Keith Patrick Kelley, age 52, formerly of Monroe, LA, died Saturday, September 
12, 2015 at St. John Medical Center in Tulsa, OK as a result of injuries 
sustained in a cycling accident on September 5, 2015. He was preceded in death 
by his father, Herman L. Kelley, Jr. and a brother Clay D. Kelley, both of 
Bunkie, LA.

Keith is survived by his wife, Jonna Helton Kelley and two daughters, Hannah 
Claire Kelley and Anne Marie Kelley of Tulsa; his mother, Genevieve G. Kelley 
of Alexandria, LA and brother, Kirk A. Kelley of Knoxville, TN.

He grew up in Bunkie, LA and graduated from St. Joseph High School, in

Keith was a noted triathlete, cyclist and marathon runner and was passionate
