We are gathered here today to mourn the passing of Kelly Belcher, who left us on September 23, 2024, at the young age of 38. Kelly was born on June 13, 1986, in Zion, Illinois, to his loving parents Samuel Nunley and Schelle Varnell.

Kelly was a devoted parent to his 16 children: Kelly Jr, Kelis, Khaniyah, Kelmoni, Kelly, Kelvontae, Kelnari, Kahlia, Keyhion, and Kelmarion. Their family brought them immense joy and chaos, just how they liked it.

They also leaves behind two cherished grandchildren, Ka’Lanii & Nieva whom he adored beyond words.

While Kelly may have been busy raising a small village of children, they still managed to find time for their favorite hobby - Football. They spent countless hours on the field, always giving it their all.

As a graduate of Zion Benton High School, Kelly was a proud Zeebee and always supported their alma mater, even when their children attended rival schools.

Although we are heartbroken by Kelly's departure, we take comfort in knowing that they are reunited with their loved ones who passed before them. We will always remember Kelly's infectious laughter, caring spirit, and unwavering love for their family.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks for donations to be made to the Belcher Family .

Rest in peace, Kelly. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
