Kelly was the pro at Bittersweet when I lived North and was an instant buddy. That was 1994? I had the chance to play golf with him while he was in Austin for business last year and it was great to catch up. The Titleist rep even joined us for lunch, who also knew Kelly from his time in Illinois. He was always smiling, always upbeat and had an infectious personality. My heart and prayers go out to his wife and children. He was one of the all around good guys.

Leanne, Max, Shayne, Mitchell,
Words can't express my sympathy. Such a beautiful service and celebration of his life. He was such a unique person and role model for you all.
I know he will always be with you in spirit and hoping that brings you comfort with the passing days. He will also be with you in Santa Barbara this week. So glad you will all be there together.
Sincerely. Sharon Casey

My sisters and I spent many summer days enjoying the company of the Holmes family around their swimming pool. Kelly was closest to our age so was always our special favourite. We took turns off the diving board and dove for coins the bottom of the pool, while our dads smoked cigars on the deck. Kelly was always so full of energy and had a smile for everyone. He will always be "forever young" in our hearts! The "Rossi girls" - Carla, Lauren & Sharon

Dear Leanne and Family,
We are so sad to hear about Kelly. I will always remember the weekend we spent at my Father in laws farm in Galena. We played a dice game each night till late and on every roll of the dice what ever two numbers came up on the dice Kelly would yell out a NHLhockey player name that matched that number. He never missed a roll for two nights. He had us laughing so hard. Great memories. He will be so very missed. What a special man to us both. We are blessed to have known him.
Our deepest condolences.
Love,
Kevin & Barri Marion

My thoughts are with all the Holmes family. I knew Kelly since we were ten years old playing in NIMAGA golf tournaments. We became friends and both became golf professionals. I have always been honored to call Kelly my friend and colleague. He had such a relaxed, cool, friendly personality that was magnetic. I will miss him for the rest of my life.
My deepest sympathies to you all.
Love,
