Timothy Scott Kelly was born November 11, 1959, in Miami, Florida, to Melvin Deverle Kelly and Roberta Hale Kelly.  He attended Palmetto Sr. High School.  Timothy served proudly in the United States Coast Guard. If you knew Tim, he was always cracking jokes and loved to make people laugh. He has a wide collection of music, which was one of his passions. His favorite football team was the Miami Hurricanes. Tim had a great respect for those who serve. He would often tell those in active duty, police officers, and ambulance workers, thank you for serving. He was a true gentleman and showed his love through his actions. Tim was always opening the door for others and held highly putting women first. He loved his wife Caroline with every fiber of his heart. Everything he did revolved around her happiness. He would give you the shirt off his back because he was a giver and he gave BIG. Tim worked in the Maintenance Department for Bainbridge State College for eight years. He made many friends throughout his journey there. He will be missed by so many.
