SEATTLE (Sept. 29) ­ Memorial services for Micah Kellcy, a former all-conference hurdler and recent graduate of Seattle Pacific University, will be held Saturday afternoon (Oct. 2) in Lakewood, Wash. Friends, teammates and classmates are invited to a 2 p.m. service at the Clover Park High School gymnasium.

Kellcy was killed in a motorcycle-car accident which occurred Sunday afternoon near the Tacoma Mall.

"Micah will be missed by his teammates and coaches. He was such a pleasure to know, coach and be around for the past three years," said Jack Hoyt, SPU head coach. "Micah's big smile and friendly attitude made a great contribution to our team. It was also obvious that Micah always placed God first in his life. He was a tremendous example of Christian love. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family."

A psychology major, Kellcy had graduated from Seattle Pacific in June. He competed for three seasons in track and field for the Falcons from 2002-04, running both the 400-meter hurdles and relays. As a junior, Kellcy finished third in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference championships in the intermediate hurdles. He was fourth as a sophomore and sixth as a senior. He ran the leadoff leg for the 1600 relay which was GNAC runner-up in 2002 and '03.

He completed his career ranked No. 5 in the 400 hurdles and a member of the No. 2 all-time 1600 relay. The Lakewood resident was a 1999 graduate of Clover Park High School, where he also hurdled and ran relays. He also lettered in football and wrestling.

According to police reports, Kellcy, 23, was riding his motorcycle north on Tacoma Mall Boulevard when a minivan headed south on the same street made a left turn in front of him. The motorcycle collided with the side of the minivan. Kellcy was taken to Madigan Army Medical Center in critical condition. He died of his injuries later that night. No one else was injured.

Clover Park High School is located at 11023 Gravelly Lake Drive Southwest in Lakewood.

Kellcy is survived by his parents, Walt and Martha Kellcy, and two older brothers.
