Boyd Kelly James, 81 years of age, passed away on the 15th of January 2025 in Florida

Kelly was born the 14th of January 1944. He was the oldest child of Jess James and Beth Keller James. He grew up with his younger sister, Ellen, on a ranch in Park Valley Utah.

After graduating from Bear River High School he served in the military with the Utah National Guard.

Kelly had a free spirit. He loved people and he loved to have a good time. He enjoyed life to the fullest and was fun to be around. Seldom if ever did he have a bad day.

Because Kelly was charming, good looking and a risk taker he excelled as a salesman. He could sell almost anything to anyone and did. His chosen profession took him all over the United States. He was never without a job, but was always ready to try something different.

In his latter years he loved living in Florida and loved Spending time sailing. Because of his passion for the ocean he will be cremated and ashes scattered at sea.
