Six Years Later, McKelvey Family Honors Son
Six years ago, a ride down Old French Road ended in heartbreak for the McKevley family.
On this day, they return to the spot where 28-year-old Michael McKelvey tragically lost his life while riding his motorcycle—a crash that altered their lives forever. His family gathers here, remembering the moments that defined their time with him, sharing their favorite memories of Michael.
Pamela Marshall, Michael's mother, reflects on the loss. "I miss it all—the good times, the bad times, every moment. I'd give anything to have it back. Anything."
As they stand at the place where Michael’s life was cut short, his family is not only honoring his memory but also working to raise awareness. “We’re doing this because we want to remind people that motorcycles are out there, and we want everyone to drive with caution,” his father adds, determined to turn their tragedy into a message of safety.
