Remembering DFC Brian Keith Keller

Worcester County Sheriff's Office

Today (6/14/26) marks 26 years since Deputy First Class Brian Keith Heller tragically lost his life in the line of duty.

DFC Heller was killed in a motor vehicle crash while responding to assist a fellow deputy — a selfless act that reflects the very core of who he was.

Brian was a dedicated deputy who exemplified courage, integrity, and compassion. He was deeply committed to protecting our community, known for his work in removing dangerous narcotics from our streets and his efforts to combat impaired driving.

Beyond the badge, Brian was a devoted father, son, brother, and uncle. He is remembered by his daughters, April and Laura, his grandchildren, and his loving parents, Connie and Dave.

His sacrifice will never be forgotten. We honor his legacy and remain forever grateful for his service to Worcester County.
