Ann, Jay & Shelley,
We will never forget John's smile and zest for life. We are blessed to have known him and will miss our times together.
Although a small condolence for your tremendous personal loss, the celebration of his life Saturday should stand as a lasting testament that he was dearly loved and respected.
Our hearts are broken for you and we hold you all in our prayers for healing and comfort.
Lauri, John, Sam, Hank, & Mac

I just learned of John's passing and want to express my condolences to Ann, Jay, Shelley and all of John's family. I will always remember how much I enjoyed being around John. He brought out the best in people and will be greatly missed.

To the entire Keller family: I just heard the news today and I was so sad to find out about John. I always enjoyed seeing him and visiting as we got to know each other over the years through Shelley and Max going through school together. The entire Garner family is thinking of you and we extend our deepest sympathy.

Steve, Kathy, and Max (the Garners)

I have known and worked with John for over 20 years. We shared many family triumphs through the years and he taught me a lot about our business, but I had so much more to learn from him. So many days when I would get stumped or needed to talk through a problem and would reach for the phone to call John. "I'm out of my office right now, ..." - meaning he wasn't in his Suburban.
My deepest sympathies for your loss and I know it leaves a huge hole in your lives, because it has in mine. My...

My prayers are with John's family through these trying times. I was very fortunate to meet John some 17 or so years ago. Just like Jason stated, at the time I was just a dumb kid. John along with a few other old timers introduced me to Jason and they did take a few chances on us dumb kids but they had faith in us. I thank him for being a great customer, a great giver of advice and mostly, a great friend. He will be greatly missed by many. I always like to end with something witty as John...

I’ve had a professional relationship with John for over 10 years. During those years it made me happy when I would run into John at different facilities. I knew a great story and conversation was about to happen. We had a little joke between us that we seemed to follow each other around all the time. No matter how obscure the location, there was John helping someone solve a problem. I would like his family to know that John was greatly admired and respected and that he will be missed. May...

My deepest sympathies. My fondest memory is of Coach Keller working with the soccer team. Ann, Jay, and Shelley, you all and John have been great neighbors for decades.

John Robert was one of the most influential people in my life. John hired me when I was 22 just after I married my wife, and his niece, Jamie. John taught me how to be a salesman, businessman and to always put integrity and honesty before the sale. In the first few years of my marriage I spent many days fishing with John, his Dad, and his brother Jim, my father in law.
John Robert gave me the opportunity to become successful. He imparted his knowledge and made sure I knew the rules. ...
