Keith Chattin Obituary

Just hearing about Keith's passing today. I'm still in shock. Keith was such a nice guy. We were on his delivery route so we got to know each other over the past 10 years or so. We will keep Keith's family in our prayers. He is truly missed.

During my early teens Keith was part of a group of guys that would get together to ride BMX bikes at little tracks ("Cassidy's track") scattered throughout West Chester.

I remember Keith as alway possesing the determination and skill to clear the biggest jumps and learn new tricks.

Years later our paths crossed again at QVC (where I worked and where he delivered for UPS). I recall him exuding such a sense of pride and accomplishment at having risen through the ranks at UPS and becoming successful.

While it has been years since I've seen him I will always remember Keith as a nice guy who was always positive and who made everyone feel welcome.

So saddened by the passing of Keith. My heart is heavy. He and his mom coached his sister and I my last year of little league. These were some of my most fondest childhood memories. As I got older, he became a friend and big brother to me. I am forever grateful for all of the memories. To "Mom", Biffy and uncle Ron, I send my love and condolences. I love you all and hope for better days ahead. Love you and miss you coach.
