The resolution reflects on Mr. Kelley's legacy of integrity, compassion, and dedication, both in his professional and personal life. He is survived by his daughter, mother, companion, and niece, and is remembered for his strong family values. The General Assembly expresses its condolences to Mr. Kelley's family and acknowledges the impact he had on the lives of those around him, urging members to pause and reflect on his exemplary character and commitment to public service.
