Welcome!
When I reached out to ask people if they would like to write something for my Dad on his birthday most people didn’t respond by saying, “yes.” They responded by saying “Yes!” or “Yes, of course!” One individual went so far as to respond with a “Heck Yes!” Others said, “I’d…

Kevin is THE REASON I have the career I do today. Not only was he an encouraging teacher and generous mentor during my time at BYU, but he also put my portfolio in front of Graceann Bennett, the Director of Brand Planning at Ogilvy Chicago (and my first boss). Breaking into planning…

Kevin Kelly is someone that I would trust with anything. He is talented, persistent and humble. He is basically everything that I want to be when I retire. It's hard for me to get to know my professors, so I never really met a professor who took an interest in my life…

Kevin, happy birthday and congratulations on your retirement. I’m happy for you. And I’m very thankful for you and Khaliel – and your beautiful family. Looking back on our moving to New York it was such a gift to be introduced you and Khaliel by Terri Petersen. I will never…

Dear Kevin, Congratulations on your Retirement and Happy Happy Birthday to you! What a wonderful career and life! I am so thankful for our dear friendship and eternal family connection to you. You have always been a blessing to our family. Serving under your leadership in the Westchester Ward was…

I had no idea that Kevin was retiring this year, the program won’t be the same without him. One of the things that sticks out about Kevin is how happy and encouraging he always was. Even when he gives critiques of work, you feel good and excited to do better.…

Message from Chas Kelly: I recently taught my girls one of the Primary songs that Kevin composed while serving as the Primary Chorister in the Westchester Ward. (And I was in Primary when he taught it to all us kiddos.) It’s called “Fear Not Little Flock.” It’s become a wonderful…

As you can see in this picture, we all wanted to grow up to be just like Kevin and be “Kevin’s Copycats”. He was my biggest mentor in the Advertising program at BYU. I knew he cared about me and my progression. He would take time to meet with me,…

Kevin Kelly was most definitely my favorite professor at BYU (I know I am far from alone in that sentiment), but my favorite memories with him involved time spent with both him and his wife outside of the classroom. A few years ago, my little family and I dropped in on…

Congratulations on these wonderful life milestones, Kevin! Achievements in life are great, but of far greater importance is the person we are, and become, through the myriad of experiences on life’s most unexpected and surprising journey. And Kevin Kelly, you are truly a most extraordinary and wonderful soul! What a…
