I've got to know Keith over past five years and words can't describe his courage and love for his family. I had the privilege to coach both of his boys in basketball and saw the joy first hand that it brought to him as a father. He and Jessica have done a wonderful job raising two great boys! You will be missed my friend.

I am so sorry to hear of Keith's passing. He was always a shining star. I remember many memories of him and all the kids when he was in high-school at Pleasant and these were some of the best times of my life. Great family, great kids, and a very special person. I am so sorry to hear of this and I will be praying for all of you. God Bless.

Keith was a third grade student in my class at Pleasant Elementary. He was a fine student and very well liked by his fellow classmates. I was saddened to hear of his death and would like to express my condolence to his entire family.

Being a fellow employee of Keith, my work day was not complete without an exchange of jokes and of course and exchange of sports talk. Keith was a resource of sports trivia. I myself, and many of us at work have missed his absence from the company and we will continue to miss him and the contributions that he made. Good by my friend. Don Crites

Keith and I worked together for many years. The two of us shared an office all by ourselves, and it was some of the best times talking kids, family, sports, and teasing each other. He was a good man who loved his family tremendously. I'm blessed to have known him and had in in my life. My heart breaks for his family but I know he is finally pain free.
