about the kelton boell project

about-project-v3

The KB Project is a nonprofit created in memory of Kelton Boell. What began as a family’s grief has grown into a mission to support mental wellness, encourage open conversation, and help others feel less alone during difficult moments. Every effort is rooted in compassion, community, and action.

Kelton’s story

Kelton was known for his kindness, quiet strength, and love for the outdoors. He had a way of making people feel seen without needing attention for himself. To those closest to him, he was thoughtful, loyal, and deeply caring.

After losing Kelton, his family chose to honor his life by creating something meaningful. The KB Project exists to carry forward the values Kelton lived by and to turn loss into purpose by helping others find support, hope, and connection when they need it most.

Kelton’s original hand-drawn sketch became the foundation for The Kelton Boell Project logo.
