Jim was born on March 10, 1941 to James and Katherine Kelyman Sr. He grew up in Manville, NJ., and graduated from Manville High School in 1959, where he was a four-sport athlete. He attended Moravian University as a three-sport athlete and graduated in 1963. Following college, he served in the New Jersey National Guard and married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Carole. He pursued a thirty year career in the commercial lending industry.

In 1992, he moved with his family to Sebastian, FL., and has been a resident since.

Jim was a friend to all and lit up every room he went into. He thoroughly enjoyed making anyone smile by telling jokes. He enjoyed watching sporting games, attending church, and spending time at his community pool where he was known as "Gym". He was also known as "Big Jim," and "Coach K," to his friends and those he mentored in sports.

He was truly one of a kind and the best husband, dad, grandfather, uncle, cousin and friend that anyone could hope to have. He will be deeply missed by his wife, family, friends, and all who knew him. "True Story."

A service will be on Friday, April 14, 2023 at 11am at St Sebastian Catholic Church followed by a memorial service at the Sebastian Elks Lodge.
