Kellyn had a superb personality and the gift of laughter. He was the life of the party along with his mother and could always be seen enjoying time together because he was a Momma Boy.    His family was the most important thing to him.  The love for his sisters, Kandyce Marie Stewart and Vanessa Mourden Toliver was scene by everyone who knew them.  Kellyn respected his brothers, Brandon Armond Stewart, Victor Armond Toliver, Brett Alon Toliver (deceased).  He was inspired by how they raised their children and the closeness they had with them.  Kellyn and his father were inseparable.  His respect for his dad spoke volumes to their relationship and there was no problem that the two couldn’t solve together.  His dad was his rock.
