Charles "Kelly" Southwick

Charles Kelly Southwick, 64, passed away Friday, August 2nd, 2024 surrounded by his loving family after a courageous 4 year battle with prostate cancer.

Kelly was born April 27th, 1960 to Charles Richard Southwick and Patricia Ann Southwick. After graduating from Lehi High School, he served a 2 year LDS mission in Arkansas. On December 12, 1992 Kelly married his sweetheart, Jill Hunter, in Lehi, Utah. They were later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple August 26th, 1995.

Kelly had a passion for boating, trips to Lake Powell, vacations to Mexico, and loved himself some good old rock and roll music. Kelly was always up for adventure!

Family time was very important to him. Any chance to get together to BBQ or have a party, he was the first to make it happen! Kelly was "funny as hell", and was definitely known for his sense of humor and sarcasm!

Kelly was the kind of guy that anyone could go to when they needed pretty much anything fixed. He always had an answer for everything, and could heal a broken heart with one big huge bear hug. He gave the very best hugs! Kelly wasn't just a giant man, but a man with a giant heart. He was never afraid to tell you when you were wrong or give you his opinion when asked. Kelly has many life long friends and strong relationships because of how easy he was to talk to and the joy you had when you were around him... there was never a dull moment. Kelly was also known for having a great head of hair, and only driving the very best trucks!!!

Kelly is survived by his wife Jill and their three children; Justin Don Ross, Brittney Lee Robertson, and Shandee Lynn Nielson (Michael); 9 grandchildren; and 2 siblings; Brian Southwick (Natalie) and Kevin Southwick. He is preceded in death by his parents, and nephew Tanner Southwick.

The family would like to thank the medical teams who helped Kelly through this journey. He had the best of the best with Dr. Wallentine and his team, Symbii, and especially his Hospice Nurse, Wes, who went above and beyond for their family, and made Kelly's last few weeks of his life very comfortable.
