Arthur was born in Cincinnati, Ohio to his late parents, Solon Kelley and Mattie Kelley (Hardy) He departed this earthly life on Sunday, March 22, 2026
Arthur, affectionately known as “Buster” was quiet and easy-going in later years. As a younger man he was faced with challenges of being in trouble. But by the grace of God, he was blessed to live 30 plus years past what he ever expected or thought possible. Though Buster was quiet and easy going, anyone that knew him knew he could be something else!!
Buster enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. He loved listening to his gospel music as he did every Sunday and would always say “I’m remembering mama.” He also liked his sip-sip, and eating his Lay’s potato chips while watching football and baseball, and could play an excellent game of chess.
Arthur is also preceded in death by his brothers: Jimmy, Tillmon (Butter), Odel and Gary and two nephews.
Those left to remember him: Patricia (David), Arleen, Ernestine, Priscilla and Mary, Jerome (Sandy), Ricky, one step-sister and brother and a host of Nieces, Nephews, great nieces and nephews, Cousins and Friends.
