Personal life


Born in rural McCall in central Idaho, Kelly was raised near Riggins, Idaho.[2] In the 1950s he graduated from what is now Portland State University before joining the United States Air Force and marrying Jeanette Bernhardt.[2] During the late 1950s he attended Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon.[2] Bernhardt and Kelly had one daughter Kassandra, and Bernhardt died in 1960 of cancer before Kassandra turned one.[2]


In 1961, Kelly married Bonnie Bronson, and in 1963 they bought a 5-acre (2.0 ha) dairy farm near Oregon City, where as of 2010 Kelly still lived.[2] Kelly and Bronson had a son, Jason, who died in 1978 of leukemia, while Bronson died climbing Mount Adams with Kelly in 1990.[2]
