Leslie James "Les" Keller passed away on March 16, 2015 in Windsor, CO. Les was born to David and Sophia Busch Keller on their farm southeast of Mingo, KS in Thomas County on June 8, 1926.

He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers: Daniel and Ben, and three sisters: Ruth Keller, Mary Keller, and Rebecca Keller, along with grandsons, Jeremy Keller and Konnel Keller; sister-in-law Wanda Keller and brother-in-law Paul Bedore.

On April 12, 1955, Les married Geraldine (Jeri) Shull from Colby, KS.

Les honorably served our country in the U.S. Army for two years. Les was in agri-business, as he truly enjoyed farming and the cattle business.

He highly valued and appreciated this Truth of God until his death.
