Turk was born to Thomas Ambrose Kennelly and Nellie Isabelle (Gadbois) Kennelly on March 31, 1941, at the St. Francis Hospital in Shakopee, Minnesota. After graduating from high school in Buffalo, Minnesota, he enlisted in the United States Army and served his country from 1960 until 1963, including a tour of duty in Germany. He was united in marriage May 27, 1961, in Livingston Manor, New York, to Dorothy Funk, who was also serving in the Armed Forces. After living in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and then Portland, Oregon, Turk and family returned to Minnesota and settled in Huntersville.

He was a member of the Wadena County Mounted Sheriff’s Posse and he was also learning to fly airplanes. He found pleasure in most outdoor activities, but his favorite was riding his Harley.

He is preceded in death by his parents and both of his brothers, Thomas O. Kennelly and Robert Kennelly.
