Kelly Dean Scarce Obituary

Kelly seems to have died under "mysterious" circumstances, possibly even murder/robbery 
according to some of his friends, on June 24, 2006. Local police wrote off his death in 
his new truck with a gun in his right hand as a suicide. However some of the facts do 
not support that evaluation. He was known to have been happy, and was planning some 
camping excursions. He had just bought a new truck. Kelly was left handed. His wallet 
and money were absent the scene but he was known to have cashed some disability checks.
