I still cant believe this is true. I'm so speechless. God took an amazing man! Mr. Keith was the papa to me that I dont have. He will be deeply missed. I play softball with his granddaughter Shyann, and I will miss hearing his voice cheering for us. He never left without giving me a hug and telling me he loved me. Gone but never forgotten. I love you forever.
R.I.P papa Keith.

Mr. Keith, things will not be the same without you here on earth. I know you are watching over each and everyone of us. Thank you for all the memories that were made during your time here with us. I know you are no longer in pain and that you were greeted with wide open arms. Until we meet again rest easy.

My husband Randy met Keith and his family back in the early 70's when his family moved from Jacksonville out to Pacetti Road. He remembers Keith as a really kind soul then. In Randy's words, "Just a really good guy. He always had a smile on his face." We both knew Keith from SAHS and I remember Keith exactly the same way as Randy. Our deepest condolences and sympathies to his precious wife Pat, his dear Dad, his daughters and their families and each of his precious grandchildren, and his great nephew and great niece. May God's precious gift of memories comfort you and sustain you all with each new day going forward. You are all in our prayers, Randy and Lydia Duncan
