Castleton, Kelly Kelly Castleton On June 3rd we learned of the loss of a beloved father, friend and band mate. Kelly leaves behind his daughter, whom he lived his life for and loved very much. He also leaves behind a long list of friends and loved ones. Kelly was the owner/operator of Precision Striping. He striped many commercial parking lots along the Wasatch Front. Kelly was a talented musician. He was a competent guitarist and keyboard player. He also had a beautiful singing voice. Kelly was always eager and willing to fill in on guitar or keyboard for anyone who asked and had the talent to do so with minimal effort. He will be greatly missed by the local music community. Kelly, we cannot find words to express our sorrow. To compress you life, your talent and your love for others into a few simple words does not do you justice. But, it is important for us to let those who may read this know just how much we loved you. - Your Mates A service will be held Tuesday, June 7th, at 11 a.m. at Myers Mortuary, 845 Washington Blvd., Ogden, UT 84404.
