Kelton W. Beltz
Kelton W. BeltzRed RoseKelton William Beltz, 20 of rural Prospect left this earth on February 8, 2016.  He was born May 4, 1995 in Delaware to Vernon and Stacie (Reese) Beltz.

Kelton attended Elgin High School where he soared because of an amazing educator, Diana Hudson Carr Napier.  He also attended Tri-Rivers Career Center where he blazed a path, leaving many memories in the hearts of those in his cosmetology class and throughout his VICA Chapter and the school.

He is survived by his parents and his brothers and sisters, Quinton (Emily) Beltz, Marion; Kendell (Matthew) Cherry; LaRue; Courtnie (Jay Sinkler) Beltz, Marion; Kaitlin (Daniel) Rice, Marion; his precious twin brother, Coleton Beltz, Marysville; as well as beautiful friends that were as close as siblings, Travis Mudrich, Delaware; Ashley Mitchell, LaRue; and Katherine North, Richwood.  He is also survived by his beloved nieces and nephews, Jacob, Shyan and Kayden Cherry, Alexis Rice and two that were his just because he loved them, Kody Park and Alex Ramirez.  In “Unkie Kelton’s” World they were all his, no matter how he acquired them.

He is also survived by his grandfather, Robert Reese, formerly of Richwood; his aunts and uncles, Scott (Patricia) Reese; Phillip (Debra) Beltz; and Doug (Jeni) Blackburn, as well as great aunts and uncles and many cousins and extended family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Lois Reese; grandparents, William and Phyllis Beltz, an aunt, Kathleen Blackburn, and great-aunts and uncles that will now help watch over him and make his journey one of peace.  Loved ‘til death and forever.

The family requests that casual attire be worn to the funeral home because that’s what Kelton would appreciate.  They also ask that friends bring a photo if they wish, to be displayed and shared with his friends and family.

Funeral services will be Saturday, February 13, 2016 at 11:00 AM at the Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home, Richwood with Pastors Bill Wasserbeck and Jay Hills.  Burial will follow in Claibourne Cemetery.  Friends may call Friday from 3 to 7 PM at the funeral home in Richwood.

Memorial gifts may be made to Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home, P. O. Box 122, Richwood, OH 43344 to assist the family with expenses.

I have several memories of Kelton, and the one that comes to my mind the most is my Sophomore year in Mrs. Foresters class. If anyone was in that class you would remember Kelton requesting to read quite often. When he read he would change his voice and impersonate different people. The class would get a kick out of it while the teacher not so much.
I remember that same year I joined the swim team not knowing how to swim. Both Kelton and Coleton were on the team as well. They both helped me get over my fear of the water and to stop holding on the wall. Kelton would make is silly jokes about me clinging onto that darn wall. I was a little embarrassed for myself to be frank. I only wish I would have stayed more in contact with the both of them. Kelton at times would tag me in posts pertaining to small business owners like myself. Kelton was so intelligent, had so much potential. It is a tragedy that he is no longer here. I hope he rests in peace.

We are so sorry for your loss.  Holly and Karl were one of the sets of twins at Claiborne Elementary during kindergarten (and preschool), and we still laugh at the day Kelton and Coleton switched classes and it took several hours for the teachers to catch on.  You are in our prayers now and in the days to come.

Stacie,Vernon and family.I know this will not ease your pain but as you know I can truly say I know how you feel. All I can say is to take all your friends and family to heart, think about all the good times you had over the years with your son,pack it away in your heart and you will be amazed at how comforting it  truly is knowing that he is with you all the time.This is truly very sad and I'm sorry that you are forced to do this considering that just a week ago you were speaking to me for the same reason. My heart goes out to you guys. Be strong and remember the guy up there had a bigger plan in store for Kelton. Love you guys.
