Keith was a man full of kindness and that "special" caring. He touched so many lives in a mighty way - with love. "And now these three remain faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is LOVE."
1 Corinthians 13:13

Our deepest sympathies go out to Keith's family. We all grew up in "Highland" together and I remember Keith and the other older guys playing basketball and football with us. Some of my fondest memories are of the riding lawn mower races and pulling contests he and Mr. Charlie used to have in the alley behind theirs and Miss Virginia's houses. Those were really special times. Keith was a great guy and will be missed. I will not personally be able to attend the services but there will be representatives from the Stewart/ Davis family there.

Please accept our deepest and sincere condolences in Keith's passing from my mother and the entire Wade family. We had many happy memories in Highland.

Uncle Keith was one the men that helped shape my life. Along with Pop, I took my cues on how to be easy going and laid back from Uncle Keith.

I loved spending time as a child with him, trying to act, look and sound like him. He always called me B in a way that was kind, gentle and in a loving way only an uncle could.

To say he will be missed does not fully express how many people he has touched. If you look at the impact he has made on your life, by making you smile or laugh when nobody else could or would. When he would offer a hand even when it meant he was giving up something.

He was truly a giving, caring and loving man.

Uncle Keith, tell Honey and Pop I love them.

God Bless you,

B

Deb and Terry,
I know that there are now words that will ease your pain. Just remember that when your pain gets to great that their is only one person that can help and that is God. If you go to him, I am sure that you will find out that there is nothing that you and him can not work out together.
I love you both and you can call me if you need me.
