I met Jonathan Keller through his sister Britnie, which i met in the 6th grade. Jonathan was always with us in whatever we did. He was just an amazing person to be around and could always make you laugh at the times you just didn't feel possible. He showed me what life was really about and how not to see the bad, but always try to see the good. On my last night in Washington state, New Year's eve, I saw Jonathan and at midnight, he was Stephanie Brencic's and my New Year's eve kiss. I am happy to have had the experience of meeting and getting to know jonathan and his family and he will be remembered always in my heart. Love ya buddy! Sorry it took me so long to write.

I used to go to church with Jon about 6 years ago. He was the sweetest kid. You would never know that he had a illness because he was always smiling and laughing.

I did not know Jonathan very well but I would see him in the hospital when I came in for clean outs also because of CF, I would always hear him laughing with nurses or his friends, or have a smile on his face even when things seemed hard, But I Knew he was a great person and well liked by many people He will be missed dearly.

I had the opportunity and fortune to get to know Jonathan. Through conversations with him and those that knew him, I found him to be full of energy and a value for life. He was always looking to help those around him. He will leave his mark on all of us.

People like this young man do not stay here on earth with us for long. Their time here is short and sweet, and leaves a positive lasting impression on us all, which echoes into eternity.

Jonathans Family-

I met Jonathan in the 6th grade. I was in love with him. He was the sweetest person I have ever met in my life. He showed me how to live each day at the fullest like he did. He always had a big smile on his face. He was never scared or if he was he never showed it, he just went all out with life and did everything that he could. I loved him so much. I will miss him dearly. All of my prayers go to you his family.

I didn't know Jon very well but I have always held him in high regard, for the way he treated people with such respect. He was always positive and I wish I had gotten the chance to get to know him better. He really inspired me on multiple occasions to think twice about my additude towards others. Thank you Jonathan, and God bless your family.

I did not know Jonathan very well, but I have always admired him. He helped me get through some hard situations in my life without even knowing that he did.

Hi- I am an ed-assistant at CHS and I am so happy to have met and befriended Jon over the past 6 years during middle school and high school. He was such an inspiration to all who new him and could make a rainy, dreary day bright and beautiful with his infectious smile. He was a friend to all and mature beyond his years, and we will truly miss you Jon. I will always remember the day you got your license and the huge smile on your face when you shared the news with me. You were so proud & happy that day as you drove away! My thoughts and prayers are with your family and the many friends you have made over the years.

To the Keller Family:

You should be very proud that you raised such a wonderful young man. He in his life brought so much joy to others, he constantly looked at the brighter side of things and brought smiles to our faces all the time. How did he do it? He never let his illness get in the way of what he wanted to do and he always went for the gold. I will truly miss him and he will always hold a place in my heart. His smile will be long remembered. I miss you Jonathan.

I met Jonathan when I was senior in high school and he was a sophomore, in our leadership class. The moment that I met him I knew that he was a blessing from God. He had an uplifting spirit that was contagious when ever you were around him. Even after I graduated, I still saw him when he came into my work or when I saw him at his. He always had a smile on his face and a happiness in his voice. He will be missed by everyone. All of Jonathan's friends and family are in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest sympathy goes out to you all.

We are close personal friends of Randy Keller and know Johnny & Barb as well. We want to express our sincerest sympathy for their loss. I, too, have lost a child and know the devastation. In Jonathan's case, although it is sad he died, it also is a blessing. He is in a happier place now and free from pain.

i only met jonathan once at baskin and robbins. he was obviously having a hard time breathing but it was busy and he was the only one working. i asked him if he was okay and he downplayed it and said that it was alot like asthma and that he was fine. that was only a year ago. he impressed me with his bravery so much that day. i knew it was more severe but his attitute was so exceptional. i saw he had becoming homecoming king and was so pleased, again overwhelmed by his spirit. the world has lost a sweet soul, an example to all.
