Keith was a sweetheart. I was very sad to hear of his death, a loss to us all. I hadn't seen him since he moved except for once, when I ran into him at a coffeehouse in Sheridan. What a joy to see his smile. I really, really liked him and thought highly of him. I will miss Keith. Bright blessings of comfort and love to his family and close friends, may your memories bring you smiles. I'm glad he was here.

Keith was a bright light in a sometimes dark world. His smile truly could light up any crowd. Keith was smart, energetic, as social as they come, and very devoted to God. I pray that he rests in peace as I know he will and that he knows how much he was loved and how much hell be missed. Much love.

We have considered Keith a friend since our first meeting at Java Moon. Keith's kind soul and sweet personality cemented our friendship immediately. He was a bright light not only to myself but also my teenage daughters, always ready with a hug and asking how they're doing. He never missed an opportunity to offer congratulations for their accomplishments along with his encouraging words of advice. His genuine smile and beautiful heart will remain with us forever.

We opened a shop next to Java Moon years ago, and Keith was one of the first people to reach out & make us feel welcome. He was always smiling & could light up a room just be entering it. Such a good, gentle soul. Our hearts are broken at his passing, but he is with our Lord and will keep his face smiling forever now in Heaven. All our sympathy to his family.

Keith was a good friend to me during a time I really needed one.

Met Keith as I was a Letter Carrier in Laramie and he a student. One of the happiest people I know. About 40 years ago. I was always glad to see him. Talked Rock Springs some as my wife is from there. I so sorry to hear of your lost. Just had to tell you what a nice guy and joy to see. I will miss him. Peace to All.

Keith and I go way back. Specifically about 40 years ago. We worked together at Pla Mor Bowl. My mother, our boss, had such a genuine fondness for him. We teased that Keith could've been standing over a blood body, with a bloody knife, and he would say, "Verlee, I didn't do it" and she would've believed him. Keith and I reconnected when he moved to Sheridan. He knew more people in his first year here, than I did after 20+years. Loved his laugh and his personality. I am sure I will still look for him biking around downtown, and remembering that more than once, he didn't recognize me when I came into the Java Moon!

Jan 19th, 2019 Keith had a request for me. " Paul, when you sing in church this Sunday, I have a request. That is for you and Rebecca Law to sing We Are One Body..." Coincidentally, Keith was one of the first people to give me the biggest welcome to Sheridan when I walked into a local coffee shop, Java Moon. I was shocked to see him! Prior to moving to Sheridan from Zimbabwe, I had last seen Keith in our days in Laramie at the Catholic Church Newman Center. He was surprised I remembered him...well how could I not with that big smile! Thank you, Keith, and to the Taylor family for raising a guy who showed what it is to love your neighbor! I will miss the holiday text messages. The random request for a prayer or song to sing. Keith was one of my grounding people when I was on that stage. It Is Well, Keith.
