FRANCIS KELLY - AUSTRALIAN ICON AND SCHOOLBOY

Francis (Frank) Kelly. 19 March 2002 - 5 April 2018.

Frank Kelly was born in Nambour, Queensland, but spent most of his childhood years in the country town of Boonah - also in Queensland. He moved back to the Sunshine Coast where he attended Buderim State Primary School and Siena Catholic College until his death earlier this year. However, he would visit his hometown of Boonah very often.

Frank Kelly is most notable for being a typical Australian. The accent, the behavior - everything. He was much beloved by his classmates and by his girlfriend of two years, Christine.

Francis was named after ST Francis and came from a fairly religious family. They would attend church every weekend and are described by an inside source as 'a lovely bunch.'

Frank was also the person depecited on the Australian 10 cent coin. He was quite an Australian icon. He was SRC three out of the four years that he was at Siena Catholic College.

Frank was 16 when he tragically died in a helicopter accident. Taking off from the Brisbane airport, the helicopter had an engine failure and Frank, along with three others, fell to their deaths in the Indian Ocean. The bodies were never recovered.

Candle-lit ceremonies were held all over the country in memory of this wonderful Australian icon.
