John Stirling Kelly has found peace. His soul rests with those who have gone before him. His father, John Stirling Kelly Sr., his brother Gary, and sister-in-law Jane. John is survived by his daughters Jade (Bailey), Jenna, and their mother Josie. He also leaves to mourn, his mother Anne, sister Marie (Randy) and brothers, Brian, Brent (Dianne) and Stephen.
John was born and raised in Victoria and followed his father’s career path. He was a proud boilermaker, working at Yarrows Shipyard for 31 years. John’s sense of humour enlightened many friends and family and will remain as a source of comfort in the memories of all that had the pleasure of knowing him.
A small private family service will be held in the upcoming days. Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Kelly Family, May you find comfort in God’s promise at Revelation 21:3,4.
“God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their
eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain
be anymore. The former things has passed away.”
