Not sure what to say?

Keith,
You are the true meaning of a perfect husband, dad and grandfather. I have many memories of gold panning to hunting at 4am to learning to shoot a gun, to growing up and you moving me to my first apartment to making sure we had a truck when we had nothing. You truly are perfect Keith and it shows in your entire family. I will always cherish the memories and continue to make more memories with Sandi, Lyndsey, Jasmine and Liberty. I love you.

You and sandi were my second parents growing up. Thank you for letting me come over ALL the time. I always thought you had the most gentle and sweet spirit, so kind and loving. I have always thought your projects were awesome and it has inspired me to make my backyard into a little oasis, I loved your rock walls! You will be greatly missed, thank you so much for my wonderful memories.

Years ago you taught me the proper way to fish...you know what I'm talking about. It seemed like yesterday when we were out "scouting " for deer and rattlesnake hunting. The world lost a true craftsman when you were taken. Till we meet again my brother.

Doesn't matter how old I get, you will always be my "Uncle Keith." You made an impact on so many lives just by being you. Your quiet but consistent presence is missed by more people than you could probably imagine, but especially by your girls.

I love you, Uncle Keith.

I'm finding it hard to believe and accept that you won't be here with us. Lindsey and I miss you so very much. I will always love you.

Keith, I still tell the fishing stories about you, dad and I at Grace Lake! No one believes em! But I know and will never forget!

Although my memories of Keith are from my childhood, they are all fond memories. Racing to the rescue, from Kim slipping and falling and him being right there to sweep her up to comfort and protect her, to teasing us little girls, seeing how gullible we could be :)
He left this world doing the greatest thing a Daddy could do for his sweet girl, trying to save her life. We love you Keith, and you will forever be a hero.

I've loved you for as long as I can remember, and you will always be my "Endless Love". Thank you for being such a wonderful husband and father and grandpa. My life will never be the same without you. Take care of our girl. Til we meet again. All my love.
