Memories and Condolences
for KEITH ANDERSON
October 24, 2010
Keith, you were a part of my toughest years in life and you entered through it as such a gentle and beautiful soul. Just when I thought life was too hard I saw your attitude towards life as being so carefree and so full of love and unconditional acceptance towards others. You are truly missed my dear friend. But I have comfort in my heart knowing we will meet again. My condolences to your loving family and all of the Mustangs who's pain from your expiration accompanies mine. God Bless You mi amigo.

Keith will always be remembered for his kind heart and positive attitude. He was always smiling and could always turn a frown into a smile if you were upset. He was a great person and will be missed. Sleep with angels my friend.

I always remember Keith with a smile and kind words. There were times he just sensed something was wrong and would ask me about it and tell me that everything was going to be ok. I couldn't help but smile and say thank you. He was such an inspirational person and I know he is watching over us from heaven now. He touched so many and will be deeply missed. He truly was Mr. Aldine. God bless you always, Keith Anderson, and thank you for being my friend.

I attended Stovall Jr High and Aldine High with Keith. Keith truly was a great person and was always first with a smile, a hello, and a high five. I was sorry to hear that he has left us, but i know that Heaven has welcomed a great spirit team leader. I'll never forget Keith and I'll keep the Anderson family in my prayers.

I have been Keith's brother-in-law for many years and I have never seen a bad side of the man, he was always loving and kind to all. Keith was a great brother to Jill and I, a great son to Barbara and Ken, the list can go on and on, but the one that stands out most to me is how great of an uncle he was to Jill and my son Bryar. Not only was he a Mustang fan, but he became a follower of the Panama Razorbacks football team when Bryar played, he knew more about his stats than the team's statistician did and was always quik to congradulate and compliment Bryar on his gridiron accomplishments. He rivaled Jill and I as a fan! He so touched my heart by that. Keith, I will miss you very much and Heaven is truly a better place with you there.

I have tried many times to put Keith into words to describe him to people throughout the years. Loving, happy, genuine, spirited, and devoted all came to mind. However, there is no way to really express what a great inspiration he was to so many of us. His enthusiasm and excitement for football and Aldine was unmatched by anyone. He is in all of our favorite high school memories and my favorite ones are of him yelling, "We're number one" anytime someone was around to hear it. You couldn't help but smile and believe. Watching Keith at a game was always touching and exciting. His Aldine spirit never faded and I'm going to miss getting his updates on facebook. Thank you Keith for all that you gave us and all that you leave with us through our beautiful memories of you.

Remembering....
Our Son,
Born out of love on Easter
the day His Savior arose.
From his birth to toddler
he struggled to be
From toddler to teen
he struggled to be
From teen to manhood
he BECAME what he wanted to be
A kind and gentle soul
loved by so many and all
He now has gone to his eternal rest
struck down by an untimely death
Now he is gone from us
nevermore to see his face
Until we rejoin with him again in God's' due time.
Goodbye my dear son

We lived across the street from Keith in Greenridge North and went to school with him. He was always so friendly and never missed a chance to say hello. I had not seen him for many years and one day he contacted me online and I was surprised he even remembered me. He was very popular in school and I was just his neighbor. It made me smile to know that he remembered me. He was such a very special person and I know that we will see each other again, someday. I hope the Anderson family will find comfort in knowing that Keith touched many lives and will be missed.

Keith was such a special, beautiful soul. Going to school with Keith everyday made it a better day, a happier place and he was a spirit that united all the other students on campus. He was truly loved. I am so deeply saddened for the loss of such a ray of light and love. I will never forget him and the thought of him will forever bring a smile to my face. Thank you Keith for being such a wonderful, loving friend. We love you.

I have so many fond memories of Keith. He and I started out together at Thompson elementry, moved on to Stovall Jr., then to Aldine where we graduated together in 1985.
Keith lived about 6 houses down from me and my family in the Greenridge North Subv. during our school years.
Keith started attending the Baptist neighborhood church that my family was a member of at the time. I remember how I would see keith walking by my house on the way to church, he enjoyed church so much that he always wanted to be there extra early and be there every time the doors were open for services. I remember all the times he would catch a ride with me to church and other functions. I was so privilaged in witnessing Keith accept Christ as his personal Lord and Savior then becoming a member of our church family.
A couple of days ago I was telling some one about my loss, a person that never knew Keith. I had such a hard time effectively explaining to them just how special keith was. I told this person how Keith was an "Icon", if you met him once you would know him forever. I went on to tell of how extremely intelligent Keith was and of all the people he touched in a positive manner and the multitudes of friends that he had. I told of how everyone loved Keith simply because he loved everyone first, that he did NOT have an ounce of hate in his heart, that keith saw the good in everyone and wanted to be friends with everyone.
Oh yes, Keith loved everyone so much, but as much as he loved Aldine and all the people in his life he loved his church and Lord and Savior even that much more. While it is so hard for me to accept that I will no longer see Keith again on this earth, I can rest in knowing that he is HOME, home with Jesus his Lord and Savior in heaven and that one of these days I will have a great big reunion with him.
If the world was completely filled with people like Keith, we would have no problems living together in harmony, no problems loving one another, no problems treating others the way that we would want to be treated. So as we move forward, let's not forget about the life that Keith lived and the example that he set for all of us. Let us all strive to be more like him.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Keith's family and friends and may the Lord Jesus Christ comfort you in your time of sorrow.
Keith was a "one of a kind". Keith was indeed MR. ALDINE. "GO MUSTANGS"!!

