You either debated with the guy, read his news articles at first in the Sierra County Sentinel and then eventually his human interest features and event coverage in The Herald and the newspaper’s monthly tourism publication –the Chaparral Guide– or shared a hearty laugh with Kelly. He made us laugh deeply much too often, made us mildly angry at times, and informed us through a series of articles that appeared in both newspapers, reporting on governmental happenings and penning human interest features. He often caused us to reflect on our own ways of thinking and looking at the world – often challenging us. Kelly was not the type of guy to keep his opinion to himself, but he certainly had a way of expressing himself without holding any punches, but I am certain he deflected the full force of his verbal punches out of respect for the person to whom he was speaking. Kelly had a knack for making you genuinely laugh moments after pushing the envelope of offending your personal perspective. Many of us were looking forward to the day Kelly would return to Sierra County, after leaving the area for a “short stint” to southern Nevada. On the last day of the first month of the year, Saturday, Jan. 31, Kelly succumbed to years of health issues that affected that giant heart of his many of us got to know and love. Kelly was hospitalized on Thursday, Jan. 29, and admitted into the Intensive Care Unit in a Las Vegas, Nev., hospital. Two days after arriving at the hospital, however, Kelly left us for the last time. Kelly’s years in Sierra County were spent living as a camp host at Elephant Butte Lake State Park assisting visitors to New Mexico’s largest lake, as a volunteer firefighter while living in Cuchillo, where he spent considerable time making a home. Kelly attended countless events, often in costume, a time or two dressed in drag as a woman, embodying the spirit of the Truth or Consequences Fiesta over the years, taking photos of athletes competing at the Elephant Man Triathlon, and dressed as Santa during the Floating Lights Parade and Harvest Festival and Luminaria Beach Walk. His boisterous laughter was like a beacon at places like the Hillsboro Apple Festival, Hatch Chile Festival, Elephant Butte Balloon Regatta, art hops, and events in Winston and Truth or Consequences – camera in hand, taking notes. He interviewed countless officials and everyday residents of southern New Mexico. He made a lot of lasting friendships in his relatively short time here. An obituary for Kelly is reportedly in the works and was not available as of The Herald’s press deadline. A local memorial has been organized to honor the life of Kelly Cauffman, and will take place at Grapes Gallery on Main Street Sunday, Feb. 8, 1-3 p.m., thanks to the See KELLY on Page 12 The family of Edna Gordon would like to express their deepest gratitude for all the flowers, food, cards, and prayers that were extended to us for the loss of our mother. A special thank you to Brett Smith, and our Caballo Church Family for the lovely service and dinner.
