Bruce Edward Kelley, 68, of Frost, Texas left this life on earth early Saturday morning July 5, 2025. He was born in Houston, Texas on October 2, 1956, to Woodrow Wilson Kelley and Maudie Day Kelley. Bruce joined the United States Army during his senior year of high school to serve his country. He worked in the construction using his eye for detail for woodwork and painting. He had a love for the coast and would spend hours building replica tow boats for his family. His patience and eye for detail was displayed in what he built. The attention given to the different levels of the boats, windows, bumpers, lights, tow lines, paint and the name was impressive.
He is preceded in death by his parents, siblings and a daughter Tammy Inez. Bruce is survived by 12 children and numerous grandchildren. Siblings Shirley Conner and husband Glenn, Richard Kelley and Inez Soileau and husband Alan. He is also survived by a number of extended family members and friends.
