Dexter was known for leading with integrity and grace, his sense of humor was above and beyond. Most importantly outwardly living his faith in Jesus Christ. He lived a life defined by hard work, loyalty, and love for his family and friends, especially those that worked with him. Dexter left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

He is survived by his son, Jeremiah (Katie) Kelly of Park City, KS; his two grandchildren, Gavin Kelly and Savannah Kelly; his sister, Karen (Kelly) Elliott of Lees Summit, MO; and many nieces and nephews who loved Dexter just as much.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Sharon (Sherry) Kelly; his parents, James B. and Delores Juanelle Kelly; and his twin brothers, E. Floyd and J. Lloyd Kelly.

Dexter found joy in driving his grandchildren around to anything they had planned for him on any given day, and being the lead cheerleader for all their activities. Dexter will be deeply missed, and his legacy will always be carried with those who knew him.
