KEITH HARMON Obituary

KEITH HARMON Keith Harmon, of Blue Springs, Mo., (originally Independence), made his transition on April 17, 2025. Keith graduated from Truman High School in 1973. He took pride in a lifetime career with the Missouri Pacific/Union Pacific Railroad. Keith was a lifelong avid physical fitness buff who loved all sports, especially golf. Some of you may have run into Keith lifting weights, etc., at several gyms, where he mentored several other athletes over the years. He was a confirmed bachelor, until at age 50 when he married the love of his life, Carla. Carla, who also died of cancer much too early, will be thrilled to have the love of her life back by her side, as will his mom and dad, Dusty and June Harmon, and his sister Debbie Cole. A small graveside ceremony is planned for immediate family. Keith is survived by his son Kalab and his partner Sarah, grandchildren Amelia and Charlotte, brothers and their spouses Brent, Nancy, Kevin and Cindy, and brother-in-law Bob and his partner Catherine, along with nephews Harrison, Will and Ian. He also leaves behind a large, loving extended family, lifelong friends from high school, railroad buddies, and all of those he touched with his generosity and his spontaneous spirit. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

This was so disheartening to hear. Keith was not only the bright light of the neighborhood but of Woods Chapel area as well. His kind heart and many stories of his family especially grandkids will be missed. I only wish I will live my life as he did. Fly high on that mountain Keith!
