www.legacy.com

ODESSA – Jay J. Kelly left us on April 15th, 2022 and our lives are less bright as a result of it. At the same time, we are encouraged by his example of a life well-lived. A native Odessan, Jay Jerome ("Butcher") Kelly was born at the family home on a rainy August 8, 1932. He was the youngest of four children born to Garland ("Son") Kelly and Dewey Kelly.

Jay grew up in Odessa and graduated from Odessa High School in 1951. While at Odessa High School, he excelled at football, baseball, and track. His track team won three consecutive state …

… Always open to new things, Jay and Georgia became avid skiers, tennis players, runners, and cyclists. They skied much of the Rocky Mountains and had one memorable trip skiing the Swiss Alps. They also took cycling trips throughout the United States, often logging hundred-mile days. Jay held particularly fond memories of rafting trips in the canyons of Big Bend and mountain biking in the Copper Canyons of Mexico and the high deserts of Colorado and Utah. Jay had a host of cycling buddies and was able to continue riding well into his eighties. He and Georgia were founding members of the Permian Basin Bicycle Association.

Syan Rhodes | www.click2houston.com

On April 13, the cyclist said he was at the intersection of X Street and Georgia Avenue around …
