Coach Keller & Family,
Please know during this very difficult
time you're in my thoughts. As we go through life, MEMORIES are one of the greatest things we can truly treasure,
because nobody can take them from us.
Cherish Corey's memories & stay strong!
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I had the pleasure of working with Corey during my Dale Carnegie training class. Although most of our conversations were on the phone, I was lucky enough to meet him once in person. My heart goes out to his entire family. May you find peace in knowing that he is in a better place and God has received another Angel to watch over us.

Corey,
To a wonderful man that was blessed to have had a life of great love with his three beautiful daughters and an amazing wife. Corey my memories of you go way back to when you guys just had Carisa. Watching the way you cared for her when Tricia was at work on weekends and nights. Many man would never work all day then come home to have to care for their kids after a long day at work. You were that wonderful man. You leave your girls and Tricia the most amazing gift that some live a life time without,and that Is the Power Of Love. Memories last a life time. Your love will live through your girls forever. Until we all call on an angel..
