This is a time I wished I did not see come. God must have needed him more. I mourn the loss of Keith and my deepest condolences go out to Mr. and Mrs. Driskill, Kenneth, Jason, and all of the family. Keith was very special, had a great personality (made many people laugh), had a very good heart, and helped others--no matter what the outcome was. He topped himself to be the best, to be greater, and broke the bar. He was up on top of the world when he helped others. Such passion for the computer, it was his world. A computer wiz--he was. My son and I learned a great deal of wisdom from Keith. Keith--THANK YOU for all the love, generosity, wisdom, and laughs you have given us. You will be in our hearts forever. May God Bless your family and may you rest in peace. I deeply love and miss you!!!

Words are so insufficient and inadequate to convey my deepest heartfelt feelings of the loss of Keith. Keith was one of my closest and most devoted friends and an important part of our family for many years. Moreover, he was an incredibly loyal and devoted employee to my father and Grandview Enterprises and I cannot imagine how it will be with him gone. Keith was one of the most generous, kindest and caring people I have ever known. He accepted people for who they were and did not judge them. He felt like a member of our family and he will be missed greatly and will always have a place in our hearts.
In his honor, I will purchase an engraved brick with his name on it at Pioneer Courthouse Square, one of his favorite places to visit downtown Portland, Oregon, so he will always have a special place in his Northwest home.
My love, thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to all of his friends and family.
Love and Light…………Keith!! Friends everlasting………Fairfarren!!!

Wyatt, Kenneth & Family,
It's been a lifetime ago since we grew up a few houses apart. We thought we would be neighbors forever & we all grew up and went out separate ways. We have lost parents and gained children, but we never forget our childhood friends.We had a great childhood!! God Bless you and your family. May God wrap his loving arms around you at this sad time and ease your pain.I will remember Keith's laugh, and his pranks. Kenneth, you were blessed to have a twin and my heart aches for you and Wyatt.You are in our prayers. All Our Love
