Anchorage resident Preston Robin Keller, 18, suddenly left this world on Sunday, July 15, 2007.
Preston was born in Anchorage on Sept. 29, 1988, to Sandi Olin and Robbie Ningeulook, then adopted by Lester Keller Jr.
He attended school in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Teller, Shishmaref, Nome and graduated from Martin L. Olson High School on May 19, 2007. He had just begun his life on his own and worked for Ace Delivery & Moving Inc. at the time of his death. He had plans to attend Alaska Vocational Technical Center in Seward. He was adventurous, outgoing and humorous. He enjoyed the outdoors, loved to hunt, fish, play basketball, cook, work on snowmachines, and swim, especially the polar bear swim. He loved cars and could name year, make and model quickly. He was incredibly bright and was a history buff. He scored nearly perfect on his High School Qualifying Exam, 71 on the ASVAB test and seriously considered joining the Air Force.
In first grade when Preston wrote all about the military, his teacher called him Sgt. Ningeulook. In fifth grade he played Santa in a Christmas play, making the whole crowd laugh. He was on the Fairbanks Lathrop varsity wrestling team his freshman year, mascot of the 2004 Mix-6 State Volleyball Champions Golovin Lynx and was the coolest person around. When he walked into a room full of people, he walked out with everyone laughing. He was loved by all who knew him and will be missed tremendously. He leaves a great big hole in all our hearts.
Preston is survived by his parents, Lester and Sandi Keller; sisters, Lori and Hattie; brother, Joshua; father and companion, Robbie Ningeulook and Nancy Kokeok and siblings, Austin, Corey, Edgar, Sarah and Sonya, all of Shishmaref; grandmothers, Vivien Olin of Wales and Ruth Hannah Seetot of Anchorage; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and many, many, many friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, James Olin, Lester Sr. and Martha Keller and Ray and Hattie Ningeulook; uncle, Edgar Ningeulook; and cousins, Frederick Nayokpuk and the first child named Amber Ongtowasruk.
Funeral services will be held 2 p.m., Thursday, July 19, at Alaska Native Lutheran Church, 1420 Cordova St. in Anchorage and over the weekend at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Nome.
His cremains will be set free over Golovin Bay.
Donations may be made to the Preston Keller Memorial Fund, Wells Fargo Account 706 340 1629. Condolences may be sent to the family at P.O. Box 307, Nome, AK 99762.
