What an awe inspiring life he led. No matter what he put his hand to he excelled. Firefighter, EMT, chef, computer whiz….
He will be so missed by his family and friends. I remember when he came back from Hawaii. Chris in his little Hawaiian outfit came running in. A child full of energy and love. I will miss him. I am so glad that I got to see him one more time only several weeks ago.
Love you Chris, your oldest cousin, Connie
We were neighbors of Chris Kelco’s for over 25 years. He and Beti are such wonderful friends. One thing we remember about Chris was his kind spirit and always a smile on his face. He was so caring of Beti, especially with the loss of his father. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to do life on Cardiff Court with him. He will be missed.
May the memories of his life be for a blessing.
With deepest sympathy to the Kelco Family
We pray the love of God enfolds you during your journey through grief.
