To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My sincere condolences to Troy's children, family and friends for the loss of a man who was always nice to me and my family. I know Troy was dedicated to his kids always being there at baseball games, taking them skiing and golfing and just being there for them. I know he is missed, but he is in a better place and the pain is gone. My prayers are with you all during this tough time.

To your family, please know that you are in our hearts and prayers. It's hard to know how someone has touched your life until they are gone.
Troy, your dedication to baseball and the rest of the sports world will always be something remembered by our entire family, you are fondly in the memories of our great tournament in Mesquite along with all the local and traveling games. The kindness you shared for the entire team made us to feel as part of your family. That kindness was not taken lightly or for granted, but greatly appreciated. Your pain was left unknown to most of the team while continuing to be an amazing example of strength, compassion and heart.
It is with much love and great respect that we say our goodbye's and knowing in our hearts that you are without the pain any longer.

In my life I have spent most of it alone behind walls and can tell you of how much I value freedom. There are walls that people create and unfortunately live behind them most of their life. If I could offer any help I would say that this should be a time of breaking down the walls in our life and realizing how short life really is. Troy did that by believing in me and looking at me as to what I could achieve and become. Because of this my life has changed and I can only offer prayers of comfort to his family and friends. If your love for him is as mine, then you will know that he only wants us to be happy. I love and miss you Troy and we shall see each other again. If I can be of help to any one, my number is 801-819-0598. Thank you Kellers for bringing me into your family. I love you.

I am remembering my wonderful Son-in-law and I'll never forget his beautiful smile that would just light up the room. Troy and I always got along and I never ever remember a cross word between us. I'll never forget the time we were camping in the California Sierra Mountains. Troy and Kathleen and the kids had a big tent and I had my small tent away from them. I woke up one morning with Troy yelling, "Sandra, there's a bear going around your tent." I sat up wondering do I open the tent door and run or do I wait for the bear to tear into my tent? After awhile Troy yelled, "The bear's moved away come get in the truck." I ran to the truck and jumped in. There was Troy, Kathleen, Tavis and Brendan. " I said, "Where's Savannah?" They had left her asleep in the tent. Well then the bear came back and was going around the tent where Savannah was sleeping. Troy started honking the horn, yelling and when the bear didn't leave he got out of the truck and started throwing rocks at the bear, and yelling at the bear all the while. The bear finally left the camp and Troy had saved us all. We had so many fun times camping, and going to so many baseball games and tournaments. Near the end of Troy's ordeal, I told him to go to the light and to pray to Jesus. He told me he had been seeing light and that he was praying to Jesus. I know Troy has went home, that he is just fine and that all is well with him. I love you Troy and I'll see you again when it's my time to go home.

I first met Troy at the age of eighteen straight out of High School. We were in St. George, Utah working for a company called Crest Liners. He had a very dry sense of humor and was very driven. One of those people you feel drawn too. A person who didn't have to say much to prove anything to anyone. We were married for over 8 years and together over 15. He provided me with the best gift anyone could ask for, three beautiful children: Tavis William 17, Brendan Shannon 15, and Savannah Claire 10. I know that even though he is no longer here physically, he is looking down on us. It gives me great peace to know he finally knows how all of us feel about him. We love you Troy and always will. You will be a part of us always and we will never forget you but include you in every celebration. My children have there own Guardian Angel. Here's to all the good times, the bad times, the laughter, the tears, that only can be experienced by a husband and wife. All our love, Kathleen, Tavis, Brendan and Savannah

I would like to take this opportunity to offer my condolences to the entire Keller family & namely to his children. Troy was a great man & wonderful father who provided for his family. I have known Troy most of my life & feel truly blessed to have known him. He had a great sense of humor with an even temperment & seemingly,there was always a smile on his face. To his children: 'Be strong,know that your loving daddy is in a much better place now,free of pain. Know now that Earthly,he could only keep an eye on you some of the time whereas now,he can keep an ever watchful eye on you from above. He will always be alive as he lives through you.'
Sincerely,Jason Carter & family.

my thoughts and prayers for the family. I remember the day i meet troy working at crest liners about 17-18 years old, since that day on we have become great best friends. when we traveld to diffrent parts of towns or states, we always had a great time, he always was better meeting girls than i ever did.but it always work one way or another.he was always one heck of a worker. we'ed always compete against each other of who's the best. as time moved on he went to run a business of his own with mike whilley and larry Mcguire.and i move to florida jacksonville for work. he had helped me move my hole family to florida and that one very good friend u could ever have. he did not want to go back to s.l.c. he loved it at fl. but we flew him backto salt lake city.i sure will miss him. his just one of those friends hard to find. i will miss him and us chatting on the phone and emails.here is my cell #904-838-8678 .id love to talk to the family, and they have been very good to me always.. i'll miss him. there's so much more i can tell, but it never ends. and never any bad times we've had and if we did, we'ed go and have drink and laugh.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Troy was a great friend and neighbor.
My children thought it was the greatest thing in the world when they were at Troy's house and watched him use a electric can opener. Troy called laughing at how amazed they kids were by this. The next day we came home to find a new electric can opener on our front doorstep with a red bow. These little gestures are what made Troy special person.
We enjoyed many baseball trips together and watching our kids play ball.
He will be missed by all..

I am a longtime of friend of both Kathleen and Troy Keller. I was there when we all first met nearly 20 years ago, before any of us knew they would be wed and produce such a wonderful family. I am also the mother of Ian Willey, who is son to Mike Willey who also loved Troy very much. Kathleen, you and the kids will be taken care of, the Lord is watching. Troy is home now and he would want say how much he loved you. Everyone should take this time to come together and rejoice.
