Krista and Keith that was just how I always referred to Krista if I was talking about her or Keith and Krista if i referred to you, I will never understand why the lord calls all the ones that are needed here on earth for support, friendship, love, understanding, a shoulder to cry on, or arms to hold someone that just needs a hug home to heaven so early. Keith I hadnt seen you or Krista in some time but I remember the love you two share for each other is a love that so many other people admire and will always admire and cherish in their hearts, you and Krista helped me many moons ago to get away from a situation that you had called me out on .. ha ha leave it to you two..but you two led me to the now love of my life and I will always be thankful to you and Krista and I know Krista's having a hard hard time but some how even in heaven I believe you will watch over her and protect her as you did here... I love you dear friend forever and eternity Keith, and Krista you are one of my oldest and dearest friends you have lost such a huge part of you but remember you are a great woman and an great mother and a great wife, I believe with all my heart you and Keith will be joined again in Heaven and you will share eternal life with him... I know its hard to understand and grasp right now I still dont grasp my moms passing, the only thing I can figure is he is calling all of the strong ones that held us all up home to join the forces in Heaven to make Heaven just as strong as they made us here when they were with us so that we may all return home to a very well executed plan by the lord.

Your sister, Cathy

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

Krista, My thoughts have been with you since I heared. They will continue to be with you and your family. Your husband sounds like the kind of person I like to be around. A good sense of humor is such a beautiful thing. :)

Keith,
I can't believe that you are gone, I keep expecting to see you when I come in to work. You always made me laugh with your sarcasm and crazy sense of humor. You were one of a kind. I'm so happy that I got the pleasure of working with you and getting to know you the past 2 years. This place isn't the same with out you, we all miss you very much. But I know that you will be watching over us and helping us to keep things running around here. You have some mighty big shoes to fill. But it comforts me to know that you recommended me for the job. Krista - I hope that you know that you are always welcome here at the Roadhouse. We would love to see you often. God bless you and your family.

My wife and I have known Keith since he was a child. We shared many of his life's experiences as he grew and rekindled our communication with him a few years ago. He was always quick with a friendly joke. It was much too early for Keith to have left this world.

Keith you were an amazing person and touched my life in many ways. My prayers go to all those close to you that you left behind during this hard time. I love you and miss you dearly.

I didn't know Keith, but my daughter, Ann, did and my husband met him once. Ann dropped everything to be with this family so I know Keith was a great guy. My heart and prayers go out to you all, Wilcox family and friends alike. My prayer is for God to comfort you through your grief, lift you up to see His joy in your life and bless you beyond your comprehension. I am so sorry for your loss and feel I know Keith a little just by reading this guest book. Ann speaks very highly of your family.

Keith, thank you for always making me laugh! I loved hanging out with you and krista just laughing, you always crack me up. But most of all, thank you for loving krista the way you did and giving her the world. She is my
dearest friend in the world. I know you will continue to love and watch over her.

I feel unhappy I am so sad I lost the best friend that I've ever had. We're going through changes.
We've shared the years, we've shared each day. I love you daddy But I found my way.
We're going through changes.
It took so long to realize I can still hear his last goodbyes. Now all my days I'm filled in fears, wish I could go back and change the years.
We're going through changes.
I'll miss you Dad!!!

We offer our deepest sympathy, love and support. Our biggest regret is that we did not know him better, he was an amazing man. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I still remember Keith calling me when my father-in-law passed to tell me that he was sorry, and share with me a story about my father-in-law. That is how Keith was. Always taking the time to make you his priority. Always stepping up to the daily challanges to make our service better. To make sure he and his group did everthing within his power to make us look great. I am going to miss you Keith. Cherryl Beveridge

You were an amazing man an your team will surely miss you. You were the best boss and friend we had. Your humor will be missed.

November 23, 2011

I worked at UTA with Keith. We didn't attend too many of the same meetings because his hours were way too early for me! But I was always delighted when we were working on the same projects. He had a sense of humor I could count on to make things much more interesting and fun!

To my "Brother from another mother": You are amoungst the best Bro! A loyal and helpful friend who asked nothing more than that we pay your kindness and concern forward to the next person in their time of need. With wit I will not forget, nor few can match, you made me laugh in all circumstances. Your heart is as large as we needed it to be when we needed a shoulder to lean on. Dedication is your middle name, to family, friends, and career. I won't pass a bus stop or hear a Harley roar that I won't feel and remember your presence. My brother Tim and I have cherished you as family and will remember you as such. Our prayers are with you and your family Krista...you are a Sister as he is a brother to us all...God's peace be with you and yours...Keith is in His care now. See you up yonder Bro...We will ride together again!
