I remember Keith as a classmate and as teammate, mostly on the football field. I remember his maturity, his tremendous work ethic, and his willingness to help others. He was inspirational to me with his sense of commitment to excellence. Those lessons learned by just being around him helped shape me as a student, an athlete, an educator, and as a surgeon. I am very grateful for that experience I shared with Keith, which became life lessons. My condolences go out to his family.
