I recall him attending most if not all of Patrick's concerts. He also regluarly supported the activities of the Friends of Music. I am so sorry for your loss.

Kevin was one of the most compassionate and insightful people I have met. I offer my deepest condolences to his wife and family. His spirit and his counsel will remain with me forever.
I am singing Bernstein's Chichester Psalms and Ernest Bloch's Sacred Service with the Skidmore Chorus on Saturday December 5th. I will dedicate my small portion of that concert to his memory, and to all who love and miss him.

I am so sad that Dr. Keller has been taken from his family and everyone that he has touched in this life. I had the pleasure of getting to know Dr. Keller when my daughter was batteling an eating disorder. He was kind, caring and helped us understand and overcome what was happening to her. I am forever in his debt for giving me back my beautiful child. May his wife and children know that he changed our lives forever and we are eternally grateful! May you find peace in knowing that on this earth he touched so many in such positive ways!

I remember a day that Kevin ransacked that whole office building looking for a crayon for me...(long story). He checked Laurel's office first, nothing. So he ran down the stairs, I heard him rummaging through various locations...this took some time! Finally, he returned with a huge smile and a purple crayon. And yes, I still have that crayon.
Thank you, Kevin for caring that much.
And thank you so very much to Kevin's family for giving him the love and support he needed to do that tough job.
Kevin helped me change my life in some truly wonderful ways. I am very grateful.
It’s hard to believe that such a strong man is gone. I’m still shaking my head in disbelief.
He was such a blessing in my life.

I IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK TO THE DAYS AT THE UNIVERSITY OR OUR PROFESSIONAL MEETINGS AND THE SOCIAL TIMES AND LUNCHES WE WOULD OCCASSIONALLY SHARE.KEVIN WAS ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS. ONE OF THE MOST HONORABLE, RESPECTED AND CAPABLE PSYCHOLOGISTS I KNEW. MORE THAN THAT HE WAS A GOOD, LOVED AND DECENT DAD, FAMILY MAN AND PARTNER. WE WILL ALL MISS HIM

My deep condolences to Laurel and all of Kevin's family. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Kevin's giftedness as a psychologist was unparalleled. More than that, Kevin was one of those rare human beings who is totally genuine -- he wore no masks. Kevin radiated kindness and optimism, and used his keen intellect for the benefit of others. He had a lively sense of humor and often used a playful story to make a point. It is hard to imagine that this lively, warm and caring man is no longer with us.
Kevin touched so many lives, and I am but one of the many who will dearly miss him. Kevin will live on in my heart.

It is both wonderful and sad to read all of these comments about Kevin. All of them confirm what I had already believed - that Kevin was a kind, genuine, funny, caring, selfless, strong, compassionate, wise man. I will miss him very much and my prayers go to his family. I feel so fortunate to have known Kevin..he was such an amazing man, and as many have said, he will continue to live on through the lives of everyone whom he met. I'll miss you, Kevin, and thank you for being such a good person to me and countless others.

Kevin helped me when I was at the lowest point in my life ushering me into the happiest period of my life. We only new each other briefly and it was several years ago but I will never forget him.
My condolences go out to all of Kevin's family.

I only knew Dr. Keller from bringing my daughter to him as a patient. He was a very compasionate man/doctor. He was a tremendous help to her. He got her off of meds she was taking for her anxiety. He treated us with utmost respect. He was more like a friend than a doctor.

I come here often, visit with Kevin and listen to the music. Maybe there is a way to make something else? Some online place to visit, and just sit with him? Sometimes it helps to come here, see his face, and talk to him again.

still haven't found anyone like Kevin Keller. Is it true this is not going to be here? I have it on my desktop, look at it so often. understand why family would need to move on, but please know this site has been great comfort to a lost soul who does not think will ever find a way again, ever. Kevin helped me so much, but I wasn't finished with the work. Very lost, Kevin you are in my heart, but you are not there to really help. Life is so unfair. Laurel and family, I'm so sorry for all of you to lose Kevin.

I drove past his office today and noticed the flowering trees blossoming. It bothered me that the trees get to come back to life, to bud and bloom again, and Kevin does not.
I shared this with him once. It’s part of a poem by Galway Kinnell:
“The bud stands for all things, even for those things that don't flower, for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing; though sometimes it is necessary to reteach a thing its loveliness, to put a hand on its brow of the flower and retell it in words and in touch it is lovely until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing�.
This is what he did for me. He helped me flower from within.
