Patrick J. Kelly died on January 29th, 2024 peacefully at home at the age of 56.

Patrick was born in Rumson, New Jersey. Growing up he loved to spend time outside fishing or going to the beach and spending time with family. He grew up with family dogs which fostered a lifelong love for animals. He received his bachelor's degree from Eastern University, where he made many friends playing soccer.

He followed his brother Sean to Denver, CO when he was in his late 20s. At this time, he was running marathons and competing in triathlons, enjoying the mountain atmosphere. He also found a love for gardening, growing things like corn and artichokes. A few years later, he welcomed two amazing children, Bea and Hud into the world. During their childhood, Patrick could be found assisting Hud in his most recent Lego creation or coaching Bea's soccer team. He spent summers back in New Jersey with the kids, teaching them how to enjoy the beach life through ice cream, ocean days, and seafood boils. There was nothing he loved more than cooking, sitting down with a good book, or taking the dogs for a walk at Sand Creek, other than of course, his family.

Patrick cherished every day that he had, and was always there to give some advice, or just give a hug when needed. He would want that practice to be continued by his friends and family. He is survived by his kids Beatrix (Bea) and Hudson (Hud), his parents Helen (Mitzi) and Jerry Kelly and his siblings Sean, JC, and Sharon, and all of their kids. He is also survived by his loving dogs Rosebud and Drago, who never left his side.

A memorial service for him will be held at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, March 5th, 2024 at Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church, 1980 Dahlia St. Denver, CO 80220.

He will be missed.
