He was preceded in death by his wife, Susan Lee Davidson Remling, who he was married to and loved deeply for over 35 years.

Kelly was born on a farm near Springfield, Colorado on August 22 nd , 1944, to Roy Raymond Remling and Flora Lavaun Cottrell, who preceded him in death. He graduated from Springfield High School in 1962 and earned a bachelor's degree in business from CSU Pueblo.  Kelly spent the majority of his career as an insurance agent with the Farmers Insurance Group in Colorado Springs, where he thoroughly enjoyed working with and becoming friends with his clients.

Kelly loved fishing, hunting, golfing, spending time with his family, going to all his kids’ sporting events, watching his grandchildren grow, listening to classic country, watching the History Channel and reading (he loved a good sci-fi book).  Some of his favorite memories were of the many trips he spent white water rafting through the Black Canyon on the Gunnison River with great friends and family. He had a great sense of humor and you could always count on him for a silly joke or one liner (both good and bad).  Kelly made the world a better (and funnier) place and will be greatly missed by many.

His memorial service will be held by Maltbie Funeral Service (265 W. 8 th Avenue, Springfield, CO) at the First United Methodist Church in Springfield, Colorado (901 Colorado St.), on January 15 th , 2022, at 11:00 a.m.  Afterwards, there will be a burial service at Springfield Cemetery followed by a dinner at the church.
