Kelly Daniel Osborne, 66, of Kent, died Thursday, November 26, 2015 at Bath Creek Estates in Cuyahoga Falls.
He was born April 16, 1949 in Barnesville to Douglas D. and Nancy Jane (Kennedy) Osborne Sr. Kelly, frequently referred to as, "KO", was a simple man who had an affinity for cold beer, good food, drag races and Seinfeld. Often selflessly willing to help others he never asked for help in return. He had a great sense of humor and even in the face of his horrific diagnosis managed to keep both family and caregivers laughing.
Always family oriented, KO provided loving care to his parents who preceded him in death, was a wonderful brother and an extremely loving father and grandfather. Having lived in Kent for most of his life, he had many lifelong childhood friends, as well as some very close friends whom he met during his career at RB &W in Kent, where he worked for 35 years.
Being such a gentle, loving man, Kelly will be missed greatly by his family and friends. He is survived by his daughter, Leslie (David) Luchtenberg of Lewis Center; granddaughter, Susanna Luchtenberg; brother, Douglas (Janis) Osborne Jr. of Suffield; and sisters, Patricia (Mike) Kensinger of Ravenna, Megan Heideman of Munroe Falls, and Susan Osborne of Brimfield.
Funeral services will be held Noon Friday, December 4th at Bissler & Sons Funeral Home with Chaplain Mike Shaub officiating. The family will receive friends one hour before the service. Private burial will be held at Standing Rock Cemetery. Memorials may be made to Hospice of Summa, 444 N. Main Street, Akron, OH 44310.
