Gary Russell Kelley Obituary April 12, 2026 - Dahl-Van Hove-Schoof Funeral Home & Cremation Service 04/14/2026

We’re deeply saddened to hear of the passing of local artist and illustrator Gary Kelley. From national magazine covers to murals, book illustrations and major league sports art, Kelley spent decades shaping visual culture. His work appeared in Time, Rolling Stone and The New Yorker, and included major projects for the NBA, Kentucky Derby, NFL and Major League Baseball.

Kelley illustrated more than 30 books and earned 37 medals from the Society of Illustrators, where he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007. His large-scale work can be seen across the country, from Barnes & Noble stores to major public installations. His legacy—and his commitment to staying curious and creative—will continue to inspire.
