My deepest sympathies to those that loved Keith. He was my next door neighbor for 6 years. He was so good to me, good to my kitties and a joy to live next to. I will miss him greatly.

My sympathies and condolences go out to the Powell family and friends.
I went to high school with Keith and knew him to be a sweet, kind and faithful friend as well as having a great sense of humor.
I was saddened to hear of his passing. As I did not keep in touch with him after high school, my memories of him will always be fond and dear.

I was so very sad to hear about Keith. My mother, Linda Keith,who passed away four years ago and who lived in the same apartment complex as Keith, adored him. He took such good care of her and was always willing to help her if she needed anything. It was comforting to me to know he lived so close. He will always have a special place in my heart. My sympathies are with his family and friends......Kelly (Keith) Ginter
