He graduated from Revere High School with the class of 1999. Kelly worked at The Cage restaurant in Ovid for several years before going to work at D&L. Kelly's favorite thing to do was go fishing, especially in the North Platte River. He enjoyed a variety of music and generally felt that it wasn't worth playing if it wasn't turned up loud.

Survivors include his mother, Christina of Julesburg; siblings, Eric Hill of Sterling, Tammy Hill of Ogallala, and Tina Zajec of Big Springs; nieces and nephews, Holly, Timothy, Jonathon, Dee, Kaylee, Wade, Leola, Gabriel, Michael, Carson, and Jaxson; uncles, Eric (Catherine) Vath of Lincoln, James (Dolly) Vath of Big Springs; aunt, Julia (Michael) Everitt of Big Springs; along with many other relatives and friends.
