Twenty four years ago, on a sad June 11th at 12:15PM Pacific Time, DeForest Kelley passed away at the Motion Picture & Television Fund Hospital in Woodland Hills, California.
On June 25th of that year, his ashes were scattered by boat in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Pt. Fermin by the Neptune Society.
Pt Fermin (below) is located in San Pedro, near Long Beach, California. It has a park, a beach, an old lighthouse and beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean.
Below is Pt. Fermin’s general location within California.
Pt. Fermin held importance to De and his wife Carolyn, as it was where they enjoyed time together when they lived in Long Beach in their younger days. They had lifelong friends in Long Beach, so I imagine they visited this place throughout their lives together.

Rest in Peace De.
