We had a lot of good times growing up together. Keith, Tony and I were the Matthews Bandits and would sneak out at night to drink cokes at the Family House Resturant. Keith was a great guy and will be missed. My sympathies to Tony and his family.

My deepest sympathy to Keith's family.... Keith's childhood left many happy memories in my heart.

Where or how do you start to write what is in your heart. Keith was a special kind of person and my life was blessed by knowing him. As a former neighborhood assoc. president, Keith became a very important person in our lives. Not only in his roll as a policeman but as a dear friend. Keith was not only caring he was just a geniune nice guy. He would do anything for you. I was lucky enough to do a "ride along" with Keith one night, and I wouldn't take anything for the hours we spent both working and just talking as friends.

I know that Keith was a fighter and fought his battle with cancer as hard as he could. He lost his long battle with cancer, but God now has a wonderful angel to help watch over us all.

God bless you Keith..you will be missed.

Our love and prayers are with Keith's wife,girls and other family members.

May God kept you all in His Tender Loving Care.
