Keelen was born in Charlotte, NC on May 24, 1991 to Robert Gunnoe and Keisha Edwards. He attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and was a certified restoration expert.
Keelen was a devoted big brother, son, grandson, nephew, cousin, friend, and soon-to-be father. He could not wait to meet his first born son, Kage Van Le Gunnoe, who was born on December 30, 2022. He had an infectious smile, a sense of humor that only some understood, and could light up a room with his confidence and love. Keelen was the life of the party and protector of his family. Family was everything to him! He enjoyed art, sports(especially football), the mountains and traveling the world. He gave back to various organizations that he was passionate about, mostly focused on child advocacy.
