Keller Gordon Obituary

Keller Reed Gordon passed away on Feb. 21, 2023. The son of C. Wayne and Althea Gordon, Keller was a Shakespeare and classics scholar and a poet. He loved to play improvised music on his keyboard. He began to suffer from schizophrenia in his early twenties, but managed to graduate with a BA from the University of California at Berkeley nonetheless. He was very charismatic and was always surrounded by a close circle of friends who admired and looked up to him. He had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. He is survived by his sister Kim Althea Gordon and niece Coco Gordon Moore. He was much loved and will be greatly missed.

A huge part of my life in the late 60´s. Tons of memories and in my mind for the last half century. Surfed with him smoked a little pot gym class family meals. Smarter than the rest of us better looking physically and stronger Keller was the man. My life is much better having known him.
