Kelly Jay Castonia, 60, of Ludington passed away on Tuesday, May 16, 2023 at Spectrum Health/Corewell Health in Grand Rapids.

Kelly was born on October 10, 1962 in Ludington, the son of the late Earl and Leatrice (Carberry) Castonia. He graduated from Ludington Senior High School in 1980 and was employed at Gunberg’s Appliances for over 25 years. He was a member of the Dear Brothers Association (DBA). Kelly enjoyed hunting, fishing, riding motorcycles, going to yard sales, gun and knife shows and watching baseball or football games or just being outside. He missed the family’s dogs but enjoyed the cats, deer and birds. He liked to cook at home, cook food on a grill and go out to eat. Kelly always had a big smile and great sense of humor.

Kelly is survived by his brother, James (Ann Weiler) Castonia; sisters, Shirley (Dan) Wever and Patricia (Dave) Shimel; and girlfriend, Kathy Gliszcinski; along with nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
