David Joseph Kelly

March 20, 2015 | 2 comments

David Joseph Kelly, 61, completed his journey on this earth March 19, 2015.  He was born in Coral Gables, Florida on July 23, 1953 to Francis and Mary Jane Kelly.  David married Evelyn Smith on December 16, 1972 in Algiers, Louisiana.

David lived life on this own terms and in own way.  He spent many hours enjoying his first love – the ocean. His life was filled with adventure and his body clearly showed it.  David suffered numerous broken bones over the years enjoying his loves  – motorcycles, water skiing, and fast cars.

He worked as glacier in the glass business for many years.  After he retired, he turned his love of glass into a hobby.  David taught himself the art of stained glass.  His talent was widely sought after by those who wanted his work.

David will be remembered a loving husband and father.  His sons were a wonderful surprise to him when the first son, Patrick, was born when David was 36 years old and two and a half years later when his second son, Timothy, made his appearance.

David is survived by his wife, Evelyn, and sons, Patrick and Timothy.  He is further survived by his mother, Mary J. Blair, sisters, Suzanne Kelly and Joan Barsotti, and brother, John Kelly and nieces and nephews. He was deeply loved by his family

David was preceded in death by his sister, Rosemary, who was eagerly waiting to be reunited with him.  He loved her greatly and now they are together.

Condolences
