You remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Was thinking of Keith Bird Gilbert today and discovered his obituary was still online. I first met Bird in Fort Stockton in 1968 when he was one of my students at Fort Stockton High School and on my golf team. He later went on to Angelo State University where he became a fraternity brother in Lambda Chi Alpha. Years later (1977), he was an usher in my wedding. Keith was a friend and a person that you never forget.

Dear Mrs Gilbert,
I am so sorry to hear about Coach Gilbert. I am also sorry it is a year later that I have heard about him. He was such a sweet wonderful man. I knew him at a time when school is just hard for everybody...Middle School. May he rest in peace and may you find peace as well.

Love,

Mrs. Gilbert and family,

I found out about Coach Gilbert just recently. I want you to know that I repected Coach Gilbert more than any other coach I ever had. You also were a great influence in my life. I still think about the days on the field with him and in the class with you! I thank God for your family. My prayers are with you all.

Jeanie,Chase and family,

I just found out today about Keith. I am so very saddened by the news. My deepest sympathy to all of you. May GOD be with you. I miss you all. Renea (Medina) Jones

Today is Sunday April 29th, 2007. I just found out about Keith, I had not seen him in about four years. The last time we spoke was at a coaching clinic. I am deeply saddened by his passing, and I wish to extend my thoughts and prayers to his wife and children. We had some great times together, and I still consider Keith, Rick, Gene, and Mark, to be the greatest guys I have ever coached with. Good bye buddy, have a great season! Coach Close

Coach Gilbert,
I still remeber playing against coppell jv team back in 1993. It had rained all day on that jv football thursday. I remember walking on the field at the junior high and you brought me to the side and told me " Castleman if you try today as hard as you tried to get past Patterson (Casey) there will not be any member on that team that will get past you tonight." Even after 6 years and running into you at the Dillards at Hulen Mall I came to you and repeated that message back...
