So hard to sum feelings up in a few sentences. John was my very first client in my fledgling little business in 2000 which soon turned quickly into a great friendship. Will miss your cheeky grin and the way you could quickly call George out when you didn’t agree with him. I’ll miss watching your gorgeous relationship with your beautiful little grand baby Amahni. My heart breaks with the thought of not seeing you again John. Miss and love you always. Promise to look after your girl Taryn 💋❤👍

Our dear John, I was just 15, you 17, when I met you for the very first time. There was something about that cheeky shy grin, the long hair, and that mischievous personality, we were destined to be friends! Who knew two years later, we would be together and you would be in our lives forever. Taking Taryn as your daughter, Tyson coming along two years later, so many good years to follow for our little family. All of our motorcross trips, our go cart days, so many great memories to hold. Our marriage wasn’t to last, but our love for each other would be with us always. A beautiful man taken way too early. Sleep peacefully dear John, you will be forever in my heart. Lee.

You were a good friend for many years John and will be sadly missed by us & everyone at Newborough Bowling Club- our love goes out to Lee, Taryn, Tyson & familes – Jan & Sue xo

Only know John for a few year but got to know you well, will miss the chats, and will miss the trips down to watch the pies, will have to find somebody else down to the footy and HOPEFULLY they won’t get us surrounded by 6 bouncers and thrown out of the casino. Take care up there John we’ll miss you, Shane & Amanda & family

Poppy u were such a great man and poppy I loved u to the bottom of my heart. If I could’ve saved u somehow I would’ve but none of us could do anything to save u. U will be very much loved by everyone especially me. I miss u deeply but I am happy your in a better place now not in anymore pain. We have had such great memories and those memories will be kept in my head forever. U mean the absolute world to me and it’s extremely difficult to let u go but just know that u will always be thought of in my head and I love u so much. It hurt extremely bad when I got the news but I knew it was better for u and your health poppy. I just wish u didn’t pass so young u were so amazing u spoiled me so much cared and loved me deeply I just hope your watching down on us and I’m so happy I could make u proud whilst it lasted. 11 (almost 12) years of my life u were there for me in every situation. U always put a smile on my face no matter what u treated me like I was your daughter instead of your grand daughter. I love u so much poppy. U will always have a huge special part in my heart. I miss u and love u deeply poppy. R.I.P poppy fly high🕊❤️😘

Sympathy to John’s family. I have had the pleasure to call John a mate over the past years. I will always cherish winning the Club fours championship with you, George and Sherms. You will be sadly missed by all at the bowling club and indeed the wider community.

To john’s family my heart felt sadness for ur lose who I meet thru his cousin Julie 13 yrs ago & spent time away & worked together my love to all dennis Gourdoulis

Lost a good mate, but the memories will never leave me. Lots of fun over the years, trips away, cars or bikes, i will always remember. To no someone most of your life and not once fight over anything is very special., except holden v ford,.We have all lost a mate but the family have lost a son, a dad, a pop my deepest condolences for your loss.

John I already miss your laugh and our chats so much. You were more than a neighbour for many great years. You were a friend with the gentle soul. I’ll miss seeing you in your dressing gown sneaking rubbish into my bin, I’ll miss the little gifts from your overseas trips, and most recently our problem solving around an errant cow who decided to visit you and I a few times. You couldn’t have laughed more when you saw the mess it left for me to clean up. But most of all I will miss the genuine and generous bloke who was always smiling, was always up for the chat and giggle and always true to himself. Rest easy John. Never, ever forgotten. Deepest condolences to the family.

John, you’ve gone way too soon but left your mark within the hearts of many.
My sincerest condolences go out to Taryn, Tyson, Lea and family’s.
You were such a big part of our Victorian life. The MX days were so much fun, our boys competed together and our girls played Barbi’s. You helped all of the kids with their bikes, nothing was ever too much trouble.
I will always remember you as a very kind, generous and fun loving soul, except for the day on our Xmas holiday on the Murray when I nearly blew up the houseboat, you did not see the funny side as did Lea and I.
You came up to the Gold Coast and spent a week with us at Indy time. Whilst wandering the streets in Surfers, drinks in hand when you suddenly bolted into a dress shop, leaving me to get done for drinking in a public place…you were peeking out from behind a dress display in absolute hysterics, still slurping on your beer!
We will always have such fond memories of you John, you’ll never be forgotten.

Gayle Jackson (Norton)

Rest In Peace John.

You will be sadly missed mate.
Fly free.

John, the door opened way too early. We met way back when you were on the other side of the fence, but as time went by our friendship grew close as we watched our boys race MX bikes. You were such a nice humble bloke who loved life. Sincerest condolences go out to Taryn, Tyson, Lea and family’s.

John I have so many amazing childhood memories with you, Taryn, Tyson and Lee. You were an amazing dad and will be missed by many. My sincere condolences go out to Taryn, Tyson and Lee. Rest in peace. Tamara xx

Remembering good times as kids playing in Yallourn. R.I.P. John Kelly.

You will be sadly by all that knew & loved you. R.I.P John.
