Not sure what to say?

Don, like many others, that taught me the finer points of steelhead and salmon fishing in my youth and have now passed leaving an unfilled void. Greatly missed.

Just saw this today, my thoughts to his family.i fished many, many years with Don often with business clients, mostly on the lower Clackamas, and Columbia just below Bonneville Dam and once in awhile the Willamette Rivers. Was always kind and was a great fishing guide, always were successful it seemed. I still fish today mostly on the Rogue River, drift boating but remember all those many fond trips out with Don. Thanks for the memories Don!! The family is in our thoughts! Ted...

I am very sorry to hear of Don's passing. I didn't ever fish in Don's boat, but I did see and talk with him often over many years on the Clackamas and Tillamook Bay where I have moorage at the Oyster House. He was a great angler but had other talents, amoung them table tennis. I remember the first time I watched him play against Mike Harris, owner of the Oyster House. Mike was all over the room making incredible shots while Don stood peacefully at the end of the table hardly moving to return...

Prayers for all the family and friends of Don Keller. I especially love the stories that “Preacher” Mark Miller has told over the years about how much he loved going fishing with Don. You have blessed him (and, to be sure, many others) abundantly. Rest in peace

In memory of a wonderful friend. Don was a special friend and fishing buddy to Ray. Their time went way back when they were both commercial fishermen and continued on to current times. Our condolences to his family during this hard time. He will never be forgotten.

Sorry to hear of Don's passing. We are old friends of his from the Williiam Volker Days. Don was a great person to work with his sense of humor was a blessing. May he rest in peace.

LAST OF THE GREAT FISHERMEN

THOSE THE MOST ENJOYABLE DAYS OF FISHING THAT I HAD, HE WAS THE MAN THAT KNEW HOW TO DO IT
