Preston Keller Obituary
A funeral will be at 2 p.m. today at Alaska Native Lutheran Church, at the corner of 15th Avenue and Cordova Street. A second service will be over the weekend at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Nome. His ashes will be set free over Golovin Bay.
Preston was born Sept. 29, 1988, in Anchorage to Sandi Olin and Robbie Ningeulook, then adopted by Lester Keller Jr. He attended school in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Teller, Shishmaref, Nome and graduated from Martin L. Olson High School on May 19, 2007. He just began his life on his own and worked for Ace Delivery & Moving Inc. at the time of his death. He had plans to attend AVTEC in Seward.
His family wrote: "He was adventurous, outgoing and humorous. He enjoyed the outdoors, loved to hunt, fish, play basketball, cook, work on snowmachines, and swim, especially polar bear swim. He loved cars and could name year, make and model quickly. He was incredibly bright and was a history buff. He attained a near perfect score on his high school qualifying exam, a 71 on the ASVAB military test and seriously considered the Air Force.
"In first grade, Preston wrote all about the military, and his teacher called him 'Sergeant Ningeulook'. In fifth grade, he played Santa in a Christmas play, making the whole crowd laugh. He was on the Fairbanks Lathrop varsity wrestling team his freshman year, the mascot for the 2004 Mix-6 State Volleyball Champions, the Golovin Lynx, and was the coolest person around. When he walked into a room full of people, he walked out with everyone laughing. He was loved by all who knew him and will be missed tremendously. He leaves a great big hole in all our hearts."
Preston is survived by his parents, Lester and Sandi Keller; sisters, Lori and Hattie; brother, Joshua; father and companion, Robbie Ningeulook and Nancy Kokeok; and half-siblings, Austin, Corey, Edgar, Sarah and Sonja of Shishmaref; grandmothers, Vivien Olin of Wales and Ruth Hannah Seetot of Anchorage; many aunts, uncles, cousins; and many, many friends.
Preston was preceded in death by his grandparents, James Olin, Lester Sr. and Martha Keller, Ray and Hattie Ningeulook; uncle, Edgar Ningeulook; cousins, Frederick Nayokpuk and first Amber Ongtowasruk.
True to his generous nature, Preston gave the gift of life through organ donation to make life better for numerous others.

I love you and miss you.
Hurts that you aren't here to grow with us. As Lori grew into an adult I didn't know the new pain she felt as she grew without you. Now that I'm growing into an adult; buying my first house; going to college; thinking of my future without you walking me down the aisle or being an uncle to my children aches my heart everyday. I miss your advice and jokes. Even if we didn't always agree you always had the best interest in mind for your family. I know you're with God and in better place. "Love ya!"

It is impossible for me to even imagine your grief as I have no children and I have never suffered through the death of anyone so close to me. I did not know Preston, other than as a casual acquaintance, but from what I understand, he was a wonderful young man with a lot to offer our world. I also know that he is sorely missed by many.
I pray that God will give you the strength needed to move beyond this tragedy. God Bless you and your family.

I sure love you Son. You are my so handsome son. When we spread your ashes there was a rainbow toward Chinik Creek and when we were leaving Golovin the next day there was a ray of sunshine in the area we set you free. Happy Be-lated Birthday Son! I know you celebrated in Heaven with all those loved ones we have There. I love you so much Son!

When there was Jr. High tournament in Brevig. Preston was there with Daniel McFarland and they were sitting in the lunchroom eating. I went and sat next to them and we all started talking about basketball. He was telling us about how Hattie made the varsity team for Edgecumbe basketball. You can tell he was very proud of his sister making varsity her freshman year. And later during the championship game he was sorta like the leader in cheering for the UNK Jr. high team and that made the whole crowd excited. That would have to be one of my last memories of him.
Sorry, I didn't really check my grammar (stupid of me) but here is the corrected one. Sorry

"He took me today
So I have to tell you....What I have to say.
When He took me, He said,
"Come with me. In heaven you will be with your family, friends.....and with me"
So when I left you, you had to cry.
Because you would miss me.....do I now why?
Because all the fun times we had down there....How you loved me
How you cared.
But don't let saddness take over you.
When you come to be with me,
We will live forever....
In Eternity."
I just remembered that!! I made that poem up how many years ago when my grandpa-uncle Dan died. I just remembered it!! I wanted to sign Preston's guestbook. When I heard of the accident, I cried, really.....really hard. I woke up at 5 in the morning, opened up my can of olives. I'll always remember the times we listened to him and Ben talk in reading class, I was glad for the distraction so I wouldn't have to do my work....lol. God is all-powerful.....I don't know what else to say. I'll miss Preston.

