KELLY, James Timothy

James Kelly, 60, of Dawsonville, Georgia passed away Sunday, October 31, 2021 at Northeast Georgia Medical Center following a sudden illness.

James was born December 10, 1960 in Jacksonville, Florida, where he lived for 38 years until moving to Dawsonville, Georgia 21 years ago.

James was a man that loved God and that God loved. He accepted Jesus Christ as his savior at a young age and spent the rest of his life doing his best to show others Christ’s love. There was never a room you didn’t know James was in. There was never a place he could go that he didn’t know someone. He loved people and never forgot a face. He made life fun and interesting. He was a hard worker that loved his work. But he would tell you that it was all because of Jesus.

He was preceded in death by his son, Calvin Kelly; his parents, James Thomas Kelly and Marjorie Kelly; and his father in law, Gus Moore.

He is survived by his wife, Linda Moore Kelly, that he loved with his whole heart; his daughter and son in law, Elisabeth Kelly McKague and Joshua McKague; his son and daughter in law, Joshua Kelly and Brandy Underwood Kelly; his grandchildren, Mathias McKague, Esther McKague, and MacKenzie Kelly; his sister and brother in law Darlene Kelly Harvey and Arthur Harvey of Jacksonville, FL; his sister and brother in law, Judy Kelly Jones and Steve Jones; numerous other relatives; and friends he called family.
