To the family of Keith:
I am sorry for your loss. I have been missing seeing him walking along New Road, especially as
daylight hours grew longer. He was a dedicated walker, out in all weather. Inspirational! Thank you for placing the wooden cross at the side of the road with Keith´s name on it. It saddens me that I will only see Keith walking in memories.
Peace.

I apologize for the delay in my reply. I didn't see this obituary at the time. Just want to express my sincere condolences to Keith's family. I also passed him almost everyday on the way to my mom's house and it was always a happy feeling when I saw Keith walking. I knew nothing about his name or who he was but I would pass him in my car and say a little prayer and ask God to keep him safe. I was devasted to hear of this tragedy and know Keith is in paradise walking among the angels.

So Many Were saddened to hear of Keith no longer walking on New Road. He was The Forest Gump of Kendall Park walking instead of running. Not many Knew his name but looked or noticed if not seen. The vest, his racoon type hat when chilly. So many people were really upset to hear it was Keith. May God bless him and know hes found Peace walking in Gods Grace.

We are so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace!, My family and I were deeply saddened when we heard what happened. We were wondering why we haven't seen him walking. We always saw him out with his vest on, and we would always look out for him, or stop to let him pass/cross the street. It such a shame. We always looked forward to seeing him on his daily juants... Keep walking in the clouds now. GOD BLESS KEITH, WE WILL MISS YOU.

I am so sorry for your loss, Keith was an inspiration to see walking on New Road everyday. I don't know his health issues but ever time I saw him it reminded me of the resilience of the human spirit to always continue on your path no matter what you struggle with or experience. I am in gratitude for that gift he gave to us. May he Rest In Peace. He is in my prayers.

Its amazing how one many could touch so many lives and he didn't even know it. Keith was my morning cup of tea and my evening end of day. We all knew to watch out for him and he always did have his vest on. In my heart I know he's walking on heavens cloud doing what he loved.

My sincere condolences. I never personally met him, but I always saw him walking around New Road with his vest on. My children and I always looked forward to seeing him as we drove by.
