Dan and Lisa,
Words cannot begin to express the way the loss of Keith has changed my life. He was by far one of my best friends, Stephen being the other. I know how hard this still is for Stephen and myself, I can't possibly imagine the pain you are feeling. Keith is one of the best people I know. One of the most kindhearted, smart, funny, and caring guys I'd ever in my life met. It always seemed as though he wanted my say-so before doing something...he asked if I thought it'd be a good idea to get his ears pierced or if I thought he should get a tattoo. Even though, we all knew he had a mind of his own. He was always there for me when I was down. I tried to be there for him Monday night, I'm sorry it wasn't enough. Just know that he will FOREVER have a special place in my heart and if there's ANYTHING I can do(such as watching Danielle, or anything)please let me know!
God Bless!

P.S. I've never really liked Dairy Queen...but meeting your son and Stephen are the two best things that have ever happened to me! You're wonderful parents and raised and AMAZING son!

Keith was always fun to be around. I always could count on him to laugh with me, at the various quarks and oddities of life at Wal Mart. The break rooom will undoubtedly be boring without him. My thoughts and my prayers are with his family.

I was friends with Keith at Wal-Mart. He always made things better when we had to work there. I will never forget him. We always tried to get put on carts together, or at least do something other than our actual jobs, cashiers. I am so sorry for your loss, he was a great guy and I will always remember him.

Teran and family,

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.

We are thinking of you and will keep you in our prayers.
