The family of Timothy Wayne Kelly has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in the services of their loved one. We will be honored to do so.
Timothy Kelly was born in Los Angeles and lived there his entire life with the exception of the time spent in the USMC. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1967-1970. During his service he spent 1 year, 5 months and 14 days in Vietnam. He was promoted to SGT (E-5) and earned the National Defense Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, The Vietnam Campaign Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. He was wounded and received the Purple Heart.
While in Vietnam he was also exposed to Agent Orange which is attributed to the cancer that took his life.
When Timothy returned stateside, he worked at Warner Brothers Studios in film distribution for 20 years.
He is survived by his mother, 94 years of age, 2 brothers and their wives.
