Kelly Michael Yow

Kelly Michael Yow, 70, passed away Thursday at his home in Asheboro, NC (Summit Apartments, 156 E. Academy St). The son of the late Fred L. and Edith C. Yow, Kelly worked in the timber industry as a sawyer for several years for family owned businesses, then worked for Triad Propane in Asheboro for many years.  He also farmed with his brother Kenneth and enjoyed the outdoors working with their Oliver tractors.  Kelly was a simple fellow who enjoyed his many friends, loved going to the beach, and always kept his car or truck clean.

Kelly never married, and was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Lacy, and his brother Keith.  He is survived by sister Jane Coker (Gene, deceased), brothers Kenneth (Dianne) and Dale (Anne), and sister Sherrie Perry (Steve), and several nieces and nephews. Kelly’s family wishes to acknowledge the kindness and help of special friends Lloyd Hunt, his friends and neighbors at Summit Apartments (Carla Morton, Manager), and his buddies at AmVets Post 905 in Asheboro.

Kelly’s last several years were difficult after he suffered strokes and severe arthritis.  The family especially thanks Dianne Yow (sister-in-law) for her dedication in caring for him during this time. 

A memorial service will be 4 PM, Thursday, June 27, 2024 at Needham’s Grove Church Fellowship Hall. The family will receive friends prior to the service beginning at 3 PM.

 In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to AmVets Post 905, 142 W. Academy St, Asheboro, 27203, or to the Needham’s Grove Cemetery Fund, 359 Needham’s Grove Road, Seagrove, NC  27341.
