Keith, you were a unique individual created by God. I think of the verse from Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. God bless you. Linda Heilman

Every time I hear a weather forecast for Phoenix I'll think of you & your Arizona room. Glad I got to spend some time with you before you were called home. RIP Keith Edward. ~ Valerie ~

Keith, We miss your phone calls; I keep thinking I'm going to hear your "Hey". But no, that's not going to happen. I'm sure you found that your Mom was waiting for you. We hope you both are enjoying a fantastic crossword puzzle and looking down on us all with love in your hearts. May God bless you forever. Love from your sister-in-law.

Keith was a friend as well as a hiking companion. He visited us in Logan and spent a week seeing the sights around the area. I spent a few days helping him with his deck and got to know the "Sardine Ranch". So surprised and sorry to hear of his accident and resulting death.

We will miss you Keith. We had some fun times hiking with you and always enjoyed the potlucks at the Sardine ranch. You'll never be far from our thoughts when we're out hiking beautiful Arizona.
