It is with a very heavy heart that we make this post. 

 

Our beloved friend, John Keller, passed away Saturday.  He was 54. 

 

John Keller has spent 25+ years serving Encore in every possible capacity.  He was a trustee, former Board President, and all around spirit lifter, voice of calm and reason, and guru of fixing people, places, and things.  John’s smile, laughter, and voice of reason echo through our theatre and in our hearts. 

 

John is survived by his wife of 34 years, Val, and their son Nic and his partner, Courtlyn, and their two girls Piper and Genevieve.  He is also survived by his brother Jim Keller (George Byrd) and sister, Missy (Jodi) Keller. 

 

John loved his family very much.  He worked side by side and was there with a kind word and helping hand, snarky comment, and that infectious smile. 

 

Please join us for John’s Celebration of life on Saturday, October 3 here at Encore Theatre.  Family will have open house from 2pm to 4pm followed by a remembrance and celebration service of John’s extraordinary life.
