Not only was he interested in music, but he had various other interests, too. Kelly was also an avid University of Michigan fan and a big supporter of professional wrestling. Kelly spent countless hours studying his family’s genealogy. There was no one else like Kelly- he was an individual and he was proud of that fact.
