I'm so sorry to hear about Chris. He, Jackie, Robert & I use to play outside. We lost Jackie a few years back, now Chris. I am so sorry for his family.

I Love You Cuz. We had a lot of good times together. I remember when came to my house when I was little and destroyed me in Madden. I love you.

CKAYE (my brother), We have shared a lot of good times as well as bad. Through it all we have remained friends. You always knew what to say. Always had the best advice even if was painful to hear. I am forever thankful and count it a privilege to be able to experience the gift of music with you. You will be missed dearly. Your heart will not hurt anymore more my friend, rest in peace.

Will be praying for you all. Chris gave me my first tracks in the studio and believed in me and my gifts from the beginning!! From the Clayborn family and the Righteous Riders we LOVE YOu and you will be missed!

Chris had a heart of gold from time to time I would get a text or message asking how I was doing meant so much to me. He was a great musician shower his gift amount many loved by all, he will truly be missed. In August he called and said″ We have to start checking on each other more″ I said yes you’re right″. As Hazel Kelly used to say to me all the time ‶ Christopher Kelly is one of the best Indianapolis has heard″.

That voice.. My family joined GSMBC after hearing Chris sing :Stand". God bless your beautiful wife and daughter, Pastor Kelly, and all family and friends. Rest well sir.....

Chris started out as my older brother’s (Kenny) friend, but they would often let me tag along when we just little kids. When we got older though Chris and I developed our own friendship through music. I remember working with one of his groups, Blackmale, having so much fun and learning so much. Chris was a big guy with a big voice and a big heart who will be missed in a big way. Rest in heavenly peace, my friend.

Chris was one of the first friends I met when I moved to Washington township in 6th grade. He was always a safe and sound presence as we navigated through highschool graduation. Chris always had a song to sing or a beat to make. He always was a friend to everyone and just a good guy. I have always been proud of Chris path and journey through his ministry of music and love for his family. May his wife and family have the peace and understanding during this time. Christopher Kelly will never be forgotten.

Miss you bro!

Where do I begin? I have known Chris since I was a teen. In our early adulthood, I remember running into him from time to time and he would tell me about his music accomplishments. Back then, "Lately" was out. I also knew he was working with Levert amongst other things. We both knew back then what each other were up to musically and we would share and congratulate each other whenever we crossed paths. So, that's 30+ years of me knowing this good human. Later in life, I started recording again and we reconnected musically. Once I began working with Chris, it was a wrap for me recording with anyone else. That was in 2010 and we've been rocking musically ever since. Everything I recorded from that time on, Chris was involved in some capacity. What a warm spirit he had and what a stand up guy! To know Chris is to love him. He was incredibly talented, patient, kind, and professional. I will truly miss him. It was evident how much he loved his wife and family. It wasn't always; but when he spoke of them, it was with so much care and love. I'm certain my grief is merely a fraction of those much closer to him. I want to extend my sincere condolences to his wife, daughter, father, family, music family, and friends. I wish I had the right words to encourage you and give you peace in the midst of your pain. I pray that God will comfort and keep you! Sincerely, ~K. Huggs

I was a student nurse on rotation in the hospital the day Chris was born. I always saw him as my lil brother. His talent was truly a gift from God. Rest in peace and we will see you again. Revelation 21:4-5

I miss you already my brother I remember you give me the nickname Haitijames ! All your friends use to say ‶who’s Haiti james″ and since then everybody called me Haiti James ! To be honest I use not to like it lol when everyone called me that. Now I’m honor you gave me that name ! You’ll be missed my brother and you’ll forever be with me ! I love u bro! God bless you forever bro bro!

Chris was one of cousin and he will be missed deeply. Chris could always say something to make you laugh you could always feel Chris presence whenever he walked in. Great family man who loved his family so very much especially Collin and Christian.Chris was an inspiration to me but I never got to tell him that. Just his drive and passion for music motivated me to chase my dreams. My condolences to Alesha and Christian. Your cousin from Va Ross Crump
