Kelly Colin Greer

Kelly Colin Greer, 53, of Powder Springs, GA., passed away on March 5, 2020. Kelly was born in Pequot Lakes, MN to Charlotte and Michael Greer. After graduating from Pequot Lakes High School, Kelly attended both the University of Colorado and St. Cloud State University but eventually ended up obtaining his A&P Certification in Thief River Falls, MN from Northland Community College. He was hired by Delta Airlines in 1991 in Atlanta, where he worked in TechOps for 29 years.

Kelly was an amazing husband, incredible father and loving friend to all that knew him. His charismatic, fun-loving personality made everyone that met him feel like they had known him forever. Kelly was the first one to offer to help anyone in need. Kelly’s favorite activities included spending time on Lake Wedowee fishing, wakeboarding, boating and riding water toys. However, his greatest love was just spending time with his family. He was a proud father and never missed a game, activity or opportunity to support and cheer on his kids. His relationship with his wife, Kris, was his greatest gift of all. They were together for 32 years, including 24 years of marriage.

Kelly is preceded in death by his father, Michael Greer.
