Lewis John Keller, 46, of Cross Village, walked on April 30th, 2020.
Lewis, or Buzz as he was loving called, was born May 7th, 1973 in Petoskey, Michigan the son of Walter Stephen "Pete" and Marcella Jean (Gasco) Keller. He attended school at the one room school house in Cross Village before venturing out on his life's journey, spending time in Florida, Alaska, and New York.

On May 7th, 2005 he married Wishkobaykikijeebowigut (Kiki) Silver in Jamesville, New York. Lewis moved his small family back to Cross Village in the summer of 2005, where it continued to grow.
Lewis was a loving husband and father, dedicated to his family, friends and community. He was a commercial fisherman who took pride in a hard day's work. He was an avid farmer and hunter and took great enjoyment in drumming, playing pool, snowmobiling, four wheeling, gardening, learning, and sharing his knowledge. He was a man of action an integrity who spoke his mind and stood his ground. There is not one paragraph, not one page, not one book, not one person who could tell the entire story of all he was or what he meant to everyone he knew and loved.
He is survived by his wife, Kiki; his children, Songiide, Noodwin, Gimiwanokwe, Onimikiiwiis, Niigaanii, and Mikwamii; his brothers Phillip, Patrick (Susan), Richard (Pam), Arthur (Donna), Robert, Daniel, Fred (Linda Delmas), and Raymond Keller; his chosen brother, Eric Hemenway; his sisters Elizabeth (Jerry) and Denise Keller; his many nieces, nephews, cousins, his aunts, his loving in-laws and friends.
