Kelley was the youngest of six siblings. His parents were Dr. Vincent Kelley, who was a top surgeon in Boston, and his wife Nathalie. Kelley began skating at age eight after attending a learn-to-skate program at Boston's skating club. Aside from his figure skating career, Kelley's ambition was to be a doctor like his father.

Kelley was en route to the World Championships in 1961 when his plane (Sabena Flight 548) crashed near Brussels, Belgium, killing all on board. He was 16 at the time of his death. His 28-year-old sister, Nathalie, was also killed in the crash.
