I knew Kelly’s Mom before him, but knew him from before he worked for our Department. I consider myself lucky to have been his Captain as he started as a Corrections Officer. Kelly was a good soul who did his best no matter the task. He was proud of his position. We have lost a good man. May his spirit be reunited with his sister and his family find peace in this tragedy. Many prayers for his family, blood and corrections alike.
