I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Keith's death in the latest Wolf Tracks. Keith graduated from SPS with my brother, Trey Daigle, and my husband, Chuck Brown. I also knew him through horse shows. It is difficult to picture a world without Keith's quick wit and New Orleans style...! Sincerely, Patti Daigle-Brown

My Dearest Keith we are so mourning your leaving us. We will miss you more then life itself our BEST FRIEND. You gave Brian and I so much LOVE and JOY every time we were together. The fabulous parties the trips to Europe the intimate dinner parties by the pool where we would talk for hours and hours. You shared so much of life's lessons with us and we will CHERISH EVERY MINUTE OF IT ALL in our memories FOREVER!
You were the BEST THING that ever happened to us. I can't imagine what life would have been without you and I am so sad now to think we have to face life without you. All I can say is We Will Relieve the Memories over and over again we will never let those die!
I know that you are in Heaven with lots of your friends and your relatives and tons of new people for you to mesmerize with your good looks and charming ways! Just like we did when we first met you. I am so jealous! Know that we LOVE YOU and that LOVE will LAST FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS and in our MINDS!
YOU WERE SO SPECIAL KEITH!! Brian and I WILL MISS YOU TERRIBLY!!
The Three Musketeers FOREVER!
Dearest Ana, Nan, Lisa and all the Ribbeck Family, know that our hearts and thoughts are with you. Ana you did a marvelous job bringing up this young man! He LOVED you so and cared so much for all of his Family. I would hear stories that were truly so special about your Family back when he was a little boy up until the last trip to the beach. You were all there for him and he knew it. He was truly SO BLESSED to have such an incredible Family.
God Bless You All.

Keith was one of the very first people that I met and got to know when I began working at the Audubon Nature Institute in 1992. He was a lovely man. Always sweet, kind, caring, and willing to help with anything he could. Most of our interaction was done over the phone, with the occasional visit to my office. It was always a pleasure seeing him and talking to him. I want to offer my utmost sympathy and condolences to his family. I hope that good memories will help sustain you all through this difficult time. He will live on through all of you. Carol Blakesley

To my darling, beautiful, lovely, loving, gorgeous Pansy Pants. May you now be at peace, floating around on your sparkling pink cloud of love giving them all a piece of that vibrant, loving and funny personality. I miss you every hour of every day, I miss hearing your voice, I miss you telling me to stop being sassy, I miss you calling me and asking "where's my coffee Limey". I miss everything about you and hope you know how much I love you. You came into my world and I was and am blessed to have known you, you were my best friend and I will cherish our fabulous memories forever. Love you always Keith, you are a star that will go on shining in all our lives forever.......Lots of love Lady Moore. xxx

Keith lived life by the golden rule exponentially. The love he shared with friends and family from NOLA and beyond has joined us all together in grief but mostly gratitude.
He is loved beyond measure and his memory will bring a smile each time I think of him.
