Nan & Sons,
We were shocked and saddened to hear Keith had a fatal accident. We were out of state when it happened, so our condolences are late, but still heart felt. May God shower you with his presence and help carry your grief.

My heart breaks for your family.My friend, jimmy, and I were on scene right after the accident. Such a horrible tragedy. I had never met you before that day, but have heard wonderful things about Mr Keith and his family. As a nurse I wanted desperately for things to be different and felt so helpless in easing your pain. All I know is that God WILL give you all the strength and comfort to move forward in a life that has been forever changed. I would love to meet again under different circumstances. I have a special burden for Mr Keiths son who was fort on the scene. I have prayed for that young man every day. I was very proud of him that day. God bless each of you.

Our entire family is just heartbroken over the tragic loss of Keith Swindell! Keith has always been such an honorable and precious man! Our son Chris, practically lived in the Swindell home for many years and gained much valuable knowledge and guidance from Keith throughout those years. Although paths changed the bonds of love,friendship, and great respect never faded one little bit. Ironically, Chris and I both received a comment from him just a few days ago on facebook which was so special to both of us!! .....now we learn of his passing and we both are moved by the fact that God allowed us to have one more contact with him before he left this earth! Chris gained so much valuable knowledge and insight, as well as love from Keith and the entire Swindell family!! Chris was always treated like he was just one of the " four Swindell boys"......Ritchie, Jay, Cole and Chris Swindell".....we have so many wonderful and heartrending memories of the positive and loving influence that Keith had on Chris.....as well as anyone that crossed Keith's path!!!! Wonderful man who will be GREATLY missed!! Sincerely, and with deepest sympathy, the Anderson family, Dale, Angie, Chris, and Osjha Anderson Domenicone
