One of the nicest guys I've ever met....easily give you his shirt...you'll be missed ....

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family in your time of grief. Keith was a super nice guy and will be greatly missed.

My condolences go out to the entire Keckler family. Keith was a good friend who will be greatly missed.

Our sympathies go out to you Jacque and Brian. We always enjoyed Keith’s company and he will be missed.
