Kelson Richard Lucas, 33, of Willington passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, June 25, 2022. He was born May 28, 1989 in Winfield, Illinois, the son of Daryl and Ruth (Fitts) Lucas. Kelson spent his life reading and writing, self-publishing one novel, The Duplicity of Tirch's Arch: Embers in the Dark, in 2015, and writing at least seven more over the course of the years. He received his Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Iowa in 2015, and his Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree in 2021. He worked as a librarian at Windsor Locks Public Library from 2019 to the time of his passing. His affinity for story telling was present throughout his life, manifesting also in his work and commitment as a dungeon master, leading public Dungeons and Dragons campaigns first at the Battle Standard in East Windsor and then amongst friends and family in recent years. His energy and enthusiasm were ever-present when speaking about his work, any anime or books he might have recently discovered or the mischief of his dog, Chibi. Besides his parents, Daryl and Ruth of Willington, he is survived by his brothers, Bryce and Jacob. A memorial service will be held at 4:00 pm on August 5th at Storrs Community Church in Coventry, Connecticut. Burial will be private at the convenience of the family.
