I knew Keith in Albuquerque. What a great dad! First time I ever met a dad who was so totally devoted to his child's well-being, and he was doing a great job raising a great kid. Although I knew Keith for just a couple of years, all of my memories are good ones...great steaks on the grill, cool house in the north valley, friendly and welcoming guy. My heart breaks for Caleb and the family. Keith, if you can see this...I definitely believe you led a life well lived and leave behind many precious memories that will be treasured in the years to come...Godspeed, my friend.
