Sadly, Keith had to suffer through issues in life that most people don't have to face until they are much older, but having to go through all he did, I think made him the special man we all knew. In my eyes, his life WAS about helping others. We are so sorry we never truly thanked him for all he did for his friends and especially the community. I believe he was taken from us too soon because God has important plans for a special and unique man. He watched over us in life, I believe he will be watching over us now. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family and all those close to him. May fond memories of him help us through this extremely difficult time, he would not want us to stay sad. Rest in peace dear friend.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I'm thankful that he and I had the opportunity to reconnect this year. I know from talking to him that he was truly at peace with whatever God had planned for him. I hope that thoughts of your times together will bring you comfort in the coming months.
Sincerely,

We will miss Keith so much. He was a great friend to me and my family. He was my son's Scoutmaster and my scout trainer. We were blessed to have him in our lives. Now we can have comfort in knowing he'll be with his parents and his grandmother in heaven.

Today our hearts ache for another special person that we must say farewell to way before their time. But we know that our time is not the same as God’s time so we are comforted to know that it is God that called Keith home. We know that Keith had faced many problems in life starting at a very early age but that does not make it easier to let him go. We pray that God will comfort all that are hurting today.
