Jeff Kelsch passed away on Saturday, February 8, 2025 at Life Care Center of Burlington, Kansas.

Jeff was born on October 30, 1957 to Dwain and Beverly (Jacobsen) Kelsch, in Newton, Kansas.  Jeff attended schools in Newton and graduated in 1975.  Jeff's career in retail management included places like World Bazaar, Blockbuster Video and Pottery Barn and took him all over the USA.  A traumatic brain injury on the job forced Jeff to settle in Newton working at Norcraft (cabinet factory) where he retired after 21 years.  After Jeff's parent passed away he struggled to live on his own so he moved to McPherson, Kansas in 2020 to be closer to family.  When the time came that they could no longer keep him safe, Jeff moved to Life Care Center of Burlington, KS where he lived the remainder of his life.

Jeff is survived by sisters Denize Anderson and Desiree Kelsch, niece Traci Anderson, nephew Eric Anderson, great niece Presleigh-Jo Mork, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Jeff was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, brother in law Dennis Anderson, three aunts,  two uncles and one cousin.

There will be no formal service, an interment will be held at a later date.
