MICHAEL EDWARD KELLER
November 09, 1945 ˜ February 16, 2021
His greatest joy in life were his wife and nine children. He will be greatly missed and was deeply loved and cherished.
Mike began his final journey Feb. 16, 2021. He lived on Camano Island, WA. He graduated from Jesuit High School, Seattle University and Willamette Law school. Mike then served two years in the army as a sergeant in the 1st cavalry air mobile in Vietnam .
Mike then practiced law in Portland, OR, and Kirkland, WA, and settling down in Stanwood, WA. His home on Camano Island was 30 feet from Puget Sound and the family enjoyed boating, fishing, swimming and harvesting seafood from their backyard. Mike was a proficient mechanic and rebuilt several engines and tinkered with cars and tractors over the years.
His youth was spent on his dads ranch in Glenwood, WA, learning about cows, horses, haying and working on machinery.
He is survived by his wife, Shari; nine children, and 12 grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. Keith and Mary Ann Keller. His siblings are Pat Emrich (Scott), Tom Keller (Cheryl), Dan Keller all from Washougal, WA, and Lisa Keller, Scottsdale, AZ.
Mikes greatest gift were his stories from a remarkable memory, his humor and entertaining for hours with his real gift of “gab” about every issue.
He will be greatly missed.

Mike was a 2nd cousin on my mother's side, and I remember meeting him and his siblings at a family visit as a child - I remember the visit fondly because he was fun to be around. I'm sorry to see another member of the Price family die - Mike is missed. Love and sympathy to all who knew him.

Mike hired me to work for him straight out of legal secretary school. I went on to spend 11 years working in his Bellevue law office and later in Lynnwood. Greatest boss ever!! Busy work days, but always an element of fun. He was genuine. He was honest. He was good. He cared. He was a special person. I never met any of his family, but I can say that I know all their names because he always talked about them and was exceedingly proud. I was so sorry to learn of his health decline and passing. Rest in peace, old friend.

Great man! He lived a full life and was blessed in so many ways, especially with all of his family. I enjoyed every minute we spent time together because he was so entertaining with his stories. Never a dull moment with Mike. May he Rest In Peace. I’m sure he’s telling jokes to all the relatives that have gone before him. They will embrace him with open arms.
My condolences and love to the Keller family.
