Richard "Rick" Keller, Jr.

November 17, 1956 - December 21, 2021

Richard “Rick” Keller, Jr., 65, of Owensboro, went to meet his Higher Power on Tuesday, December 21, 2021 at his home after a hard-fought battle with alcoholism. Rick was born on November 17, 1956 to the late Richard Keller Sr. & Evelyn Keller in Pittsburgh, PA. He was a lifelong, devout Steelers fan who bled black & gold through and through.

Rick retired after spending nearly 50 years as a flooring contractor. He was also a friend of Bill W. for 30 years. Rick & his family will be forever grateful to the many brothers & sisters he met along the way. He helped many on their own journeys, but ultimately could no longer help himself. We loved him anyways.

He made sure to pass on his love for chipped ham & all things Steeler Nation to his daughters & grandsons by spending every Sunday screaming at the TV, rubbing the Troll doll, giving whammies in the tight spots, with Terrible Towels in hand. (It’s only weird if it doesn’t work, right?)

He is survived by his daughters, Ashley Keller-Bratcher, Sarah Keller, and Bailey Keller, all from Owensboro; grandsons, Dylan Asher Bratcher and William Richard Bratcher; sisters, Diane Wells (Steve) of Loudon, TN and Joyce Berry of Pittsburgh, PA; along with several beloved cousins; he also leaves behind his faithful companion, his dog, Ebby T.

Services will be private at a later time. James H. Davis Funeral Home & Crematory is in charge of arrangements.
