The passing of my buddy “Mountain Troll”

[realmenwearred]

Just wanted to let the Coach T  community know that Dr. Pete Kelley “Mountain Troll” has passed away.  He was extremely instrumental in bringing TSSAA football to our mountain. Eagles Football owes a lot to Dr. Pete Kelley, who believed in the dream of SMMHS and worked hard to ensure we had a stadium, field with drainage, permanent building for concessions, restrooms, and equipment, and regular mowings of our fields. 

We realize some of you may have never met him, but we can all recognize what all his efforts brought to our program and where we are today as a football team, and as an successful academic IB school.

We will let you know once arrangements have been made, but our hearts and thoughts go out to his family.

Thank you Dr. Kelley for your unwavering support of our Eagle program.

So sorry to hear this.  He was indeed a great person with a servants' heart for others.  He's leaving a legacy of love for his family and all of those who were fortunate enough to have met him.

Thanks for informing everyone.

Sorry to hear of his passing. I always enjoyed reading his posts on the T. Prayers going out to his family and friends as well as the Signal Mountain community.
