Keith Chrisman Obituary
Keith and Elizabeth (Liz) were parents to Stephen Chrisman (Patty), an architect in New York City and Kelly Dubyne (Dan), an interior designer in Lake Stevens, WA. They were proud grandparents to four grandchildren: James and Thomas Chrisman, and Hannah and Sam Dubyne. Other surviving members of Keith's family include his sisters Peggy (Ed) Lakin of Topeka, Kansas and Janet (Jack) Newman of Bellevue, Washington.
A graveside service for Keith and Liz will be at the City View Cemetary in Salem, Oregon on Saturday, April 29 at 11:15am., followed later in the day by a Celebration of Life Open House in honor of both Keith and Liz from 2-5pm at Willamette Valley Vineyards in Turner, Oregon.

Keith was a great father-in-law and grandfather. Lots of fond memories of our times together. We´ll miss him.

I just found out today that Keith Chrisman had died.
I worked as his office administrator, when his office was located
in the Reed Opera House, Salem, Oregon.
Keith was the best boss I ever had in my entire life. He never brow-beat or belittled me; and he was very kind and generous.
I'm very sad to hear of his passing. I will fondly remember him.
Rest in Peace Keith, in the arms of God. - Anne Hodge

We have known Liz and Keith for many many years at the Salem Golf Club. They have been great sports for games, family style gatherings and brainstorming quick building remodels : )
Creative and generous with their stories and talents we already miss them so much. God bless the whole family. We'll never forget you both.

My condolences for the loss of your parents. I worked for Keith from 2000-2002 as his part-time office manager. I enjoyed his quick wit and sense of humor. Unfortunately, I will not be in town but my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

From #1 favorite Sister Janet & #1 favorite Sister Peggy

Keith had 2 favorite sisters. Janet & Peggy.
He would send each of us a birthday card or poem saying we were his favorite sister. Little did he know he sent each of us the same card. We had a good laugh. We miss him & loved our favorite brother.

Keith always had time for people, no matter how busy he was. Informed opinions and a quick wit flavored his conversations. I already miss our coffee times and lively discussions on our long walks. He was a friend, smart with a lively sense of humor, as well as being a talented architect.
