Richard Nelson ‘Rick’ Keller
July 18, 1953 – July 19, 2025
Keller
Richard Nelson “Rick” Keller, 72, passed away unexpectedly at his home in Longs, S.C., on July 19, 2025. He was the son of Dorothy and Richard Keller.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Denise; his parents; and a very special Honey and Pup (Laverne & Ed Laskosky), who helped make him the amazing man he was.
Rick was a lifelong lover of sports, especially basketball. He very proudly played for the Johnstown Trojans “#34 in your program and #1 in your hearts” and would tell anyone who would listen about those glory days.
He is survived by his three children: Amanda (AJ Daugherty), Alyssa (Ryan Stoltz) and Jace; three grandchildren: Rylan, Parker and Madyn, whom he absolutely adored and was their biggest fan; his sister, Debbie; and several cousins who felt like sisters.
He was never short on words, easy to spot in a crowd and could turn anything into a joke. He was larger than life, loved by many and will be missed deeply.
Friends will be received from 2 until the 4 p.m. memorial service Friday, Aug. 15, 2025, at Grace Fellowship Church, 14 Brethren Lane, Duncansville.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice in his honor.
