Roy Kelly Braithwaite's Obituary
Roy Kelly Braithwaite, age 81, of Plano, Texas passed away on July 29, 2020 in Dallas, Texas after a battle with cancer. Kelly was born on June 26, 1939 in Uvalde, Texas to Hollis and Felice Braithwaite. He served as Lance Corporal for the US Marine Corps from 1961-1967 before becoming a Chief Financial Officer, his chosen career.
Kelly was an avid tennis player and swimmer. He studied Western and Texas History and, in his younger days, enjoyed racing horses, riding bulls and broncos. One day, Kelly's father caught him practicing quick draw in front of the mirror and entered him into a quick draw competition that he won. He was an animal rescue advocate and loved dogs. When Kyle obtained a new dog, Dad would say "you just bought yourself 10 years of free entertainment."
Kelly is survived by his daughter, Kim Braithwaite of Dallas, TX; son, Kyle Braithwaite of Katy, TX; son, Ryan Braithwaite of Uvalde, TX; son, Aaron Wallace and grandson, Patrick Pinson of Sunnyvale, CA.
