Quinn A. Keith Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 28, 2005.
A quiet young man who loved fishing, hunting and wrestling, Quinn A. Keith was determined to fulfill his duty in Iraq, his family said. "He was scared to be there, but he knew he had to be there," Clyde Keith said of his nephew, who enlisted one week after the Sept. 11 attacks. The 21-year-old weapons specialist from Page, Ariz., was killed Sept. 6 by a car bomb in Iraq''s Anbar province. He was stationed at Camp Pendleton. The Marine''s uncle, who became his legal guardian after the boy''s parents divorced, said one of the best things about the Marine was the love he showed for his family. "He was just one of those kids you wish you could have for a son," Clyde Keith said. Keith, a Navajo, was scheduled to return from Iraq in three weeks and had plans to go deer hunting, his uncle said. Survivors include the Marine''s mother.

Seven years today for seven sets of family and friends, and only a few days from the tenth anniversary of 9/11; that day that changed all our lives forever. Ten years ago last week or so, I was at Camp Pendleton watching my young 2/1 Marine graduate from boot camp, with pride that he had made it through the tough thirteen weeks. Didn't have a thought of what was to come; that the six hundred new young Marines I watched on parade would be a number soon surpassed in military losses. Some of these seven young men we remember today likely joined after 9/11, willing to make the ultimate wartime sacrifice if they were called, as we now know they were. The years pass, but it still seems like yesterday to me, so I can not imagine what it is like for the families. But we remember and I'm proud to call their names from memory, with a thought as well to the brave Iraqi interpreters who died with them on September 6th, 2004.

As I join my former 2/1 Marine for his university graduation this week, we will both be remembering these brothers from that 2/1 deployment and their heroic family and friends.
I have shared this story with the teen boys I work with, most of whom will not be eligble for the military, and encouraged them to seek out a fallen soldier to carry in their hearts as one inspiration for serving others with their own lives.

So long and yet it seems like yesterday. These seven Marines and their loved ones from that dark September 6th have been in my mind all month and particularly over Labor Day weekend. It was a trip back in time to my hometown, complete with fair and patriotic rodeo grand entry with a tribute to those who served. New to me was the sold out concert the night before, and everyone was talking about how the entertainer had sung a patriotic theme and then brought a group of Marines in dress blues up on stage to receive a large toys for tots contribution. The crowd gave the Marines a standing ovation and wouldn’t sit down. It was a good feeling to know that across the country similar celebrations of gratitude were happening. And despite the thrill of dress blues, we all know it’s the hot sweaty dirty guys out in the grit and sand in digital camos and desert boots that we are cheering for.
Then I came home and opened the e-mail forward with the u-tube video showing the signal motion for gratitude to our service men and women; hand over heart down to open hand, so natural and unobtrusive. Bless who ever came up with it.
So we remember these sons and their families and friends with gratitude and honor once again.
May God Bless You All, heart to hand.

Another Fallen Hero ~

My heart breaks as I sign another guestbook of such a courageous young man who gave his life so selflessly. May he rest in peace knowing that he is loved and remembered by those who knew him. From one military family to another, we know the pain you feel, we understand what you are experiencing and feeling. No amount of words can ease the pain of our loss and we know first hand, there are no words of comfort at this time. We lost our only son 9-3-2004 at the age of 19 and it fells like yesterday. Just know that there are Marines and families across the USA who is experiencing your loss and pain. We will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. Our sons grew up, chose to serve our country and in that moment became a hero, a patriot. Their legacy will remain as such. May God grant you peace, strength and comfort in such a difficult time. My prayers and deepest condolences go out to the entire family.

I still fly my Marine flag and have my Marine tag and sticker on my vehicles because I am PROUD of my SON and DAUGHTER, and all the SERVICE MEN and WOMEN out there. We will always be a MARINE. We are proud of you all.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Quinn, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Yet, the names go through my mind and faces and smiles and the national news on that fateful Labor Day morning. Michael Allred, Mick Bekowsky, David Burridge, Derek Gardner, Quinn Keith, Joe McCarthy, Lamont Wilson, God Bless your families and friends, and know you all are not alone, we remember, and these lost sons bring meaning and purpose to life well lived, knowing that life is a privilege. And yes, the Iraqi interpreters whose names we have never heard, we remember you.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Quinn Keith's Family,

Tuesday it will be a year since Keith was killed. This year must have seemed so long and unbearable for you! Since my son was also in Keith's platoon, Keith's death hit me in a personal way. Every day I think of him and the others killed that weekend. I don't know if it's any comfort to you to know that while Keith is no longer here, nonetheless, he is not forgotten by others. In fact I think that Keith and the other Marines of 3rd Platoon that were killed will always be a part of me now. I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you on this undoubtedly difficult week.

Phyllis, Darrell, Dawn Carter

March 29, 2005

Quinn Keith, we will remember you and your service and ultimate sacrifice. We will remember all of the seven Marines from that Labor Day of sorrow and the Iraqi interpreter who died with them outside Fallujah. My son Darrell also served with the "2/1", though in a different company, and I am in an informal e-mail group of 2/1 parents who supported each other for those seven long months. Every one of us remembers the national news that fateful morning and the chill that came over our hearts. We just knew, and then came the phone calls from the Fox company surviving sons and we mentally ticked off who was accounted for and the waiting began. The doorbell passed us by, but several of our sons were on the scene and will bear the memories of their brothers always.

So Quinn, we come to know you only by internet searches for your name, where we find your story. We send condolences to your parents, family and friends and hope they know they are wrapped in a virtual circle of thoughts and prayers from afar. The 2/1 represented states across the nation and the seven, a true cross section of America. CNN's Paula Zahn Now show did a feature on the men of Fox company,"Pale Rider Three." Copies are available from the CNN site. Pictures of the seven closed out the show. Quinn is joined by Michael Allred, Mick (Nygard-)Bekowsky, David Burridge, Derek Gardner, Joseph MeCarthy, and Lamont Wilson. We have searched them each out and brought them to life in our hearts. Please forgive my presumption in telling this story second hand and any misinformation or mispelling. We did not know these sons in life but we can list their names from memory and every Labor Day will call September 6th, 2004. Quinn, we will carry you and your brothers in our hearts always. You have made a difference to millions and someday soon Iraqi children will dance in freedom on the sands you walked.
