Mark Emerson Kelly

10/27/2019

Passed away suddenly, on Sunday October 27th, 2019 at the age of 61.

Loving father to Brandon Kelly (Jamie), Kyle Kelly, and Bryanna Ruetz (Mike). One of Mark’s greatest joys and his most honoured title was that of “Grandpa” to his five grandchildren; Amelia, Rosie, Grace, Emerson and Scottlyn. Dear son to Larry Kelly. Predeceased by his mother Johanne Kelly (Dunbrook).

Mark worked with Sears for 30 years before retiring in 2012. He was known for his ability to make others laugh and feel at ease. He was a constant comedian and made friends everywhere he went.

Private cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Mark’s life will be held at the Concordia Club, 429 Ottawa St. S. Kitchener on Saturday, November 2nd. A Memorial visitation will take place from 1pm – 2pm, with the Celebration of Life to follow.

Our condolences to Bryanna on the passing of your Dad! He was always a happy guy when we saw him at your games over the years. May he Rest In Peace and may you remember the good times you shared with him.

I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Mark
Although we only met a few times, I know how dearly loved he was by his family. Losing those so close is a difficult journey my thoughts are with all as you grieve his passing

Haven’t seen Mark in over 50 years, I was just thinking of him, remembering his visits and when we were playing together as kids, very sad to hear of his passing, sorry for your loss.

I was very sorry to hear of Marks passing. My partner Dave was a resident of AR Goudie nursing home and because of a stroke he was very difficult to get along with but Mark immediately friended him and the two spent time together talking sports.I will always remember Mark's kindness towards him. My deepest condolences to Mark's family..
