Kelly Poling
Most people know Kelly for his murals throughout the Midwest, but his grand canvases were not a match for the grand heart he displayed to all. Kelly valued personal connection with others. He thrived when he was able to build relationships, sharing his heart and hearing another’s story. He had an inherent desire to help.
Kelly believed in the vision for the beautification and revitalization of downtowns across the United States and carried that out in what became his life’s work. This led him to live his life contributing his time, ideas and talents to numerous boards, committees and to any person who wanted to talk through an idea. As you drive through Chillicothe, you can see his expertise and intention throughout.
