Obituary
Josiah Samuel Keller, age 24, of
Normal, Illinois, left this earth to find his
eternal peace with the Lord on November 4, 2021.
A young man with a huge heart, a
ready smile, and a genuine concern for humanity,
Josiah was gifted with artistic talent, and he
dedicated countless hours, days, and years
perfecting his craft of playing the electric guitar.
He created many beautiful compositions which many of
us were lucky enough to have been blessed with. He
discovered a passion for reading and would converse
for hours upon philosophical arguments that far
surpassed the comprehension of his many listeners.
At the season of his untimely death, he was looking
to acquire a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and
psychology, desiring to one day utilize those ideas
to make the world a better place.
All who knew Josiah can attest that in his short
life he was a personable, fun-loving son, brother,
and friend. He left behind many who recognized how
special and beautiful was his soul. |
Josiah was born on February 28, 1997, in Mattoon, Illinois. He
lived most of his life in Lincoln, Illinois, where he attended Lincoln Community
High School and Lincoln College. Surviving are his parents, Ron and Cindy; his
brother Ethan and his sister Annagrace; and his three-week old nephew Sawyer,
all of Lincoln. He is preceded in death by his grandfather Clarence Keller in
2016.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, November 13, 2021, at 11 a.m. in
the Fellowship Center at Lincoln Christian Church in Lincoln, Illinois. Friends
and family are invited to join us in remembering his spirit and his life.
Holland Barry & Bennett Funeral Home is assisting the family.
