Patrick K. Kelly, 61, of Atkinson Street, passed away on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at home surrounded by his family after a short illness. Pat was born on April 28, 1962, in Bellows Falls to Maurice and Loretta (Brooks) Kelly. He attended schools in Bellows Falls, graduating from BFUHS in 1980.

Pat worked as a plumber in the Bellows Falls area for almost 40 years. In July 1996, he married Bridget (Stevens) who survives. His much-loved children, Hannah and Ryan, were his pride and joy. He is also survived by his sister, Kathleen Kelly, nephews, Connor (Jessica), and Hunter, and his brother, Brian Kelly (Darlene), and nephew, Brendan, and nieces, Molly and Meagan, as well as several cousins who he enjoyed spending time with along with his mother-in-law, Margaret. He was predeceased by his parents.

Pat always had a big hug and kiss for everyone. He treasured his friendships and his Friday afternoon “marketing” time with them. He enjoyed family vacations especially their trip to Ireland, sharing with Hannah and Ryan their Irish heritage.

Pat was a long-time fan of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football and Boston Bruins hockey. He loved sharing that passion with his family and friends. He was a member of the Pierce Lawton Post 37 American Legion and BPOE Elks #1619.
