Robert Allen Kelly

Robert Allen Kelly, 60, beloved father and friend, left his earthly home on March 12th, 2026. He was born on April 7th 1965 in Columbus Ohio to the late Dwayne and Phyllis Kelly. Robert leaves a lifetime of memories with his children Russell Kelly of Lexington, Cynthia "Cindi" Perkins (Mark) of Nicholasville, Tiffany Maynard (Bryan) of Lexington, his adopted son George Jones (Marissa) of Nicholasville, his stepson Austin Bowman of Dry Ridge and stepdaughter Allison McEntire. He also leaves the mother of his three kids Tammy Jones and a life partner Kristina "Kristy" McEntire. In addition, He is survived by his older brothers Larry Kelly (Brenda), Mike Kelly (Kristy) and Richard Kelly (Geneva) and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, sister Patrica Kelly, brother Steve Kelly and sister- in- law Debra Kelly. Robert was an adventurous man who left love a loyalty in his wake. You could always find him as the life of the party at the grill and was always the first to show up for an emergency. When not at work you would find him working on vehicles or sitting by his fire pit with his beloved dog Rueger "Rue". He was a jack of all trades and could always be found with his family and many friends. A small service will be held from 1-5pm on Tuesday March 17th for family and friends at Hager and Cundiff Funeral Home, Nicholasville, Ky. This obituary was lovingly submitted by the Kelly family. “Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories.” All arrangements are under the careful direction of Hager and Cundiff Funeral Home, and we would like to express our deepest sympathy to the Kelly family and friends.
