He faithfully carried out his duties and made certain that everything was in place for worship. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Eugene, Edward Jr., and Leroy Kellam.

There is so much I can say but I know that space will not allow it all! I'm going to miss cousin Jerry and how we planned the Kellam Reunions every year! Jerry was always nice. He also taught me that sometimes all we have is God and family! He was the historian of the family as he would give us a detailed lineage of our family each year! I promise to continue to do my part in keeping the Kellam's connected! Until we meet again! Love cousin Trivinia Kellam Hairston "Puffy"
