Leslie Brian Keeling was born on August 11, 1962, in Cedar Falls, IA, to parents Leslie and Shirley (Wiltse) Keeling, the third of four children. He attended school in the Cedar Falls/Waterloo area. Later he moved to Webster City where he met long-time girlfriend Laurie Tate and her daughter, Tara. Out of that union their son, Jason Keeling, was born on October 11, 1985. The couple later separated.

Brian enjoyed his many friends and his family. He loved being a dad and an uncle, but his favorite role was being a grandpa! Brian’s favorite place to be was outdoors. He loved riding his Harley Davidson, fishing, hunting, kayaking, and gathering for a BBQ with his family and friends. He believed in living life to the fullest. His time here on earth was shorter than what all of his family and friends would have liked it to be but rest assured, Brian is up above, celebrating a life well lived with his mom, dad, and many other loved ones. He will be missed dearly by all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his son, Jason (Tessa) Keeling of Des Moines; daughter Tara Leeper of Woolstock; grandchildren: Trinity Keeling, Jason Keeling, Jr., Bradley (Taylor) Tate, Reid Leeper, Tatumn Leeper; great-grandchildren: Oliver, Finley, and Ava Tate; brother Roy Keeling of Brooklyn; sisters Sandra (James) Hines of Stanhope and Lynette Ramos of Williams; many other extended family members and friends.
