though John may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the memories held dear by his family and friends, a guiding light that illuminates their paths in times of darkness.
