Kelly C Kutyna

Kelly Casimir Kutyna (KC), Age 42, of Jackson, Michigan, passed away peacefully after a brief illness.

He was born on February 21, 1984 in Jackson, Michigan to Jim & Terri (Baker) Kutyna.

Kelly was a Graduate of Lumen Christi High School, class of 2002 and was the owner of Jackson Plumbing and Heating Supply Company, which was his passion.

Growing up, he had fun with the neighborhood kids.  Bike riding, playing street hockey with the Webbs, and swimming in the Brewer’s Pool, to forts in the pine trees. He played football for Lumen Christi High School and was the 2000 and 2001 State Championship teams.  He enjoyed getting together with family and having  everyone together at his home on Clarklake. He loved going to Siesta Key, Florida and looked forward to camping at Wagner Lake.  He also enjoyed golfing on Sundays and pontoon rides with his Clarklake friends.

He is survived by his parents, Jim and Terri (Baker) Kutyna; his brother, Steve (Brianne) Kutyna; niece, Bella, nephew, Carter; Aunts and Uncles, Michelle and Rick Poling, Mary Ann Ebanks, Janice and Dale Wheat, and his Godmother, Angie Kutyna; Cousins, Tyler and Mitchell Poling and Ben and Jacob Wheat.

Kelly is preceded in death by his Grandparents, Polly and Cass Kutyna and Kelly and Lois Baker. 

Those who came across Kelly were enamored with his infectious personality, and dry sense of humor.

Kelly’s family would like to thank Jim Ball for his help at the shop and for his love and support. Special Thank You to Rick and Michelle Poling for being a rock to our family. Ron Markowski who helped fulfill Kelly’s dream and all of the angels at Henry Ford Hospice Home.  We are so thankful for all the thoughts and prayers that have helped us to hand our son over to our Lord Jesus.
