Michael "Mike" Gene Keller, 77, of Fayette County, passed away Thursday, April 7, 2022. He enjoyed his last days in the home of his dreams with his beloved wife, Rickie Keller. He was a fearless, intelligent, forward-thinking man whose beloved orneriness and gentle manner will be deeply missed.
Mike grew up in a farmhouse back a long gravel lane, where he learned how to farm and work hard. His resourceful, resilient nature was obtained and nurtured by his parents, Francis & Margret Keller, brother John Keller, sister Mary-Francis Barnhizer (Barney), who preceded him in death, and his brother Larry Keller (Nancy), who survives. He was an accomplished draftsman at Roots Blower Company in Connersville, but after 8 years, he happily took off the tie and went back to his real loves: farming, cattle, kids, and impromptu storytelling.
Mike is survived by his wife, Rickie Keller (Davis), his children Jacquèe Keller-Ridenour (Darren), Shelley Gray (Trent), Melissa Friend (Gary), Jon Keller (Jen Carver), Kari Simpkins (Mark), and Caleb Koons (Julia), 17 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
Memorial contributions in his honor may be made to the Fayette County 4-H Support Group, 401 Central Ave, Connersville, IN 47331. Contributions in his honor can also be made to the American Cancer Society.
Visitation for Mike will be held on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, from 4:00 pm until 8:00 pm at Miller, Moster, Robbins Funeral Home, Connersville. The funeral service will begin at 11am on Thursday, April 14, 2022, at the funeral home with Pastor Frank Oakman, of First United Methodist Church, officiating. Burial will follow in Lick Creek Cemetery
