Noah Gabriel Keller
Our beloved Noah Gabriel Keller, age 12 went to be with the Lord on Thursday, June 10, 2010, a victim of an unfortunate accident.
Noah was born on December 28, 1997 to Joe and Lia Keller in Billings, Montana. Noah was the youngest of 5 children and held a special place in his family's hearts and was the light of their lives.
Noah was a caring young man and always had a smile for everyone, especially younger children who he would always make time for. He was very full of life and enjoyed playing sports, he was a good athlete blessed with exceptional size, speed and heart. One of his dreams was to be a Central Ram and win state championships in football and basketball. Unfortunately his dreams will have to be fulfilled through his teammates. Noah is survived by his Mother Lia, Father Joe, Brothers Jordon, Kristoffer and Zachariah, his sister Elizabeth, Grandmother Arliss Keller and many Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. We will miss you!
Noah, you are our sunshine, our little sunshine. . .
Cremation has taken place. Vigil services will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday June 15 and the Funeral Mass on Wednesday June 16 at 10 a.m., both at the Ralph Nelles Activities Center at Billings Central High School.
Memorials may be made to the Noah Keller Scholarship Fund C/O The Billings Catholic Schools Foundation P.O. Box 31158 Billings, MT 59107.

Lia & Joe,
We are the neighbors that are in the next house west when you lived
across the street. Noah was a little boy then and one lovely spring
evening Lia and Noah were walking down the sidewalk in front of our
house. I was working in the yard as I do frequently. Lia commented
on what a nice day it was. I agreed it was a very nice day.
Noah, with great enthusiasm and joy bubbling from his soul,
exclaimed, “It's more than just a nice day – it's FANTASTIC!” Not
only did I find his remark delightful but was somewhat awed that
such a young boy had an awareness and appreciation beyond his years.
That one exuberant comment has stuck with me and will be in my
memory always.
I am sadden that I will no longer hear the thump of Noah's
basketball from down the street.
We are deeply sorry for your loss and send our most sincere
condolences.
Jim and Dianne McDermand

you. May god hold all of you close at this most difficult time and
give you the strength to move ahead. We share in the pain and sorrow
that has moved into your lives. You are in our constant thoughts and
prayers. Please accept the love of our family at this time of
sorrow.
May the Love of God Bless all of You

For Lia and Joe and Family, There are no
words to relieve the tremendous heartache and pain what you are
going through. Our heart goes out to you and your family. May god
bless and give you comfort. My daughter Julianna and Noah was
classmates since the primary building. Noah was so special to us and
he also made us laugh.
He will be missed!
John, Andrea, Tyler and Julianna Arellano
Joe, Lia and Family –
Words cannot begin to express the sorrow we feel for your loss of
Noah.
Noah was such wonderful boy. He was so friendly and uplifting
whenever we
saw him – usually at tournaments. His infectious spirit really had
an effect on our
kids as well as us as adults. We hope that memories and family
support will
provide you with the comfort needed to get throught this very
difficult time.
You are in our thoughts and may God bless you with strength in this
time of
sorrow.
Mark, Dani, Alli and Connor Kieckbusch
My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Keller family. With kids of my own I cannot even imagine how unbelievable this tragedy must be for your family. Trust that God will pull you through this.
Sincerely,
Dwan Edwards
