RIP, Kelly Fero

Sad news.

Democratic political consultant Kelly Fero died this afternoon at his home in Austin. Details weren’t immediately available.

Fero was best known as an Austin-based consultant to John Sharp, Tony Sanchez, the late Jim Mattox and many, many others. He was a talented writer, a top-notch researcher, and had a repuation for smashmouth quotes and sharp elbows that earned him strong friends and strong enemies.

The Austin American-Statesman profiled him in 2008. And blogger and fellow consultant Nate Wilcox did a long interview with Fero later that same year.

He leaves a wife, Mary, two daughters, and three grandchildren.

I never met the man, but I corresponded with him quite a bit via email, and spoke to him on the phone several times. I liked him and respected his work. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace, Kelly Fero.

    Only hours between symptoms and death.
    That’s both tragic and scary.

    Do you know who the Vice-Mayor Pro Tem is?
