Paying Tribute to Rico Keeling

We are here to celebrate and remember a father, a loving partner, a coach and overall huge influence in the soccer community of Southeast Texas.  


Since he graduated from Lamar University, Rico has impacted many lives of both his peers and the youth soccer community.  Rico was professional, honest and charming.  These traits lead Rico to the start of a beautiful family and two professional careers in both Project Management and a Professional Soccer Coaching Business.


His impact on the SETX Soccer community can be seen every time you walk on a soccer field in this region, no matter what age, gender or ability, Rico was able to instill confidence and skill to each and every player he coached.  He will be remembered by so many past, present and future soccer players.


Rico was taken from us and his precious young family far too soon and he will not be replaced.  But as a community we need to come together to support his family and take care of them during this emotional chapter in their life.


Bethany and Keris need us to help with immediate financial expenses that come with such a great loss and this is why this GoFundMe has been created.  Please donate whatever you can to help pay any bills, upcoming services, child care and day to day costs that a family needs.


Shawn Hickman and Thomas Shenton will be running the administrative side of this account with all the money being transferred directly to Bethany.


We know our soccer community can come through and help during this emotional time and we look forward to seeing everyone lift the spirts of the Keeling family.
