Kelly Giddens Obituary

Kelly David Giddens, 36, beloved husband, father, son, uncle and friend, died Thursday, December 24, 2015.  He resided in Newmarket, Suffolk, UK but the place he called home was Colorado Springs, Colorado although he was born and raised in San Angelo, TX.

Kelly adored his wife and children and was a great father.  He was extreme in everything he did, whether it was riding bikes, training for jiu-jitsu or raising chickens. Kelly loved the outdoors and spent many happy times with his family hiking and camping.

Kelly gave his heart to the Lord in a church in Mexico on the December 22, 1995, when he was 15 years old.  Over the years, he was constantly searching for God's truths and was an inspiration to many.

Although Kelly's life was filled with personal struggles, he was full of compassion for the down and out, and never failed to show love to his family or anyone needing a helping hand.  His grit, determination, and sense of humor will outlast any of the heartaches that took him from us before we were ready to say goodbye.

Kelly is survived by his wife, Sandra; his daughters Elisa, Hailey, and Lucy and one son, Sergio.  He is also survived by his mother, Marla Giddens, father, Rick Giddens and step-mother, Carol Giddens; brother, Keith Giddens and wife Brigitte; niece, Mackenzie Ferreira and husband, Mark; nephew, Jackson Giddens and great niece, Brooklyn Ferreira; brother Kevin Giddens and nephew, Alex Giddens and niece, Jaina Giddens.

Graveside Service, 1:00PM, Tuesday, January 19, 2016 at Evergreen Cemetery, 1005 South Hancock Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80903

Our "little buffet" will be dearly missed.
