Kilian Patrick McCoy

Kilian "Kelly" Patrick McCoy passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Froedtert SICU Milwaukee, WI, March 16, 2025.

Kelly was born July 30, 1974, to Dannie and Sandy McCoy (Buckingham). He grew up in Ridgeway, WI, helping his grandparents on their farm throughout school. He then found the love for driving tow trucks, dump trucks, and semis. On September 27, 2006, he welcomed his Daughter, Arionna L.E. McCoy (Mindy Paulus), into the world. He then took his little girl on many gravel, paving, grain, and OTR trips.

Kelly had an unapologetic zero f's given attitude when obnoxiously using the train horn, jake brake, and middle finger while driving. His quick witted smart mouthed antics will be missed. In his words, "if it isn't a dick, don't ride it so hard."~copy~

He is survived by his Father, Dannie L. McCoy (Kelly Shaw) of Oconto, WI; Mother, Sandy McCoy (Buckingham) of Dodgeville, WI; Daughter, Arionna McCoy (Mindy Paulus) of Spring Green, WI; Brother, Shawn (Denise) McCoy of Dodgeville, WI; Sister, Sarah McCoy of Milwaukee, WI; and Sister, Rebecca Dickson of Wautoma, WI. He was proceeded in death by Peter and Adel McCoy (Tomasky); Byron and Marie Buckingham (Reeson); and many uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
