Albert Dean Keeler, 79, beloved husband, father, grandfather and
brother, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 20, 2017 in

Blaine Keeler & LaDean Callister. He married Linda Barlow in the St.
George Temple on April 27, 1968 and together they have 5 children.
Al joined the Navy right out of high school and was
stationed in Alameda, CA. He then served an honorable LDS mission to the
Central States. After his mission he served in the Air Force & Army

only surpassed by his love for his wife and family.
Albert served faithfully in many different callings as
a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He and
Linda served a mission in Auckland, New Zealand as Employment
Specialists. Al loved working at the Family History Center and serving
in the Temple. He was able to serve as a volunteer in the baptistery for
6 years. He loved traveling to see his children and grandchildren. He
was a man of few words but loved his family and the gospel.

children, Paula (Aaron) Wallace, Alan (Annette) Keeler, Kirt (Amberly)
Keeler, Matt (Kendall) Keeler and Shiree (Andrew) Wright; 22
grandchildren and a soon to be great-grandson. He is also survived by
two sisters, Ann (David) Mason and Lois Anderson, and a brother, Jay
(Karen) Keeler. He is preceded in death by his parents and younger
brother Leslie.
