Brian Lee Keister, A.K.A Fatboyy, 47, of Freeport, Illinois, and formerly of Mount Carroll, Illinois, was called to heaven on March 13th, 2024. He was born on October 27th, 1976 to Judith Jones and James Keister. A perfect example of true love, and companionship, is when Brian tied the knot (1994-2018) with his best friend Dawn (Moe) and they started a gorgeous family, including three precious daughters: Tori Jean (Nathan), Toni Marie (Keenan), and Tesla Nicole. Brian also had a daughter named Alexis and a charming little boy named Gunther Maxwell Keister.

Brian was considered a comedian and could make anyone laugh with his jokes. He loved so much teaching Tori, Toni, and Tesla how to fish and ride their first bike. He really, really loved when his girls got older and started to date. Let's just say a lot of boys were scared of him. Brian loved the Girl Scouts father-daughter dances, that he would take Tori and Toni every year. They would all get dressed up and dance and eat cookies at the dance's. He also enjoyed when the girls would have a birthday party sleepovers. He was always the center of attention, having the girls drink pickle juice and scaring them while they all were watching scary movies. He was a hardcore Dallas Cowboys fan even with all their losses.

Survivors include his sister Danielle McGregor of Freeport, Illinois, his half brother Tim Wachlin, his nieces Miranda McGregor and Tiphani Busch of Freeport, and Tailere (Hodolitz) Keister of Gilman, Illinois; his grandchildren: Brydyn (Papa's bubs), Shannon (papa's baby girl), and Odys (Papa's Oreo). He also had great nephews: Logan, Bryson, and Kye, and great nieces, Lexus and Mia. Uncle B loved them all, but was best friends with Logan and Bryson.

He was preceded in death by his parents Judith Jones and James Keister, his brothers Billy and Dan Keister, and his unborn twin boys.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Schwarz Park Blvd Chapel, 608 S. Park Blvd in Freeport, Illinois at 3:00 p.m. Saturday March 30th, 2024.

We invite everyone to please come and eat with us and share stories with us, so his grandkids can hear just how amazing their Papa was, and his daughters can hear how funny he was when he was growing up.
