James Allen Keller “Jim” of Chilhowee, MO passed away on December 23, 2022.
Jim was born April 17, 1946 as 1 of 7 siblings to John and Dorothy Keller. He was preceded in death by his parents, his siblings, his son Jeff Coulter and granddaughter Savannah Nash. Jim is survived by his wife Charlotte Keller, daughter Michelle Martin (Corey), son Jared Coulter (Tonia), daughter-in-law Vicki Coulter, grandchildren Kimber Doll (Alex), Ethen Coulter, Lucas, Rex, Bailey and Ruthie Coulter, Karsyn White, Jordan Novak (Zach), Cameran and Corben Martin, great grandchildren, Grace and Otto Doll, Miah Couttie and Laylin Novak.
Jim spent many long hours over the years working on his beloved farm. Whether row cropping into the wee hours of the morning to get crops in before the rain, working long hot summers in the hay field or freezing cold mornings feeding cows, he was devoted to his work. When not working he enjoyed watching his grandkids play sports over the years. Jim beamed with pride while telling stories of their successes. He often stepped up and took on roles far beyond a grandfather when duty called.
Jim was one of a kind. A simple man with a quiet demeanor. A man of his word. A man of integrity. Strong willed, hardworking and opinionated, yet gentle and humble. So humble in fact that he requested no formal service be held.
The family would enjoy a get together, a time of remembrance for drinks, snacks and reminiscing.
