Robert Evans Kellam passed quietly into the arms of Jesus on August 30, 2023. He dedicated his life to God and His Church serving as a deacon, a teacher, and the best example of a Christ filled life. He was born June 20, 1941, in Nassawadox, Virginia. He attended Onancock High School and then joined the National Guard. He graduated from Salisbury State College earning a bachelor's degree in business.

He worked in sales for Proctor & Gamble most of his adult life and retired. He was a gentle quiet man with a desire to win others for Christ. He was a prayer warrior. It was not unusual to find him on his knees in prayer anytime.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara Kellam; sons, Robert E. Kellam, Jr, Steven Scott Kellam; stepdaughter, Debbie Smith; stepson, Scott Wilkerson; grandchildren, Jessica Jackson, Jake Smith, Isabella Nicole Kellam, Rosaleigh Kayleen Kellam, Hannah Noella Kellam, and Olivia Grace Kellam; great grandchildren, Jasmyn Jackson, Jaelyn Jackson, Ayden, Amity, and Justyce. He was predeceased by grandson, Charlie Jackson.

He was a bright light and will be greatly missed by his friends and family. But he is right where he has always wanted to be. He has run the race diligently and has gained his crown.

Shives Funeral Home, Trenholm Road Chapel, is assisting the Kellam family.
