Lawrence David Keller

Lawrence “Larry” David Keller, 77, passed away on October 6, 2026. He was born on October 20, 1948, in San Antonio to Charlie and Bernice (Riedel) Keller. Larry attended St. Gerard’s High School in San Antonio, joined the U.S. Navy and served during the Vietnam War, was an entrepreneur owning several businesses including being the captain of his own shrimp boat among other endeavors. He lived in San Antonio and Rockport for most of his life, but was able to travel across the United States. Larry was a very unique individual who had an independent spirit and determination to live life as he saw fit, never allowing the opinions of others to dictate his path.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Charlie and Bernice; his two brothers, Gary and Terry; and baby sister, Janet. He is survived by his daughter, Staci Shackelford (Rod) and son, Brian Keller; and his three grandsons, Aaron Keller (Julie), Alex Keller and Adam Shackelford. He was able to meet his great granddaughter, Bonnibel Beverly Hernandez-Keller, about a week before his death. He is also survived by the mother of his children, Beverly Keller; and his sisters, Carol Douglass (Dave), Kathy Keller, Karen Fulghum (Mike), and Kay Beall (Jeb); along with numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

A family service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made in his name to Mesothelioma Research.
