Terry Keller

Terry Keller, a beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on August 6, 2025, in Rockport, Texas, at the age of 67. Born on December 31, 1957, in San Antonio, to Charles and Bernice Keller, Terry was known for his adventurous spirit and versatility, immersing himself in various roles throughout his life. From humble beginnings, he moved to Rockport in 1974, where he embraced the rich coastal life, becoming a shrimper, dock builder, skilled drummer, and dedicated pool technician. Terry was truly a jack of all trades, always willing to lend a hand or share a story, embodying the essence of hard work and community.

Terry is survived by his beloved wife of 25 years, Manda, whose love and support were central to his life. Together, they created a warm and nurturing home filled with laughter and cherished memories. He took great pride in his daughter, Noelle, who was a source of joy and inspiration in his life. His legacy continues through his adoring grandchildren: Luca, Asher, Melanie, and Sammy, who will carry forward his spirit and zest for life.

His warmth extended beyond immediate family, as he is also survived by his siblings: Larry, Carol (Dave), Kathy, Karen (Mike), and Kay (Jeb). The bond they shared was a testament to the love and support that marked Terry’s life, a network of family and friends woven through countless memories and shared experiences. He leaves behind many nieces and nephews, each touched by his kindness and spirit.

As we remember Terry Keller, we celebrate a man who lived fully, embraced challenges, and touched the hearts of many. His laughter and unwavering support will be profoundly missed, but his spirit will continue to shine brightly through those he loved. A celebration of life will be held on September 6, 2025 at noon at the American Legion in Rockport, Texas.
