Keith Allen Kelly, born July 11, 1958, in Houston, Texas, was beloved son of the late James and Johnie Mae Kelly. One of ten siblings, Keith was raised and educated in the Houston Independent School District and proudly graduated from E.E. Worthing High School in 1976.

In his leisure, Keith found joy in listening to old-school R&B and rock music. He was a devoted Pittsburgh Steelers fan, rarely missing a game, and he loved settling in to watch classic Westerns. Known for his loyalty and warmth, Keith was a cherished uncle, brother, and friend to many.

Keith was preceded in death by his parents, James and Johnie Mae Kelly, and his siblings Freda, June, Skeeter, Dell, Yvonne, and Pearl.

He leaves to cherish his memory his niece, Kimberly Kelly-Pryor (Andrew); his brother, Bob Kelly; his sisters, Eunice Telsee (Terry) and Dorothea Harris (Roderick); along with a host of nieces, nephews, family members and friends who will forever hold him in their hearts.
