Steven Anthony "Tony" Keel

Mr. Steven Anthony Keel died on September 20, 2025, in Gainesville, Georgia.

Born January 29, 1959, in Nashville, Tennessee to Glenda Sweat Keel and the late Vernon Cliff Keel. After graduating from Gainesville High School in Gainesville, Georgia he attended Middle Tennessee State University. He graduated from MTSU with a degree in aerospace engineering with a minor in business. He fell in love with the sales side of the trucking industry and was a salesman until he retired. During this time, Tony made a positive impact with his gift to communicate and foster relationships with others. His talent could be expressed as being able to talk to a brick wall and have a good conversation. He spent his free time enjoying nature as an avid outdoorsman, watching NASCAR races and enjoying vacations with loved ones.

In addition to his father, Tony was preceded in death by sister-in-law Bobbie Keel and followed in death by his brother Terry Keel.
