Ronald David Keller

Ronald David Keller, age 74, of Fremont, Indiana passed away on Friday, November 17, 2023 at Parkview Regional Medical Center, Fort Wayne, Indiana. He was born on February 19, 1949 in Coldwater, Michigan to David and Oma (Howard) Keller. Known as the first baby born into the Fremont Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, Ron was raised from a young age to love and appreciate his creator .He dedicated his life to doing God's will, and was baptized on July 7, 1965. As Ron grew older he met his faithful wife Wilma, and on August 16, 1969 they settled into the family homestead and started a family of their own. Together they raised their boys, constantly surrounding themselves with friends, and family, and staying close to the congregation and their beloved spiritual family. Ron faithfully served as a congregation elder for much of his adult life, he loved staying busy and with his creative brain, he was always engineering new inventions and writing poetry for loved ones. After Ron lost his dear wife in 2017, he retired and closed his janitorial supply business, Best Klean Products, in Fremont, Indiana, after over 40 years of business to the surrounding communities. He then reconnected with a childhood friend that soon took him into the next stage of life. Ron married his loving wife Carol, on July 14, 2018. Since Carol knew the same sting of death, from losing her daughter, Jennifer,they bonded in their hope of the resurrection and the prospect of growing young again on a paradise earth. Together they formed an even larger family and gained the companionship and love that they both needed at this stage of their lives. Ron leaves a wonderful spiritual heritage through his family; wife, Carol Keller of Fremont, Indiana, children, Ramon Keller of Walton, Indiana, Isaac (Stacie) Keller of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Keith (Ann) Keller of Fremont, Indiana, Jacques (Marie) Ouellette of Bradenton, Florida, and Jordan Holmes of Sarasota, Florida, seven grandchildren, Tristan (Jasmine), Quinton, Aidan, Emma, Isabela, Geneva and Naomi Keller, and two great-granddaughters, Camila and Harlow Keller.
