Services have been scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday at the Frank W. Wilson Funeral Directors Chapel, with the Rev Jeff Cleere officiating. Interment will follow at Sunset Memorial Gardens.
Steve was born March 7, 1957, in Odessa to R.C. and Lillie Mae Kelley. He was a lifelong Odessa resident. Steve attended Ector Junior/Senior High and graduated from Odessa High. He then went on to become an electrician.

Kelley and wife Doris of Gadsden, Ala.; brother, Quinton Kelley and wife Pat of Odessa; sister, Barbara Long and husband Mickey of Odessa; many aunts and uncles; and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, and great-great-nieces.
