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.<\/p>\n

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 …<\/p>\n

… 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. He mentored many young cyclists and was always the guy they wanted to ride like when they were his age. …<\/p>\n
