What I remember most about Kieth is he was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. He was always smiling and joking around.

Keith to me was smiles and stories. He always had a smile and hug for me and his stories, well if you knew Keith you already know. His memory will always be special for me. May the family find comfort in knowing his presence will never be forgotten. My love to all.

What I remember most about Keith was how full of life and how much he loved kids. He built tree houses put up swings and ropes for the kids to play on. He was just a big kid at heart. I treasure the time I spent with him. He will truly be missed!
