Brandon Lane Kelley- a loving husband, father, son and friend- passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 11, 2019 at his home in Denton, TX. He was 34 years old. He was born August 25, 1984 in Galveston, TX to his young mother Trina Kelley Riley. Brandon and Trina soon moved in with his loving grandparents Patricia and Quinton Kelley who raised him as their own and whom he called mom and dad.
He graduated from Permian High School in 2002. Soon after at 19 he met the love of his life, Bess Kelley. They were married at Belmont Baptist Church on March 18, 2005.
Brandon succeeded in his goal in life, to provide for his wife, and children. Brandon was a skilled phlebotomist, and worked at Odessa Regional, and Medical Center Hospital in Odessa. He was also a laboratory technician at Lab Corp. He was a successful entrepreneur and together with his wife Bess owned, and operated "Kelley's Mobile Wash", in Denton, TX. Brandon turned his passion for fast cars, motorcycles, and restoring and preserving them into the family business. He truly enjoyed seeing the joy on his client's faces by providing the best possible care for their vehicles. He took pride in his work and strived for perfection in all things including his detailing. Their company was well known in the DFW area even winning Best of Denton County in 2017 and 2018. He was also employed as a full time phlebotomist at Clinical Pathology Laboratories where he was loved by all his coworkers and patients.
Brandon and Bess were best friends, soulmates, a model couple, always together. A loving and doting father he affectionately referred to his children as Myson (Bryson), Baby love (Brylee) and Bitty Baby (Brynna). His family was truly his pride and joy. He volunteered to coach their teams and never missed their events. Second only to Bess and their children was Brandon's mother Pat. They had a special bond and mutual love for each other. He enjoyed all children, playing with them on their level. He was a kid at heart always teasing nieces, nephews, friends and even his younger brother and sister in-laws. Brandon had a bellowing voice and always made an entrance, the life of any gathering. He built up others and demonstrated forgiveness. He genuinely cared about the struggles of friends and family and not only offered solutions and assistance, he followed up later and checked in to see how things worked out. He never met a stranger, made us all laugh and was loved by all who met him.
He was a lover of all genres of music. Through that passion he was led to Rock the Desert, a Christian Rock Festival, where he accepted Christ in 2008. We miss Brandon terribly and are heartbroken to lose him so suddenly but we have peace knowing we will all meet again in heaven.
