Michael Kelley1956December 19, 2016Michael "Mike" Gene Kelley passed away peacefully at his long time Reno home on Monday, December 19, 2016. Mike was with wife Linda when he passed. Mike retired from CB Concrete in 2009 as a mixer driver after 30 dedicated years of service. Those 30 years included building Kingsbury Grade, Silver Legacy, and multiple extension to the Reno-Tahoe International Airport to name a few. Mike was also a union Shop Steward for 14 years with CB. If concrete was needed, you can bet Mike was involved in one way or another. Mike was known to family and friends for his BBQ smoking talents which included the simplest meals to extravagant Thanksgiving feasts. He was an honest, compassionate man who helped friends, family, and strangers alike any time a need came up. Fishing and outdoors were second nature to Mike which he loved sharing with family and friends. Now the squirrels and Mike are another story. You can call this a love hate relationship with the squirrels battling Mike for garden and garage space. Though he fought bravely, Mike lost most squirrel battles.Mike will be truly missed, but always loved and respected by his friends and family. He was preceded in death by his mother, Shirley; father, Donald; and brother, Russell.Michael is survived by his loving wife, Linda of nearly 43 years, sister Kathleen, sons Robert and Jon, daughter-in-law Christina and Lana, grandsons Taylor (Marena) and Austin, great grandson, Melvin who was born on Mike's last birthday, and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.No memorial service will be held per Mike's wishes.
