Daniel Clyde Keasler, Shreveport, LA  age 70

Dan Keasler was promoted to God's presence Sunday, January 11, 2026, after a difficult 1 1/2 year battle with cancer.  Visitation for Dan's family and friends will begin at 10:00 Saturday, January 17, 2026, at Broadmoor Baptist Church chapel, followed by a memorial service at 11:00.

Dan was born July 5, 1955, and lived all his life in Shreveport, LA.  He began his welding career in 1975 and founded Alpha Welding and Fabrication in 1982.  He treasured his relationships with his co-workers and clients.

As a young man, Dan spent a month backpacking in Washington on the Pacific Crest Trail.  He became a hunter and was nicknamed "Zorro" for obvious reasons.  He hunted deer, duck, elk, pheasant and various animals in South Africa.  He loved being outdoors, camping, hunting, water and snow skiing.  Dan became one of the best table tennis players in town.  He played each week with other local top players and competed in several regional tournaments.

He developed close friendships with his Thursday lunch group of men and the C. Williams class at Broadmoor Baptist.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Jo, and his brother, Jim.  Survivors are Bob and Therese Keasler, his brother and wife; JoAnn and Raymond Prestridge, his sister and husband; sister-in-law Lynn Turner and husband Mike.  Dan had a lasting impact on his nieces and nephews:  Jana, Nathan, Melissa, Carissa, Micah, Meghan, Fawn and Savanna.  Special thanks go to his cousin Tim Horn for so much help during his illness. Dan has been described as godly, kind, generous, honest, a man of his word, and a man of convictions.
