Kelly McCarron Abbitt
December 21, 1961 – July 18, 2018
San Leon Mayor and Local Legend Kelly Abbitt won his battle with cancer in the early hours of Wednesday, July 18th, 2018. He slipped peacefully into Heaven while many of us slept.
Kelly was born in Houston, Texas and attended high school in Friendswood. He served our country in the US Navy, loved to ride motorcycles, and loved his fellow man with all his heart.
As Mayor of San Leon, he helped more people and causes than can be named and was the center of an article in the Houston Chronicle about the loving and giving people of San Leon.
He was preceded in death by his father Howard Abbitt, mother Caroline Dickens, and sister Lauren Abbitt Thornton.
He is survived by wife Jan Abbitt, his “Pops” Charles Dickens, children Devin Acklen and Michael Abbitt, brothers Randy Abbitt and Paul Dickens, and sister Christine Kirchens.
Services will be at Crowder Funeral Home in Dickinson at 2:00 PM Saturday, July 21 with graveside services immediately following at San Leon Cemetery.
Memorial Donations may be directed to Jan Abbitt for distribution to the San Leon causes that Kelly loved.
Where to start my Brother, First off, Thanks for being a friend, I am blessed to have had you in my life. Thanks for showing the world what it meant to be a friend. Thanks for showing the world what it meant to be a “giver”. I am not sure if there will ever be another quite like you. Thanks for what you have meant to Mary and so many others throughout your life on this earth. We will always be here for Jan and the kids. Until we meet again, Love you Bro
Dear Family, I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. My sincere condolences to you. May you think of the many beautiful memories shared and take comfort thru the scriptures which promises sickness & death will be removed forever. Isaiah 33: 24, Rev 21:3-4

Rest in Peace Kelly. The BYSA Family will never forget your generous donation working with Jaton and the American Legion to raise Money for BYSA ( Bayshore Youth Sports Association ).
