Kelly passed peacefully on June 13, 2020 surrounded by family.
Born November 18, 1958 in San Diego, California to Major Woodrow and Gweneth Kelly Macbeth. Kelly grew up in Salt Lake City and attended Skyline High School. He then served in the US Navy from 1977 to 1983, receiving numerous commendations during his service on the famous USS Forrestal. He was honorably discharged in 1983. He graduated from ITT Technical Institute in 2012 and worked for the Concentrix Corporation. In his free time, he had a passion for his motorcycle and loved playing golf.
Kelly is survived by his brother, Kevin; nephews: Nicholas and Daniel Katris, and niece: Elizabeth Katris. Predeceased by his parents and sister, Sandra Macbeth Katris.
A celebration of life for Kelly will be held on Saturday, June 20th from 10am – 12pm at Larkin Sunset Lawn, 2350 East 1300 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108. Due to COVID-19, gatherings are limited to 20 people at a time; masks are encouraged. Interment: Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Salt Lake City. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the American Cancer Society or the Humane Society in honor of Kelly.
Although we are cousins -- I am the oldest daughter of John and Grace Macbeth -- my remembrances of Kelly are very few. But I can certainly appreciate the loss that is felt by those of the family who are left behind. Even with the hope of seeing our loved ones in the hereafter, the passing of one reminds us of our own mortality. May you find comfort in knowing that you are in the prayers and thoughts of those of us in the extended family. May peace be yours.
Linda Macbeth Westover
