  2. Dear Aunty Elaine, Wayne, Craig, Leigh and families. Heartfelt condolences to you all on the passing of Kenny. I remember a man that was very strong willed but also very caring. Someone who would always get his point across even if it meant to raise his voice. I know our paths didn’t cross as much, but it was always good to know that you were around. Will miss you but will always remember you.
    In our hearts for eternity.

  6. Ken Kelson. So glad we were fortunate to meet you. You showed us what a beautiful man you were. You fought so hard and dodged so many bullets.

  7. Our KJ rest in peace. I am so grateful for KJ in my life – a unique beautiful soul and uncle, his love, support, loud stories and influence encouraged me to be fearless, strong and the best I could be. My family too were blessed to have ‘the KJ’ share in our fun times, the Tigers reign, a cuppa alongside the Auntie E scone or sponge cake treat (cream is never optional!) Love you and in memory always, be sure you give the big man – Bazz a high five! Andrea xx

  8. What a legend! (Often) grumpy on the outside, but soft on the inside – with a wicked laugh… that was Kenny! Remembering such wonderful fun times together between the Fletts and the Kelsons – at Christmas Island, San Francisco, Perth and Savaris Court! It was so special to attend yesterday’s service on behalf of Mum, Dad and Chris who loved Kenny dearly and enjoyed such a beautiful friendship. Love to Elaine, Craig and Leigh and of course Waynis who I love so dearly. Mandis xxx

  9. Sorry for your loss. I remember Ken watching Aussie Football and listening to cricket at your house on Christmas Island. Also driving in that big Holden that you had. Take care 🙂

  10. A great man to me, always willing to give advice and teach others. He was a very intelligent operator in managing people- he really was switched on, probably as I was the youngest of the generation of Kelson/Mitchell kids it took me a while to get up to his academic level. He was always patient with me.
    He always had you looked after- It is a random memory but he made sure I had the seventy cents to get into the Kununurra pool.
    I miss you KJ, miss you mate.
    Your nephew,
    Ryan
