According to a report released by Billings Police Department Sunday, 22-year-old Joseph Louis Kelly succumbed to his injuries following a two-vehicle crash in the Billings Heights last week. For Kelly’s friends Seamis Miller-Barrell and Rocky Stone, his death is a devastating reminder to practice motorcycle safety on the road.
Miller-Barrell joined dozens of bikers as they gathered near the Rimrock Mall Sunday night for a makeshift memorial for Kelly. “I did what’s called the circle of life for him. We solidify his legacy in a burnout in a circle,” said Miller-Barrell Monday. It’s one of the several events that happened over the weekend memorializing Kelly. He sustained fatal injuriesafter crashing into the passenger side of a truck on his bike last Wednesday. Billings police said Kelly was speeding, and the crash remains under investigation.
