Dear Jana and family, May God grant you peace when you ask Him for it. May He comfort you here on earth as Keith is being comforted in heaven.
You are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time and every time I see an expensive looking pair of leather shoes, I will think fondly on Keith and send up a prayer of comfort for the family he awaits in heaven.
With love and sympathy,

I know I have only meet you when I was little and I don't hang out with your son as much but I'm glad I met you! Don't worry I will look out for Christopher for you! RIP

Keith will always be a cherished brother in Christ that we will see in heaven, there is no doubt. Our prayers are with Jenna and family. We are sure they know that God is using Keith to further the kingdom. We will always remember Keith for his outward Love of God and his desire to please God. Most of all his excitement for the Word. In His Name, Wayne and Ginger Jordan and
Family

We were saddened to hear the terrible news of the passing of Keith LaRoche. We always considered Keith and Jana to be special friends. We can remember Keith preaching at the Exeter United Methodist Church (unofficially). We have never met a more devoted Christian. We know that Keith is in Heaven with Jesus and Gil Haley.
