Bobby Dean "Bob" Kelley, 84, of Wichita, Kansas, passed away peacefully of natural causes on January 25, 2026, surrounded by loved ones. Born on June 7, 1941, in Hardy, Arkansas, Bob lived a full and joyful life defined by hard work, laughter, and deep devotion to his family and
faith.

On February 8, 1965, Bob married the love of his life, Georgia, beginning a union that lasted over 60 years and yielded a lifetime of memories. A proud barber for more than 55 years, Bob served his community with a ready smile and an endless collection of stories. He retired in 2021, though his love for people and conversation never faded.

Bob's outgoing spirit and easy humor were his trademarks—he could make anyone feel welcome, and his laughter often filled the room. In his younger years, he enjoyed playing volleyball and, throughout his life, took pride in staying active, working in his yard, and making sure the family car was always freshly washed!

Bob was a devoted member of Riverlawn Christian Church, where his faith guided his life and relationships. He is survived by his beloved wife, Georgia, daughters Dawn Berruecos (Alex, deceased) and Kimberly Roberts (Billy), son Jason Kelley (Ashley), along with 10 Grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and two Great-Great Grandchildren.

A service honoring Bob's life will be held on February 5, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at Riverlawn Christian Church.
