Lawrence Kelly Noel, 73 of Huntington, West Virginia, passed away August 21, 2020. He was born February 19, 1947; son of the late Paul F. Noel and Janice Lawrence Noel. In February of 1964, at the age of seventeen, Kelly joined the United States Navy where he served as a Radar Specialist in the hurricane hunter squadron out of Jacksonville Florida. He also served in the West Virginia National Guard, excelling as a sharp shooter. After his time in the Navy, Kelly wore many hats as a TV repair man, industrial mainframe technician, technical instrument sales, various electrical supervisor positions, and master electrician. He retired from Ashland Oil/Marathon and founded IDS electrical contractors.   Kelly was an avid fisherman, hunter, boater, guitar player, and ham radio operator. Kelly achieved his private pilot license and got to fulfill his dream of taking off and landing a sea plane. He served as the Public Boating Education Officer for the Coast Guard Auxillary in Barboursville, West Virginia. In September 2016 Kelly and Terri set out for what would be his last big adventure completing a thirteen month boat trip along America's Great Loop. He didn't wish about his bucket list, he lived it.   His greatest joy was being a father to his only child, Lora Kimberly Gaddy. He always said that he never dug a hole that she wasn't right in the middle of it.   In addition to his daughter, Kelly is survived by his wife Terri Lambert, stepdaughter, Nikki (Brent) Shepherd, and grandchildren, Sierrah Gaddy, Katie Gaddy and Carlin Shepherd.   Kelly was witty, kind and always willing to lend a helping hand. He will be missed by many.   The family will receive friends at Henson & Kitchen Mortuary, 6357 E. Pea Ridge Road, Huntington, West Virginia on Monday, August 24, 2020 from 6:00-8:00 PM with a brief ceremony starting at 8:00 PM. Those attending are asked to follow current COVID-19 Guidelines.
