George Robert Kelly Jr.

March 10, 1938 - January 12, 2022

George Robert Kelly Jr entered peacefully into eternal rest, after a prolonged illness, on Wednesday, January 12, 2022. He died at his daughter’s home in Summerville, surrounded by family. Born on the family homestead at Carlisle, Wyoming, March 10th, 1938, George later moved with his family to Mills, WY. He recently relocated to South Carolina for health reasons, but always considered Wyoming home. He loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman throughout his life. George was an expert heavy equipment mechanic and worked in the mines of Wyoming. George is survived by his wife of sixty-two years, Sharon Kelly, his daughter Connie Epperson, son-in-law Tom Epperson, grandchildren Bill Epperson, Kelly and Margie Epperson, and four great-grandchildren, Nathan, Kaitlyn, Sarah, and Lily. George was preceded in death by his father George Sr, mother Blanche, brothers Bill and Paul, his sister Carolyn, and nephew Jerry. Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated at St. John the Beloved Catholic Church in Summerville, South Carolina at 11:30am on Wednesday, January 26th, 2022. In lieu of flowers, cards to the family will be appreciated. George’s ashes will be interred at the family cemetery near Devil’s Tower, WY. The family thanks the many friends and family members who have offered support, condolences and prayers. People who knew George count him among the finest of men. We will forever remember him as a selfless, forgiving man of impeccable character. During his long, difficult illness, he was always thinking of others and never complained. We rejoice knowing he has gone to his Creator, washed in the blood of Christ, joyfully reunited with friends and loved ones.
