On Thursday morning a local man in my town tragically passed away in a horrific car accident. 51-year-old John Keller was driving his Chevrolet Corvette southbound in the 8300 block of State Road A1A about 7:45 a.m. when for unknown reasons he went off the road toward the west and hit a concrete utility pole in front of the Sea Colony community, officials said. Keller, who was wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was the founder and owner of Coastal Behavior Analysis, a group of professionals dedicated to serving individuals with autism spectrum disorders, severe behavior disorders and developmental disabilities. Not only did he do amazing things for the town of Vero Beach, but he was also a father to a 17-year-old boy, who I knew personally. He was very well known in the community where I grew up and will truly be missed.
