Leo Patrick Kelley, lovingly known to many as Pat, passed away on September 29, 2026, at the age of 73. He was born on November 24, 1952, in Bakersfield, California.

Pat will be remembered as a kind man whose presence brought comfort to those around him. He was an Army veteran, and that service remained an important part of the story of his life. Over the years, he worked with Dalton Heating and Air and Air Comfort. Outside of work, he enjoyed flea marketing, collecting Zippos and Hot Wheels, and spending time doing yard work, simple pleasures that reflected his interests and the way he made a life with care and character.

Above all, Pat’s life was rooted in family. He is survived by his wife, Sandra Kelley; his son, Jacob Kelley; and his stepdaughter, Angelia Stafford. He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren, Mason Kelley, Dakota Kelley, Tristan Stafford, Chase Stafford, and Katelyn Stafford. Each of them was part of the circle of family that meant so much to him, and his memory will remain close in their hearts.

He was preceded in death by his father, Homer Kelley, and his mother, Minnie Carpenter.

Those who knew Pat will remember him for his kindness, his steady way, and the everyday interests that made him uniquely himself. His life touched his family and all who knew him, and he will be deeply missed.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the family of Pat Kelley.

Care of Mr. Kelley has been entrusted to In Their Honor Funeral and Cremation Providers.
