He was raised in Channing, Texas, where he graduated high school, during which time he competed in the state high jump competition, cross country, basketball, and rodeo. Kelsey had a natural athletic ability that was most apparent in his passionate love for calf roping. Kelsey was awarded a rodeo scholarship to South Plains College and went on to rope at West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas, where he graduated college. Kelsey continued roping calves into adulthood on the pro circuit, where he made many dear friends and memories. Rodeo was his truest passion. Kelsey was a true Texan who lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures. Kelsey proudly owned and operated KGMS, a custom harvest business. He also managed his own cow-calf operation. He took great pride in his work and always gave his absolute best effort in all his endeavors. On June 17, 2017, Kelsey married the love of his life, Brooklynde Parks in Breckenridge, Texas. The couple made a loving home, first in Canyon, Texas, and later moved to Dumas, Texas. The two found their happiest days in each other's love and comfort, and were always up for the next adventure. On December 8, 2019, Kelsey was baptized at his home church, First Street Church in Dumas, Texas, surrounded by loved ones. Kelsey is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Red and Lorene Garrison and his maternal grandfather, Willaird Moore.
