In loving memory of Martin Francis Kelly who sadly passed away on 9th September 2023
Martin recently retired from ENO, after more than 30 years service, due to poor health. He dearly loved his family, Children, and Grandchildren. He will be desperately missed by them all. During COVID he taught himself how to Wood Turn, a skill that he excelled at and was looking forward to spending more time in his 'Man Cave' over the coming months, & years. Unfortunately, 'the good die young' is so apt in this case!
He has one last 'gig'. The down beat will be at 14:30!
Please wear smart casual clothes. Your life is spent in black, don't feel obliged to be traditionalists!

All our chosen charities played a big part in Martin's life over the past few months. He had amazing care, from amazing people. Nothing could ever repay the individuals who unconditionally cared for him. His final place was at South Petherton Community Hospital where they all made us feel so welcome, and were a massive support in his final days & hours. Donations for here can be made direct to the Funeral Directors, or there will be a collection box at the Minster for this charity.
We request only family flowers for the funeral, and hope that we can raise as much money as possible for all of them.
Thank you.

Martin was a truly great musician, although his modesty belied that. Much more importantly, he was a terrific human being, and that is all that needs to be said.

You were always ready with a smile and up for a laugh Martin. It has been a privilege to have known you as a friend and great colleague.
