Kelton was my first friend I ever made out here when I moved to Utah 8 months ago. He loved sharing stories of his travels and had an awsome sense of humor! He was very generos guy and even though we hadn't known each other long, he let me borrow his Xbox for a couple weeks since I didnt have one. I will miss his friendship greatly. All my thoughts and prayers for the Duffy family on this difficult time. We'll miss you Kelton.
I worked with Kelton at Provo Canyon School and he was a friend. I will miss his friendship! My condolences to his family members.
Sherry,
I'm so sorry to hear about Kelton. I grew up with you. Kelton's birthday is the day after my oldest son. He really has a great smile. This is great that there is a place to share memories. My second son passed away 8 mos. ago. I feel the heartache a mother feels and didn't know was possible. I hope you'll write down what you can right now. The little things that happen every day will be enormous later. Please know you're loved. I remember your sweet and sassy self in the neighborhood. I appreciate your efforts and kindness toward me way back then. I hope you feel the peace you so deserve right now.
I grew up with Kelton and I have many memories with him from elementary school to the time we graduated from high school. He was funny and a little reclusive but he was almost always around when we did things and made any activity we did funner. Two of the main things that I remember about Kelton was that:
1. He was funny and was a great impressionist. In third grade we had a teacher whose eyes bulged out when she got angry and no one did a better impression of her than Kelton. That talent to make us laugh followed him as far as I could remember.
2. Kelton was hard working. I don't remember Kelton always being that way but later on in high school he decided he wanted to start playing basketball. I don't know what spurred that decision for him because I don't remember him being a member of the basketball team before that, but he decided he wanted to make the cut later on in high school. Kelton was tall and athletic, but since he didn't grow up playing basketball as much of the other players on the team, it meant he had to put in extra work to develop his talent. Some of us used to hang out in the gym after gym pretty often in high school and I always remember Kelton in the gym doing drills and trying to improve in little areas so he could become a better basketball player. The same was true of him in the gym. He was tall and skinny growing up, but when he put his mind in to working out, he got incredibly strong fast. I was always impressed at how hard working Kelton was when he put his mind to it.
While I lost contact with Kelton and many of my other friends from high school after graduating, I still remember Kelton and his influence on me. He was a good man and was a part of what shaped me into who I am today. I will miss him.
I pray for peace, happiness, happy memories, and none of the pain for the rest of the Duffy family. You raised a beautiful boy and I hope you remember him as such.
