Kellen graduated from Del Norte High School in 2002 and then enrolled in UNM to study engineering. Kellen lived an active lifestyle, and especially loved snowboarding, longboarding, and mountain biking. He was very mechanically minded and had a knack for fixing just about anything. Kellen achieved the level of master bicycle mechanic, and later became the head of Product Design and Engineering at LidarSwiss Solutions GmbH. While working for LidarSwiss, Kellen lived overseas in both China and Switzerland and worked alongside his father, Bob. In China, Kellen met his girlfriend, Amy. Together, they explored China, and he became part of Amy's family. They loved each other very much. Kellen had a passion for life, possessed an infectious enthusiasm and made friends with everyone he met. Kellen loved people and people loved Kellen; he had a gift for making you smile and could instantly ease any burden you might be carrying with his sense of humor and wit. Music was a big part of Kellen's life enjoying everything from Glassjaw to Norah Jones. Kellen is an individual who truly lived his life on his terms. He will be deeply missed by all that knew him. Our only solace is that he is with his brother now.
