Keith, I will always remember the smile on your face, the sound of your laugh, and the good times we shared together. You always brought out the best of everyone around you. I am thankful for the times that we shared but at the same time, I am sad they have come to an end. RIP my brother and see you on the other side.

Diane, Ryan, Bill and other family friends,
Wow what a shock it was to hear this news last night!! I used to babysit Keith and Ryan back in the day on Colonial Court. Even though I haven't seen Keith in quite sometime, as I read over the condolences and read about Keith's infectious smile, I can SURELY still see that smile!! Keith will forever hold a place in all of our hearts. May the memories get you through the healing. Rest in Peace Keith.

God Bless.

Keith, it has been a honor to have met you. I truly cannot believe I am writing this and I wish I wasn't. You were on of my first friends at HACC and your wisdom and logic will be instilled in my heart forever. I miss you already and wish I could see you this semester. Rest in Peace, buddy. (By the way, thank you for introducing me to Lost!).

Sammy, you never failed to put a smile on my face everytime we met on the dancefloor. Thinking of all the fun and happy times we had. You were always so upbeat, down to earth, generous and kind. You'll truly be missed.

Keith, you were one of my first DC friends. I met you at one of my very first EDM experiences, I'll never forget that night. You were so friendly to me and made me feel like I fit right in. I continued to see you out and about and you would always make it a point to talk to me, in fact you were one of the only ones i could talk to out on the dance floor without feeling awkward... you just had that openness about you. You could light up that dance floor with that incredible smile of yours! I'll always have a place in my heart for you. Though I only got to know you a short 4 years you made an imprint on my heart that i will forever have. I hope you are at peace now my friend. We all love you so dearly, you will never be forgotten. I'll see you again one day, and we'll tear the dance floor up once more!

Sammy...I never got the chance to tell you how much I cared for you. You had such a vibrant spirit, and were one of the most sweet and genuine people I knew. I was just thinking about you the other day and I wish I called to see how you were doing. I'm absolutely heartbroken. You were one of the few that supported me from the beginning... you came to my gigs and you had every one of my mixes...even the ones I only had up for less than an hour or so :) You will never be forgotten. I hope you are at peace now and it comforts me to know that you are not in pain anymore. My heart goes out to all of your loved ones.

I will miss you and your infectious smile that lit up the room. You left us too soon.

RIP :(

Your love of music was amazing. I remember going with you to Ska shows, Swing shows, and then going to clubs so you could enjoy great Techno shows. I miss those times, and I miss going with you to them. I'm lucky enough to have known you as a friend, and when I go to my next show, I'm going to find a small corner of the room and find a sticker and put Keith "Sammy" Wilson was here. It sucks so much that you're gone, but you are certainly not forgotten.
