BRUCE WALSINGHAM KELSEY

1955 – 2017

Bruce W. Kelsey passed away on March 6, 2017 in Stockton. He was 61. Bruce was born in Walla Walla, Washington on August 25, 1955 to Frank and Shirley Kelsey. He has lived the last 22 years in Lodi and worked as a restaurant location auditor.

Bruce brought a unique energy, love, and sense of calm to life. His sense of humor kept you on your toes and always left you smiling. He enjoyed watching all sports; especially the Giants, 49ers, Seahawks and Kings. He played golf when he could, was an avid reader, and treasured spending time in Sun River, Oregon.

He is survived by his loving wife of 35 years Jill Kelsey of Lodi; children: Brandon Kelsey (Michelle) of Santa Rosa, Kristin Hust (Ryan) of St. Charles, IL; grandchildren: Jacob, Cooper, Paisley, Reagan, Kyleigh, Rylan; a sister, Margaret Clarno (Barry) of Gig Harbor, WA; and a brother, Houston Taylor of Shaw Island, WA. Bruce was preceded in death by his father Frank (Jane), his mother Shirley Viloudaki (Bill) and a sister Jean Kelsey.
