I ran across this in local newsfeeds:

RIP Sgt Keller,

I'm sorry he's gone but glad to hear he was out taking in all that life has to offer. Sounds like he touched a lot of people in just 62 years.

The article said that he worked in the supply department in Pensacola. He wasn't one of the guys that did gear issue at API, was he?

 

[OUSOONER]

Did he drive a red jeep cherokee that had the MOH tag and the License plate # was 1 ?

I would always see this guy on Barrancas heading to NASP. He was a heavier set guy with white scraggly hair and a mustache.

Sad news either way. RIP

A tragic and unfortunate accident, a helmet may have helped here.

But "killed in motorcycle wreck" does not equate to "taking in all that life has to offer."

I hear you and agree. I should have just said it was cool that he was riding at 62. I was trying to stay away from the helmet debate I figured was coming. That said, I wish he had on a helmet on too.

The news article bothered me the way they structured the reading of the citation. here's the full citation in paragraph form for anyone who likes properly structured paragraphs better than the news team.