Preston Robin, It was a pleasure to have known you. I met you when you were just a little boy, I used to babysit you and your sisters. I finally got in contact with you just before God called you to go to heaven. I thought "geez, he sure is grown up now, and what a great person you've grown to be." I love you, Meliss

Preston.We had 3 classes together and we only talked every once in a while.Every time that we did has imprinted a great memory in my heart and mind.I think about you every day.Lawrence and I have been getting closer and closer,after your passing our relationship grew soo much stronger and I am honored to be here for him.Your death took a tole on everyone,but your memories that you've left us will ALWAYS over power.The one memory that sticks out in my mind that I think about everyday is when we had Conditioning together.We had to go into the classroom for study hall.You were playing with this mechanical pencil..with a curious look on your face.Just taking it apart trying to do something with it.I was sitting on the other side of you,trying to watch the t.v.,I would glance at you a few times to see what you were trying to do.All of a sudden a piece of it comes flying off and hits you smack dab in the face! You turned to me and said "Did you see that?" I said "Yeah" and we both started laughing.The room was quiet just the sound of the t.v. was heard.After we were laughing everybody looked at us like we were crazy,they must've thought we were laughing at the movie.Usually in conditioning I never got picked to play full court.You were asking why I never played with "the boys".I told you they don't usually pick me,you responded with "I'll try and get captain so I can pick you.You're a good b-ball player for a girl." Thats something I think about every time I pick up a basketball.The few short times we spoke, you made it feel like we'd known each other since we were young.I'm honored to have known you Preston.I know you're watching over Lawrence and I, and everyone else that was lucky enough to know you.

I remember the first time I actually got to know Preston. It was in May of 2005 when he came with us to Kitchavik on a fishing trip. First off, he was gutsy enough to double ride on a motorcycle with Jory the whole way there over the tundra. And the whole time he made us laugh. He pretended he was "hunting" for fish by putting his hand against his forehead looking into the river. I knew right from the start he didn't have to do much to make someone laugh. Often, I'd hear the latest funny stories from Corey about Preston that happened at school. He is one that will always be strongly remembered.

A Message From Heaven
Perhaps you aren't ready yet to have to say good-bye...Perhaps you've thought of things you wish you'd say--well, so have I. For one thing, I'd have told you not to worry about me...I'm with the Lord in Heaven now--you knew that's where I'd be. I'm sorry that you're feeling sad,for I'm so happy now...I've asked the Lord to ease the hurt and comfort you somehow. It's hard at the beginning, but I know you'll make it through....I hope it helps to know that I'll be waiting here for you. May it comfort your family and friends your loved one is with the Lord. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. JOHN 14:3.

Preston, you made it a lot more fun in school...always making everybody laugh. You made it easier to stay awake! You are soo smart too. Thats why I chose you and Skip to be my partners for the academic decathlon. And we got 2nd place! I remember bumping into you late at night and you walked me home. We saw THE coolest purple northern lights. And we were jumping in the puddles to break the thin ice haha. I'll miss talking with you. But we'll all see you again someday.

I had the pleasure of teaching Preston in ninth grade at Lathrop High School. I truly enjoyed watching him grow into a man. He laughed and cried in my classroom, with just about everything else in between. He could change from goofy to serious in a moment, but everyone still liked him. My best wished and sympathies for the family.

I am so glad that Preston was part of the Denali Elementary School family for a part of his life. I enjoyed getting to know him and to watch him grow in to a young man. I appreciated his smile and sense of humor as well as his tenacity for life and what he thought was right at the time. His ability to step back and reflect were the marks of his growing maturity. I am glad that he accomplished much in the following years and developed a goal for where he wanted to go. My thoughts and prayers are with him and the family. Preston holds a special place in my memory and I naturally smile when I think of him. He was -is- special and I feel enriched for having known him.

Preston-
I am so proud of you- finished high school and off to the Big City for a job. All that hard work on homework and school paid off. I saw pictures of you at graduation on the web. You looked so sharp and happy you ladykiller! I haven't seen you in a while but I hoped to run into you some time. Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer. So many people loved you in so many ways. I will miss you and your never ending smile, your kind heart, sense of humor and love of sports (except Kobe Bryant!). I hope the fishing is good in Heaven.

Sandi, Les & Family, we are keeping you all in our prayers. Memories are precious, I remember teasingly interogating Preston at our Native Store about who he was and where he came from and who his parents were... he started chuckling when I told him "I would ski against your Mom when we were in Highschool that's why I wanted to know who your parents were" he couldn't believe we were on skis before.
Love and thoughts are with you, Boober & Family

Sandie you are very strong and you have a big heart for all that youve been through. You make me look up to you and see such a strong women, mom, and role model. i didnt really know preston all that much but i still remember the last time i saw him in person and ill never forget it. this was when i was maybe 8 or 9 i think,
it was my mom, aunt madelon, and my sister and i n we all were gonna drive down to fairbanks for the week. and i just remember the drive bein so long and boring, but when we got there sandie hattie and my mom, aunt, sister and i all went to chinese food n then we went home.
the next day we all went to the hot springs
but i will always remember him and someday all of us will be able to see him again.
