Joseph A. Kelley, Age 29 of Harris Minnesota passed away in a tragic accident November 6, 2013. Joes’ love for family, friends, co-workers and even strangers was evident by the way he treated all with the utmost respect and compassion. His zest and love for life kept him moving and unable to stay in one place for long. Joe lived life to the fullest, loved with all his heart and had compassion for all. His friends came from all walks of life without being judged or criticized. If all of us could be so humble; wouldn’t this world be a better place to live.
Taking his 1984 Ford Mustang out of storage in the spring left him giddy & ready for car runs during the summer. His life was too short but he lived life fast and furious. He will be so, so, missed! God must have a special plan for Joe Joe Bear “JJB” to have taken him so much sooner than we all expected.
Joe was preceded in death by his father Robert Kelley, grandmother Caroline Mach Slotness, uncle Wayne Freedlund, aunt Lynn Kelley and great uncle Bob Mach. He is survived by his grandfather Alvin Mach, grandparents Joe & Patricia Kelley, mother Carol Raymond, brothers Sheldon Lund & Robert Kelley, uncle & aunt Steve & Janet Freedlund, cousins: Christina Arrell and Dean Billman and their children Steven Arrell & Quinten Billman, cousin Amy & Matt Senholtz and their children Savannah & Adam; cousin Jake & Hailey Freedlund and their daughter Ellie, aunt Julie Mach, cousin Jennifer Johnson, uncle Robert Mach, uncle & aunt Larry & Vickie Freedlund, cousins Tabatha Pearson, Jenna Freedlund, uncle Lee Freedlund, uncle & aunt Jeff & Debbie Freedlund, cousins: Scott, Jeremy, Joshua & Nathan Freedlund, great aunt Margie Mach.
