Obituary of Michael Andrew Kelsey

Kelsey, Michael Andrew

Passed away at home surrounded by family and friends on May 16^th, 2026. 

Mike is survived by his mom Irma, his wife Brenda, and his dog Charlie. He will be dearly missed by his extended family and friends.

Mike loved his Bernese Mountain dogs and was a wonderful foster. When a special needs dog came into his care, we knew we had a new addition to the pack.

One of Mike's favorite pass times were BBQing for his family and friends, wearing the apron he had been gifted. He also enjoyed spending summer time cruising on the boat listening to Pink Floyd.

Mike battled for two years because, as everyone knows, he never wants to say goodbye.  An amazingly strong man. When asked if friends and family had a word to describe him, they said:

Loyal, positive, legendary, heartfelt, benevolent, chatty, entertaining, compassionate, loving, and so generous. 

He had an amazing sense of humor that stayed with him right to the end. His sparkling smile, humor, and his endless stories will be forever missed!
