I was lucky to have both Kelly and Cody as students in middle school, and I was so very saddened to hear of the recent loss of Kelly.

Kelly was such a source of life and energy on Team Y in seventh grade. I will never forget his guitar performance of the National Anthem at the talent show that year. 

Much love to you all as you navigate this sorrow in the months to come.

I’m sincerely sorry for your loss. We were friends as children.  I know there’s nothing I can say to relieve the pain that comes from grief.  Dan and Penny, please accept my condolences and know that you and your grandchildren will be in my prayers.

Staples Family:
I knew Kelly from working with him at Stevenson.  Kelly always greeted me with a smile and a high- five. As dealership life goes people move around and I hadn't seen Kelly for several years and then one day I ran into Kelly when he was out at Team Chevy and I was out there getting service done, Kelly stopped in his tracks when he saw me and then greeted me with a "Hey Cheryl" and a high-five. 

Last Wednesday when I read the news of Kelly's accident I was in disbelief.  I went to talk to one of my current Managers at CarolinaEast and shockingly he and his young daughter were the second on the scene of the accident.  Please know that Cisco and Ryley would have done anything they possibly could have to keep Kelly here with you.

Your family has been and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers as well as in Cisco and Ryley's thoughts and prayers.

Kelly was like my second son when growing up with my son shawn to young he was a great person he will be missed

A photo almost as colorful and bright as your personality

I’ll miss you padre, I hope you finally found some peace

4 generations in one photograph, not many people get to experience that, I’m glad you were there for my graduation Dad, and to everyone who attended.

You always had the most positive attitude.  You saw the good in people and brought out the best in people with your leadership. Your sense of humor could light up a room.  I will always remember the cars we sold, the beers we shared, the rounds of golf, Topsail, Madden, your guitar sessions. You were so proud of your daughters. I will miss you brother.

My heart hurts for your family and you are in my prayers and thoughts. Ive tried to purchase a candle several times but the link isn't working so I offer my love

Kelly was a musician. He found beauty in ALL kinds of music. I can remember some of his favorites and thinking it was funny when he switched the words to Outkast's 'Mrs. JACKSON' to 'Im sorry Mrs. BAUMAN.'  I mostly know Kelly with Bre. Life with Bre and Kelly was unique. They taught me what it was to be accepting, to be free and to love. I saw Kelly and his true independent self through everything he did. He liked fast cars and guitars and everything music. He was a philosopher. I appreciated his stories and what he thought about life. No-thing stopped him which is the ultimate of living. But that was him. He had tenacity! I believe his most precious gift was passed on to his girls.  They are the perfect combination of two beautiful people.  To Maya Staples and Melia Morgan  and Breanna Staples and Penny Lingle Staples. May the memories we hold be good, may know pain so that we can teach love. Forever in our hearts, Kelly!

Went to school with Kelly such sad news prayers to the family and his wife and kids so so sad

I have many fond memories of Kelly. We have shared many laughs and I feel privileged to have grown up with him. In our adult lives as it tends to happen- we were not as close. We begin to live our lives to build for our children and ourselves. No matter the time- we always picked up right where we left off- laughing. 
My favorite memories were watching him lose himself in his talent of playing the guitar. Something about music brings all kinds of people together- I watched that happen. I watched him relish on the stage, in a garage and with friends. I’ve never seen someone so talented yet so humble in his talent. It was a pleasure my friend may angels lead you in ❤️

Kelly will be truly missed.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

My sincerest condolences to all of Kelly’s family. My husband Ray had the pleasure of working with Kelly for a few years at Toyota and through that becoming a dear friend. Kelly was a man who never met a stranger and never thought he was “above” anyone. His kind and caring nature is one that I wish would be more present in the world today. 
Ray and I will definitely keep all of Kelly’s family in thought and prayer.  This world is a bit darker today without the light and caring nature Kelly possessed but, I know all of us that knew him will continue to show that light and caring in his memory.

I have sweet memories of Kelly through the years. I remember when he would come over and play video games with Curt. I always thought he was so cool, he knew how to beat my favorite game, then I could play all the places. I enjoyed the years I got to visit with him in North Carolina or when he would come back to PA. He was so full of life and made everything fun for all of us. I remember cooking with him and calling him about how he makes wings. I always admired the love he had for his jobs and how hard he worked. Kelly could bring lightness to any situation. Although I didn't see him often, the lightness he gave will be missed.
