Clayton "Butch" Keller Jr.

Clayton “Butch” Keller, age 79, passed away on August 6, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of stories, laughter, and the steady presence of a man who loved the outdoors and the people around him. He found his greatest joys in hunting, fishing, his dogs, and talking with anyone willing to share a moment. Clayton had a gift for conversation — he could turn a simple chat into a memory worth keeping.

Those who knew him will remember the way he talked about his dog, his life experiences, and his family. His warmth, humor, and easygoing nature made him someone people naturally gravitated toward.

Clayton is survived by his loving wife Karen of 58 years, his daughter, Sarah; his son, Bryan; his daughter‑in‑law, Shawnmarie; his granddaughter, Willow; his sister, Mary; and his brother, Ken — all of whom brought him endless pride and joy. He is preceded in death by his infant son, Gavin, whom he held close in his heart every day.

His family will carry forward his stories, his lessons, and the steady kindness he shared so freely. Clayton’s memory will live on in the conversations he started and the jokes he told.
