Malichi Kelley Obituary Malichi Kelley, age 24, of Brainerd, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, June 16, 2025, leaving behind cherished memories.
A devoted brother, Malichi shared a close bond with his siblings that remained strong into adulthood, so much so that they chose to live together. His kind heart and quiet humor made him the glue that held many moments together.
Malichi worked as a forklift operator at Sheridan, where he was known for his strong work ethic and steady presence. Outside of work, he enjoyed gaming and relaxing with music. He was often found watching episodes of Trailer Park Boys.
He shared a special bond with his beloved cat, Skipper, who was always by his side. Friends and family will remember Malichi for his gentle nature, loyalty, and the way he made life a little lighter just by being himself.
He will be deeply missed by his mom, Mary (Mike) Strange; dad, Richard; and siblings, Seth Sax and Amanda Sampson. He was preceded in death by his grandparents.
Please join the family as they celebrate Malichis Life on Saturday, June 28, 2025, from 11 a.m. 1 p.m. at Nelson Doran Funeral Home in Brainerd.
