Mathew Lee Keller
December 10, 1980- September 8, 2017
In memory of my beautiful beloved son Mathew, who was funny, loving, smart, and so kind and giving to others.
Mathew was fluent in French, a talented and skilled mason with bricks blocks and rocks, learning and working along side his dad and uncle as a youngster. He beat his addiction and was gloriously happy and grateful to be finally living his life the way he felt God intended for several years. Sadly he wasn’t prepared for a sudden tragedy in the family and he relapsed. During the following year my son begged and begged for help for his addiction and grief with no results. Finally a date for a bed came up for rehab and would be available on the 14th of Sept. on the 2nd of Sept my son took a poisonous supply- street fentanyl. He lay in a coma with us holding his hands until the 8th when he took his last breath on his own.
My son is forever 36 now, but his huge acts of kindness to others along with his final loving act of “signing to be an organ donor” which has helped a man to live a longer life will be remembered always and the love Mathew shared with us, his family, will be felt in our hearts forever. RIP my sweet beautiful son.
