Price Clarence Kellar III

Price Clarence Kellar III (known by many as “Butch”) of Elwood, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on Friday, Aug. 21, 2026.
Kellar was born May 13, 1959, to Price Clarence Kellar II and Patsy Jane (Humphrey) Kellar in St Louis.
He took great pride in the children who chose to be a part of his life, whether through the “Big Brother” program or the many children he welcomed into his life and raised along the way. He had an incredible ability to make an impact on the lives of those around him, and perhaps nowhere was that influence greater than with the countless young people he coached in basketball, football and wrestling. Price had a deep passion for sports and found great joy in sharing that passion with others, encouraging young athletes and helping them discover their own strengths both on and off the field.
He lived a life fuller than most. He knew no limitations and lived each day on his own terms. He practiced law until the day he died, lived and breathed Logan Chieftain football and Ohio State athletics, and spent his days on his farm surrounded by as many horses as he could fit—and then some. Over the years, he was also loved fiercely by many good dogs, who were fortunate enough to share in his adventures and become an important part of his life.
Price is preceded in death by his father, Price Clarence Kellar II and mother, Patsy Jane Riley.
 
Price is survived by his daughter Amanda (Kellar) Phillips, son-in-law Lee Phillips, and their children, of Buffalo; son Austin Gardner (wife Lindsey) of Hawaii; niece Ali (Perry) Colson (husband Shaun) of Willard; siblings Kim Poggemoeller of Big Bend, W.V., Kevin Kellar of Troy, Ohio, and Sandra Kellar of Stuart, Fla.; other family and friends. 
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that you make donations to Logan Chieftain Athletic Department in his name: Checks payable to LHS
Memo: list what sport you want it going toward (pick your favorite, he loved all sports). Mail to: LHS 14470 St Rte 328 Logan, OH 43138
Per his wishes, there will be no funeral services. A celebration of life will be held at a later date for close friends and family.
