Keith Scheid

Keith was the coolest brother-in-law we could ever ask for, and he made my little sister pretty happy. He was a kind dad, a good husband, and a true Renaissance man. We are sad he did not win his fight, but so very glad he was in our lives for as long as he was. We wish we had been able to spend lots more time with him. Farewell, Keith. Our condolences, Loretta & John.

Keith was very thoughtful. I remember when I was able to visit while in Washingon, he made sure he had my favorite beer. I know he is now enjoying a glass of heavenily craft beer while breathing deeply and moving freely.

Keith was simply and beautifully an all around great guy. I always enjoyed talking with Keith. Especially about books! And I had the pleasure of reading his lovely children's book too, so I know what a good writer his was. I'm mostly an arm chair traveler so I listened to his stories about his and Loretta's travels with great interest. I'd laugh every time I received a postcard from Keith and Loretta because I'd have to get the magnifying lens out in order to read the avalanche of tiny words...

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

From Loretta: We did not ask for the plant trees option on this page--it's a nice thought, but instead we appreciate you considering donations in Keith's honor being made to: Feeding America, Internet Archive Digital Library, or Habitat for Humanity. The first time I met Keith was at an outdoor party and we didn't hit it off. It was cordial, but he was distracted by all the people he actually knew. But the next year we met again at Garry & Becky's Halloween party and we've been together ever...
