To the Keller family.We were deeply saddened to hear about Ian's untimely death. Although we're hundreds of miles away we are sharing in your pain. Our two years in Stroudsburg were pleasantly spent watching Ian play soccer and basketball with Landon. He helped create some wonderful memories for us! You will continue to be in our prayers as we ask the God of all comfort to be close to you. Psalm 34:18 states," The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Stephen, Eileen, Landon & Bryce Nelson

My thoughts and prayers are with the Keller family in this sad time. From Sunday school, YMCA soccer, to Little league and even my first concert; Ian and I shared many great times. We spent many hours(it seamed like) in the lunch line together talking about "that" concert. Those times as well as others will be remembered forever. I'm not very good at this, but I'm trying...I've known you all of my life and will never forget you, your passion for sports(and Nike), and probably the most memorable for me was your laugh. Forever missed and loved.

It's very hard for me to sit here and just write down a few thoughts and memories about Ian because there are so many that I can remember and think of that I would need a book to put them all together. From being one of my first and best friends growing up, and all the birthdays, sports events and other crazy stuff we did, it's so hard thinking that your gone. You were a good person who had a heart and cared about others. I just want to express my deepest condolences to the entire Keller family and to know that Ian will never be forgotten in my mind and the minds of others. I will see you soon again buddy.

Mr. and Mrs. Keller and Family, I am really sorry to hear about Ian. For the last 17 years I have known Ian and he was such a great person. He was such a good friend to me, as well as our other friends. Ian will be greatly missed and I know I will never be able to forget him. Through out the rest of my life on earth I will always take a piece of Ian with me, no matter what it is, his smile, the talks we used to have, the nights we just hung out, I want you to know how much he ment to all of us. I really loved him and he will be forever missed.

The Keller family, I want to send my deepest condolences in your time of sorrow. Ian was a good friend who was there through everything from soccer, to basketball, to baseball, to just about any occasion. The memories are just too many to be written and will never be expressed the way they deserve through words. Please know that you can always contact me and talk about anything. I have gone through so much myself that now it is my turn to help comfort. I am sorry that I will be unable to make it home for the service but know I will be there with you then and always. You are in my prayers. With much love and sorrow, Andrew Ace

E, I can't believe how much I miss you. Everytime I think of you all I can think of is your wonderful smile. I still have the coursage you gave me from our 8th grade formal, and I keep thinking of all the fun times we had, like LBI, the prom, all the games. Esp. New Years at Dreibe's house. I miss you so much. I know you're looking down on us, smiling. I love you always, Ian Kenneth.
