Ryan was born on December 23, 1980 to Robert Keller and Shirley (Martin) Keller in Hettinger, ND.  He grew up in Mott, ND and moved to Le Sueur, MN in 1998 to be near his mother.  He began working at Le Sueur Inc. and was there for 12 years before he decided to pursue a career in welding. Ryan was an unbelievable handyman that could assist with any type of project. He truly enjoyed restoring International tractors, designing and creating woodwork, and welding projects. When he was not doing those activities you would find him smoking meat, hunting and fishing with his black lab Missy, listening to country music, especially Johnny Cash, or following one of his favorite sports teams, Twins, Raiders, or the Timberwolves. He always enjoyed board games and playing cards with family.

Ryan is survived by his mother, Shirley Keller and her husband, Dean Bauleke of Le Sueur; father, Robert Keller and his former wife, Edna Blickensderger of Mott, ND; siblings, Robbie Keller of Mott and Jen (Mike) Shafer of Cottage Grove, MN; nephew, Payton Shafer of Cottage Grove; grandfather, Robert Martin of Mott; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He is preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Margie Martin; and paternal grandparents, Anton and Lena Keller.
