Allagash—Roger Wendell Kelly, 90, passed away on January 25, 2022, at a Fort Kent health care facility. He was born in 1931 at the head of the "Big Rapids" along the St. John River, he was the second born to Harley and Elizabeth Kelly. Roger was a hard-working lumberjack from age 11 until he retired. At age 11 he rode on the back of a horse working with his father; when he retired from working in the woods, he was operating a feller buncher machine. He was a veteran of the Korean War, serving in the U.S Army in Korea with his older brother Earl. He was a Master Maine Guide where he made many lifelong friends guiding many sportsmen down the St. John and Allagash Rivers. Many stayed in contact with him throughout the remainder of his life. He worked many years after his retirement for the Allagash Guide Service where he guided bear, moose, and deer hunters with great success. He loved the outdoors; no matter the time of year, weather conditions or if he was sick or not, you would find him outdoors. Roger would either be fishing in the spring and summer, hunting in the fall, or snowmobiling in the winter looking for moose sheds. He will be greatly missed by all the family and many many friends he came to know in the great outdoors of Maine. The family extends a huge thank you to the employees of Forest Hill Nursing Home for the many years of wonderful care that you provided our Dad in his time of need. You became family to him, and he loved you dearly.
