Keith Flodin Obituary
FLODIN, Keith
Sept. 7, 1961 - Nov. 25, 2008
Was born in Latrobe, Pennsylvania on September 7, 1961 having graduated from the Greater Latrobe Area High School and The Pennsylvania State University in State College, Pennsylvania. As Office Managing Partner of Ernst and Young, Keith was delighted to be part of a growing and thriving accounting practice in Sacramento. He valued the hard work and dedication of all those he worked with for the past 25 years. Keith enjoyed an active outdoor lifestyle, especially golfing with friends, skiing with his family and selflessly dedicating himself to his sons' academic and athletic pursuits as a coach, mentor and loving father. Keith gave his heart to the Lord and this was reflected in the way in which he loved his wife, was a father to his sons, and a son to his parents. He lived with an eternal perspective, humbly encouraging those around him to live for Christ. His genuine kindness and clever wit will be missed by all. Keith was preceded in death by his brother Douglas; his father Kenneth. Keith is survived by his wife of 19 years, Rose; his two sons, Matthew (age 14) and Michael (age 11); and his mother, Rose. Viewing will take place on Monday, December 1, 2008 at the Hillcrest Alliance Church, 911 Hillcrest Ave., Roseville, CA from 4pm to 6pm. Funeral Services will take place on Tuesday, December 2, 2008 at Bayside Church, 8191 Sierra College Blvd., Roseville, CA at 2pm.

Rose,
I know it's been some time since Keith's passing but I wanted you to know how much Carol and I cared for Keith and how much we will miss him. He was a good friend to me and I respected his expertise and judgement. He made me laugh many many times and now he has made me cry for the first and only time. Please know that if there is anything we can do to help you all you need to do is ask.

I only this week learned of Keith's passing and will be forever grateful to his counsel & friendship as our long time audit partner for Hansen Information Technologies.
I will never forget a fateful lunch at Il Fornio, when he and Gilles Attia scolded me for not adopting Revenue Recognition guidelines so investors could take our company seriously. Because of that meeting I made major changes in our direction and staffing, and later successfully sold the company in June 2007.
Me and my family will be forever grateful to you and yours. God bless you!

Dear Rose, Matt and Michael,
I just learned about Keith's passing and I am very sorry that I didn't have the chance to attend his services. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and please let me know if I can help in any way.
I met my fellow PSU alum over 20 years ago with a chance meeting at Diamond Oaks Golf Course. We had played 18 holes and I had enjoyed his company. Walking down the 18th fairway, we finally discovered that we were both Penn State Alumni who had graduated a year apart! Our friendship blossomed with various golf outings and sharing our love of all things Pennsylvanian and talking Penn State football. In fact, our last time together was watching this years PSU/Michigan State game.
I know how much Keith loved you all and how important his family was to him. Keith was a great person, friend and someone who I will miss very much.
He will live on in my memories forever.

When Kelli and I heard of Keith's passing we were completely shocked. Having worked for him for 4+ years I benefitted not only from his professional tutelage, but also his keen sense of humor. He was a formidable opponent in banter sessions and could always respond with a clever zinger. But above all else Keith's main priority in liife was his family. He will be greatly missed and our prayers go out to Rose and the boys who had him taken away too soon.

Last month I met Keith on two brief occasions and Rose on one of those occasions. I was the sales person when Keith bought a car. In my brief time with Keith I could see he was a very gentile and giving man and he quickly gained my respect. He spoke very highly of his wife and sons, he was very proud of them all. Today I heard of Keith's passing and I am in shock. Keith was a good man and good human being and will be missed. My prayers are with Rose, Matthew, and Michael.

Rose,
Even though it had been several years since I had spoken with Keith (but for a brief visit last December), I wanted to let you know that I have enduring memories of Keith during my days at E&Y. He always managed to bring levity to the workplace while somehow getting the most out of his team.
I was stunned when I heard of his passing. Donna and I will be praying for you and your family for your loss.

Every recollection that I have of Keith is a good one. Quick with a quip, and possessed of sharp insight, he was a delight to know. I am very sad to learn of his death and wish the family the best.

Keith was a special person and made a very visible and important contribution to the local business market in Sacramento. Many of us who worked with Keith felt he was always very well respected and well liked.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and we will all miss him very much.

The News of Keith's passing came as quite a shock. I knew keith, as a team mate and later had the pleasure of coaching him on the swim team of our native Latrobe(Pa.). We worked together one summer as lifeguards at the local pool. Keith's personality and outlook on life would shine brighter than any summer's day. His wit was matched by his sincerity and heart. He touched us all and will be missed.

Rose,
After so many years since I last saw Keith in Los Angeles, it was good to remake his acquaintance here in California. It was especially heartwarming to learn of his acceptance of Chirst in his life. Please take comfort in knowing that he has moved on to a better place, and cherish all of the rich memories that you've shared.

Rose,
Keith was a wonderful person and we loved having him in our "circle of friends". We have lots of great memories of Kings games and neighborhood parties. May the Lord bless you as you go through this difficult time.

Rose, Matt and Michael, I share your sorrow and joy at Keith's passing into the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, whose glory He can now behold continually forever and ever.
Without knowing Keith outside of BSF, I came to know him through Matt and Michael through the program and think the world of these young men, through whom Keith will be remembered and honored from one generation to another. Rose, I got to meet you at BSF retreat last spring and it was evident that you too are another of God's special gifts to everyone you touch.
I will keep all of you in prayer and I'll see you on Tuesday.

Rose,
Words can never state the sorrow we feel in our hearts for you, Matthew, Michael & G'ma Rose. We know Jesus has a much more eternal plan, which Keith is now a part of. As God's servant, he's done a mighty work.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys. I remember Keith as being a wonder father and husband to you all. It was neat watching him with the boys as they were younger growing up at F.O.P.C.

Keith was such a wonderful champion of Sacramento region technology company entrepreneurs. His legacy is that he touched so many facets of our growing community with expert knowledge, wisdom, grace, and humor.
He will be sadly missed by all his friends at SARTA (Sacramento Area Regional Technology Alliance).

This is such a shock! Keith whooped my husband's butt in the Men's 25 yard freestyle at the Sugarbear's Family Picnic! We have very fond memories of him through the swim team and our heartfelt sympathies go out to your family. Sincerey, The Tansley/Skibo Family
