Kelly Thompson Jr., 76, of Stanton, Ky. departed this earthly life on April 26, 2025 at his residence.
Kelly Jr. was born on September 2, 1948 to the late Kelly and Dora Napier Thompson.
Kelly Jr. was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He enjoyed hunting, spending time with his family and working on guns in his spare time. He also had a green thumb and enjoyed being outside.