I feel so blessed to have known Keith. I grew up living across the street from the Andersons. Keith never met a stranger and always had a smile for everyone. What amazed me is that he never forgot a name. Sitting here reading the guest book, it brought back so many memories. Keith was truly "Mr. Aldine". He had more school spirit than anyone that I have ever known. He had such a sweet gentle spirit. He will be truly missed by everyone who knew him or who's life he touched. Nothing held him back. There was never a challenge too large. Sitting here thinking about him brings a smile to my face. Rest in peace my friend. I pray that Keiths memories bring peace and comfort to his family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

"Keith was one of God's special people. He truly cared about each and every person he befriended. I have known Keith since he was a very young man attending our church. As I moved on and would come back and visit he never forgot me and was always interested in what was happening in my life and my family's. Keith will be greatly missed."
September 30, 2010
I was privilaged to know Keith from his first year in elementry school until his promotion to be with his heavenly Father.It was my privilage to hear his confession of faith in Jesus Christ, to bury him in baptize and serve as his pastor for many years. Keith was an exceptionally special person. He had a keen mind and a fantastic memory. Our loss is heavens gain. May the Lord of all comfort be with all who knew and loved Keith.

It's so shocking to learn of Keith leaving us. He will be missed so much. Keith was always such a positive, sweet, Christian guy, who was a true friend. I will never forget all the time we spent together at church in the choir, and at football games with my mom, Sarah. I know that Keith and my mom are catching up on things in Heaven right now, as they liked many of the same things, and were close Christian friends. The quality most memorable about Keith was his love for the Lord. And the Mustangs!!! We'll see you again, someday, Keith. We love you. Love, The Kneseks and Thorns

To Keith's Family and Friends,
I had the pleasure of knowing Keith for many years. Keith was and always will be an inspiration in my life and in many others. My family loved him and he loved everyone he met unconditionally. His smile was so very contagious and he passed it to all of us Mighty Mustangs. I will never forget seeing him walking by my home to go to church at Greenridge Baptist Church. When I started attending Greenridge I looked forward to his open arms and smile to welcome me and my family to worship with him. As I know without a doubt that he will be waiting for us again to welcome us home. My thoughts and prayers go out to you for your loss. I know we the Aldine High School Class of 1985 will miss him dearly but he will forever be etched in our hearts. I am so glad that Keith and I had the opportunity these last couple of years to reconnect via facebook. Thank you for raising such a caring and loving son. You and your family will be in my families prayers. I miss you my dear friend until we meet again!!Go Mustangs!!Always and forever MR.ALDINE

I facebooked this message the day i heard of this tradgedy...... I sat here for 20 minutes thinking of something to say but was too sad. I thought I will turn around in my seat (here at the office) and look out the window to see if anything reminds me of him. I felt I would see something spiritual at that moment. I admit I was looking for truck going by with a Mustang on it or to or a shoot star in the middle of the day. Something. I realized that I was squinting my eyes and couldn't see. I was blinded by the Sunlight and I thought....THAT was him. There was no way that you could miss him if he was in the room with you. He stood out that much. God Bless the Mighty Mustang and Godspeed you home.

I have so many precious memories of Keith that I will carry with me forever. He was (and always will be) the pride and joy of Aldine High School's Class of 1985. Even though he was faced with many challenges in his life, there was never, ever a reason to pity him. We loved, admired and respected him because of his determination to overcome those adversities with such style and grace. He was fiercly loyal and wicked smart. His heart was full of love and compassion, he had a beautiful spirit as well as a sweet and kind soul. Many people live their whole lives and never possess those qualities, yet they came so naturally to him. What an inspiration he was to all who knew him and I am truly honored to have been his friend. My prayers are with you, his family, in your time of sorrow. My hope is that you will be comforted in knowing that we will see him again soon. Knowing Keith, he'll be waiting at the gate to welcome us home with that infectious smile and probably still bragging about his beloved "Mighty Mustangs" to all who will listen. Until then, rest well in the arms of God, my sweet friend. Rest well.

Keith touched so many of his classmates through the years - he offered pure friendship and an eagerness and excitement for life. These are rare qualities in our world - he will be missed!
My earliest memory of Keith was at Stovall Jr. High in 6th grade beginning band class. He and I were learning to play the drums. He was so sweet and so enthusiastic in his efforts - he was an inspiration to me and was always cheering me on. In High School, he always had an eye on the band and would direct along with Ms J as we played at football games.
I will always remember his enthusiastic smile and his Mighty Mustang spirit! God bless your family during this time of loss and may His presence bring you peace.

My husband and met at Aldine and Keith was the sweetest man with the biggest heart. The school spirit he had was such an inspiration to us all. He cheered with not just his voice but where it mattered most....from his heart! We will miss him dearly and we feel so blessed that we got to know him. Our family will keep you in our prayers during this difficult time. May he rest in peace. Love, Ethel and Ben Kloepper c/o 1986

No words can express how much our dear friend will be missed. We loved his smile, his hugs, the way he always knew our names, and the absolute enthusiasm he had for each of us and his beloved Aldine. Keith made each of us strive to be better people who could love unconditionally as he did. We will miss him dearly, but he will live on in our hearts and minds forever. Thanks for sharing him with all of us from Aldine. May God grant your family peace and comfort! He truly was an angel whose presence graced this earth for a mere 43 years.
