My brother Bobby had the best smile and laugh he loved to joke around and make others laugh... He was a mechanic by profession and often thru the years helped others with their vehicles without pay🙋‍♀️ I have a funny to share... I had this old Hunter desk fan that was beside my bed I had bent down one morning to turn off and ohh my goodness my hair got all tangled in fan motor... It needed a special tool to take apart so Duane tells me call your brother Bobby he’ll have it. So sure enough he came over to rescue me and I answered the door holding the fan with my head next to it... and he never let me forget that.. we laughed and joked about that many times!❤️

My brother Bobby Kelley was a protector. I remember when I was about eight years old me and my cousin Mike Kelley were riding bikes around Sour Lake, when these older boys started picking on us. Mike and I rode back to my house where Bobby just so happened to be. We told him about those older boys picking on us, so he strapped on his big bowie knife and said where are they. He never used the knife but he gave them what for. Needless to say they never bothered us again. Thank you brother, I love you and will miss you very much.

Bobby was always a call away, my sister Donna has very long hair she got too close to the fan and her hair got caught up in the fan and her head just got closer and closer to the fan, she did manage to get the fan turned off needless to say who did she call my brother Bobby. He was there in no time flat and rescued her from the attacking fan. We got a lot of laughs out of that.

Bobby David Kelley was a loving family man, he was a great hunter and a good friend he would drop everything and come in your time of need one late Christmas Eve I was broke down called him and he was there real fast. Cannot say enough about him. He will be truly missed by all that knew him.

When I was a little girl my brother Bobby had been staying out of town, when he came home he brought me a pink poodle transistor radio. It was like him to think of others.
