We are so very sorry. Keith and Britton became instant friends at IC and continued their friendship at CBHS. He was such a great friend and he will be missed. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help you at this time.

keith was my son, he was much loved by many, but, by none as much as me. it's easy to say you loved someone like a son, but, unless they are your own child you really can't understand. he was my whole reason for living and now he's gone. I just hope everyone realizes no one can understand the grief of a mother who has lost her only child in this senseless way. I still cannot believe it's true and wake up many days forgetting for a moment that it is true.

To Larry and Family~
Words are hard to come by to offer comfort to you and assist you in this difficult time. Keith was a wonderful son and friend to many and we all will miss him. I find comfort that he will live on in our hearts and will never be forgotten. Mallie and your dad have their loving arms around their grandchildren and all are at rest. I pray you find the strength and allow God to carry you forward as well.

To all who knew Keith, you will understand when I say that he was truly a sweet ,sensitive young man. I loved him as if he were my own son and I will treasure the wonderful memories I have of him. He charmed me with that incredible smile. I learned so much from him about being soft-spoken, quiet and accepting of all persons. he was and is still so dear to my heart and will reside there forever. Peace and love.

Mr Franks and family and friends of Keith, this loss has affected me enormously, and left an empty place in my heart as I know it has yours. The only thing we can do is try to fill those spaces with happy and loving memories. We also must remember that he is at peace now, and nothing and no one can ever hurt him again. He has no fear, doubt, or pain, and never will again. Just know that he is watching over us, and will be waiting for us when we leave this life as well, and when we see him again, it'll feel like it was only moments, then we'll never be separated from him again. He will always live in my heart and soul, and will be remembered forever by so many people. He was the most loved person I know, and always will be.
love
Peace in Christ Keith

Larry,
There are no words to express the profound sorrow in my heart. You know how much I loved Keith and how special he was to my family. I feel as if a bright star has faded out. Those of us privileged to have known Keith are better for having been touched by his loving spirit. We will carry him in our hearts always. I am praying for Keith, you, Diane, and Rebecca.
Peace and my deepest sympathy to you. - Dawn Graves

Keith was a student in my science class at CBHS. He told me he was interested in photography, music, and in doing his best in class this year. Our short time together was pleasant and memorable, in that Keith would sometimes come before or after class to talk about these things. We'll miss you, Keith, & God bless you!
