John Keller Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
John is survived by his sister Benjean Miguel, daughters Stephanie Bowen and Kim (Shawn) Garland, grandchildren Cora, Brennan, Eve, and cats Brooke and Bradley.
John was a carpenter and fisherman who cherished big opportunities with his family such as many family vacations to Anna Maria Island and those small everyday moments of preparing and enjoying dinner together. John always said, "I never had two nickels to rub together", but when he did, he easily and generously shared it.
The family will celebrate his life privately. Donations can be made in his memory to National Public Radio https://www.npr.org/donations/support or your local stray animal shelter.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

John it´s been a few years man, but I´ll never forget all the great fishing trips on the Cuivre River, up the Missippi River and up the Missouri River. Fishing behind the Windfield dam, Bobs creek, Labbadi hot water ditch, Femme Osage creek mouth. Chasing the crappie! Blowing the boat motor into pieces on the Missouri River when a piece of broken railroad tie jammed into the prop floating down river a mile or so and jumping out holding onto the rope stopping the boat. Then hiking back up river to go make a phone call to Ritterodt to come and tow us back to the boat ramp. Thank you so much for the memories. Keep dobbing brother.
