He was born on August 9, 1951 in Placerville, California to the late Cecil
and Dorothy (Wiggs) Kelley and moved to Dewey, Oklahoma, when he was young.
At the age of 17, Danny enlisted in the US Marines Corp where he proudly
served during the Vietnam War. Upon his return to Dewey, he was a member of
the James E. Bailey VFW Post 989 in Bartlesville.
Danny was a devoted father (aka, Daddy / Poppy / Pops), Grandfather (“PaPa”)
and friend. He worked for Reda Pump (Bartlesville) and then went into Civil
Service at Tinker Air Force Base (OK), Naval Weapons Station (SC) then
finally retiring from Naval Air Station (MS). He returned to his hometown of
Dewey to be closer to his family.
Our Dad was funny, ornery and had a huge heart that held his family and
friends. He loved the Oklahoma Sooners and (sorry to say) Alabama too. You
could always find him hanging out at Rob’s shop and enjoying the outdoors.
But, his ultimate pride and joy was his children, grandchildren, and
great-granddaughter. He never hesitated to be there for the special moments
and the hard times.
Danny is survived by his children Stephanie Kelley of Dewey, Danny Kelley
and his wife, Donna, of Bartlesville; and Karen Succi-Siebrecht and her
husband, Scott, of Las Vegas (NV); along with the mother of his children,
Shirley Kelley of Meridian (MS); his brother Larry Kelley and his wife,
Sharon, of Glenpool (OK); four sisters, Barbara Wilson and her husband,
David, of Fallon (NV); Sandy Rutherford and her husband, Kenny, of Winfield
(KS); Lola Hake and her husband, Kelly, of Bristow (OK); and Faye Jack of
Glenpool (OK). He is also survived by six grandchildren, Ashley Kelley,
Dustin Kelley, Taylor Kelley, Kendall Kelley, Dalin Siebrecht and Teven
Siebrecht; and one great-granddaughter, Kenadie Harder. He was preceded in
death by his parents, two brothers, Steve Kelley and Jerry Kelley; and his
sister, Patricia Kelley.
He will also be dearly missed by the numerous Foster Children that found a
safe haven in the home of Danny & Shirley Kelley. As well as his best
friend, Rob Hahn, and his family who all very much loved Danny.
Graveside service will be held at 2 pm this Friday, April 22, at Dewey
Cemetery with Harry Henderson officiating.
