Lee Keller

September 14, 1939 — March 22, 2024

Lee Keller, age 84, of Corbin, KY, passed away at home on Friday, March 22, 2024.


Born in Royal Oak, MI, Lee was the son of the late Leonard Keller and Marion Phillips Keller. In everything he did, Lee was both disciplined and devoted. While he

was strong and courageous, he was equally gentle and kind. Not only were those qualities present in his life, but through love, he passed them on to the next generation

in his family. He also possessed a sense of humor that people couldn’t help but enjoy (even if they tried).


Lee was a veteran of the United States Navy, where he served as a supply officer during the Vietnam War. Following his military career, he held a variety of sales

positions from real estate to high tech panels and labels. He was a gifted piano player, a talent which brought him and his family and friends great joy. However, what

brought Lee the most joy was his faith and his family. He was an owner at Immanuel Baptist Church, where his passion for discipleship and teaching others was evident.

He was proud of his children and grandchildren and cherished his relationship with each of them. For over 40 years, he was the loving husband and soulmate of Lynne.

They were devoted to each other and devoted to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Their love will last forever.


Besides his wife, Lynne, he is also survived by his children, Jennifer Altgilbers (Dan) of Naperville, IL, Craig Keller (Claris) of Chicago, IL, Kirsten Dewberry (Jerry) of Sarasota, FL, Wendy DesAutels (Desi) of Traverse City, MI, Eric Keller (Lisa) of Barbourville, KY, and Kaaryn McCall (Shon) of Middle River, MD; two brothers, Barry Keller (Sue) of

Harrisville, MI, and Wayne Keller of Clarkston, MI; eight grandchildren, Lauren Keller, Jessica Gomez (Josiah), Christian Keller, Matthew Keller, Anna Keller,

Rebecca Keller, Sarah Keller, and Steven Keller.


Visitation will be held from 1-2pm on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, at Immanuel Baptist Church in Corbin. A memorial service will follow at 2pm with Pastor Brett

Martin officiating. Honorary Pallbearers will be Eric Keller, Christian Keller, Matthew Keller, David Hopper, Randy Flynn, Jon Hawk, Felix Ramirez, and Joe Myers.


Military honors will be conducted by American Legion Post #88 - Honor Guard.
