Kevin Patrick Kelley

Kevin Patrick Kelley, age 76, passed away on December 20, 2025, in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.

Kevin was born in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and built a life defined by love, laughter, curiosity, and deep devotion to his family. He was a proud graduate of Francis Jordan High School (class of 67) and University of Dallas (class of 76). He spent his career as a the most phenomenal National Sales Manager for Luvata, a role that took him around the world. He embraced travel fully—often joking that work meetings were best held on a golf course—and made lasting friendships everywhere he went.

Kevin is survived by his loving spouse, Jeanne Kelley, and his children Shane, Margo, TJ, Kyle, and Colleen.

He was a proud father-in-law to Ryan, Shaun, and Adam, and an adoring grandfather to Hudson, Hayden, Luca, Mila, Liam, Sage, Nolan, Hunter, Beckham, Quentin, and Ezra, each of whom brought him immense joy.

Kevin was reunited in death with his father, Joseph, his mother, Margaret, his brother, Michael, and his sister Meg. He is survived by his siblings Timmy, Sean, and Chip, as well as his dear lifelong friends Gary and the Grantmiester who were like family to him.

Kevin will be remembered as kind, hilarious, hardworking, and endlessly supportive dad extraordinaire. He loved good wine, great food, meaningful conversation, history, politics, music, a perfect sunset, and above all, time spent with his kids and grandchildren. Whether traveling the world or sitting together sharing stories, Kevin had a gift for making moments matter.

Kevin's legacy lives on through the many lives he touched, the stories he told, and the love he gave so freely. As we celebrate this incredible man and the legacy he leaves behind, we encourage you to "keep smiling" as he would want.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Kevin's memory to St. Ben's Community Meal Program in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a cause close to his heart.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated for Kevin at St. Anthony Catholic Church, N74W13604 Appleton Avenue, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin on January 2, 2026, at 1:00 p.m.
