Harold Larry Keller Obituary (2025)

Dr. Larry Keller passed away peacefully at his home in Yakima, Washington, on October 6,2025, surrounded by his love and soulmate, Becky, and his two pups, Max and Ruby, by his side. A devoted Chiropractor and compassionate healer, Larry dedicated his life to helping others find health, comfort, and hope. He graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic in 1994 and went on to co-own Quality Care Medical Clinic in Yakima for 21 years, faithfully serving his community with kindness, skill, and unwavering dedication to those in need. His final career path led him to Warninger Chiropractic in Yakima, where he continued his lifelong mission of caring for others with humility and heart. Larry faced a valiant fight against esophageal cancer with courage, grace, and quiet strength-- never losing his sense of humor or his deep concern for others, even in the hardest moments. He will be remembered for his adventurous spirit, his love of animals, his passion for motorsports, and his love of Christ. His presence brought calm and confidence to every room he entered, and his laughter and generosity will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his life partner, Becky Smith of Yakima; his father, Rick Keller of Oregon; his mother, Mary Sponcler of Selah; his stepmom, Cathy Hofer of California; and his sisters, Colleen Sponcler, Kerry Jenkins, Kelly Vallone, Lisa Anderson, and Julieann Spainhauer, along with their children, who loved their Uncle Larry dearly, and numerous friends and loved ones whom Larry held close to his heart. A Celebration of Life will be held at Shaw & Sons Funeral Home in Yakima, Washington, on November 6, 2025, at 3:30 p.m. In honor of Larry's wishes, those who knew him are encouraged to reach out to close friends and family -- to reconnect, to forgive, and to rekindle the important relationships that give life its deepest meaning. We would also like to extend heartfelt gratitude to Wayne and Cathy Hofer, and to Larry's loving sisters, for their unwavering care, compassion, and support throughout his final journey. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." -- 2 Timothy 4:7. Shaw & Sons Funeral Home is caring for the family.
