"Our dearest Kelley passed early this morning, peacefully at home. He returned home last Wednesday, so very happy to be out of the hospital and back home. Marguerite was by his side, as she has been from the beginning. The family asks for solitude and will announce a memorial to celebrate Kelley at a later date. In lieu of flowers, an account will be set up at the Western St. branch of Washington Mutual to raise funds for a bench in a Sonoma County park. Peace and much love to Kelley's immediate family and wide group of friends and fellow artists. Your caring thoughts and words sustained Kelley throughout his illness." (from his caring bridge page)

Kelley was a gentleman, progenitor and innovator to event posters as an art form and a consummate artist. Had one of the best 4 hours of my life listening to his and Wavy Gravy's war stories while we signed a huge stack of Seva Foundation 25th anniversary concert posters that Kelley and I had worked on.

Happy trails Kelley and thanks for paving the way for all of us young upstarts.
