Gregory Keith Keller

Gregory "Greg" Keith Keller passed away quietly in the stillness of the early morning on Tuesday, January 28th, 2025, in Minot, ND, at the age of 78 surrounded by his family.
Greg was born March 19th, 1946, in Minot and raised on the family farm in Verendrye, ND. He was the eldest of eleven children of Leo and Mary (Bossert) Keller. As a young boy, he was an adventurous explorer, playful, gentle, caring and loved to play with his dog Schnuckles.
Greg attended elementary schooling at Falson Township in Verendrye, ND and graduated from Karlsruhe High School in 1964. He attended Minot State University with focused studies in the field of botany.
Greg was drafted into the Army in 1966 and served 18 months in Kaiserslautern, Germany as a maintenance technician distributing supplies during the Vietnam War.
On August 12th, 1967, Greg married Marie A. Sauvageau at St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Belfield, ND. They made their lifelong home in Minot, ND. Greg and Marie were blessed with three children, Dione, Tim and Scott. Surrounding their lives with family, faith and fellowship brought great joy to their married life.
Greg was a great talent. A master of woodworks, finishing, gardening and most everything else. There was not a problem he could not fix, remedy or offer practical advice about. His observant eye captured the detail of God's creation which in turn inspired his gentle nature and loving heart.
Greg is survived by his wife of 58 years, Marie, daughter Dione (Kevin), and sons Tim (Angie) and Scott (Christi), eight grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, 10 brothers and sisters: Shirley Anne Keller, Sam (Joyce) Keller, David (Judy) Keller, Chuck (Annette), Jacqueline Peltier, Roberta (Nicholas) Simulcik-Abel, Antoinette (John) Brusseau, Edwardina (Harold) Busch, Judith Lang, Casey Keller and numerous nieces and nephews and many other family members and friends.
Greg was preceded in death by his parents, and great-granddaughter Elsie Therese Peterson, brothers-in-law David Simulcik and Marc Lang.
