Keith M. Whitney

Sorry to hear of Keith's passing. Had contact with him when I did the ordering for Frankenmuth Fundraising. He was always cheerful, happy and smiling. He would go out of his way to correct any situation. Great person!

Sorry to hear of Keiths passing. Remembering the old softball wars and appreciating the guys (like him) that never fell into the war of words on the field. A true gentleman as is brother Darryl. Will be missed.

Derryl, Mrs. Whitney, Shelly and Nick
I've been very sad since hearing about Keith's passing. I'm down here in Tampa and during Christmas, I was eating some expensing, but not so good cashews, and I said to myself " When I get home I need to go see Keith and get some good ones".
I will miss him as I know all of you will very much. May it give you peace knowing he was one of those people you know that go directly to Heaven!
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Shelley - So sorry to hear this sad news. I still remember the incredible treats that you and Keith always provided for the Yeo and Yeo Thanksgiving luncheon! :) Our family is sending good thoughts and prayers to you and yours. Keith will certainly be missed as evidenced by the all of the heartfelt tributes seen here! He was a great man.

Shelley, Darryl and family...our first memory of Keith was in Ludington at a softball tournament...he was always a great guy!
I know he will be missed so very much...we send our thoughts and prayer your way as you find your way through this difficult time.

being a member of the nhyc gave me time with Keith that was priceless, being able to feed him what ever came off my grill and his appreciation for my cooking are moments to be cherished, God Bless him and his family!

Shelly, words cannot express my sympathies to you for your great loss. Keith was an extraordinarily spirited man. All who knew him, loved and respected him. I keep you, Nick, Norma and Derryl in my prayers. May you find strength in God! Love to all, Mo

I've known Keith since we were playing little league baseball. He was a gifted athelete, a warm and friendly person, and a friend to all in the LaBerge family. Keith would take time to come over and chat whenever I entered one of my favorite Bay City stops-his candy store. We worked for a brief time together at UPS. Both of us were so glad to have left that employment. But we agreed that we would have been retired by now if we had stayed. Looking back, we both made the right decision. I had the opportunity to sit and enjoy a baseball game at a Caro hosted tournament several years ago. Keith and I enjoyed the sunshine of the day and reminiscing about our playing days and life at Garber. Keep smiling Keith!

I always enjoyed chatting with Keith whenever I was in the store! A Lot of his relatives I took there to meet with him. He was my cousin and a great guy! I will miss him!! I am in Florida and cannot make it to his service, but I will be thinking of him and will one day see him again in Heaven!! Margie Whitney Kirk

Shelly, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. May God give you the strength and peace that only He can at this time of great sorrow.

Heartbroken for Shelly and Nicholas. Prayers of Peace for the whole family. Reading the entries, nothing was left unsaid. He was a soft hearted uplifted spirit! He made his path the way God intended and touched many lives in a positive way. God needed him back.

I graduated with Keith, there are some who no matter the distance or time bring a smile to your face and a warmth to your heart when you think of them - that was Keith. I'm heartbroken - may our Lord wrap his loving arms around all of us especially his wife, son and families and give them the strength and warmth of his love in the months ahead. Rest in peace Keefer

I knew Keith threw a mutual friend, and once you meant him he treated you just like family, always kind hearted and very caring person. I bet no one can say anything but kinds words about Keith. He will be missed by all of the Frank & Vantol dearly. We love you Keith. R.I.P.

Whitney Family,
Heartbroken over the sudden death of Keith. He was " one of a KIND" . He could light up a room with his blue eyes, smile & laughter! Always so thoughtful , generous, and just a great guy! We were friends for over 30 years , I can't imagine coming back to Bay City and not seeing him anymore at St. Laurent Brothers, (best gummy bears ever) He will be sadly missed by so many. He loved his family & work so much!
May Gods love , peace and grace embrace you all in these difficult days ahead . What an awesome Angel you will have looking over you. RIP Keith , thanks for all the great memories and know you will never be forgotten.
Forever in my heart...

If Bob Seger had a person in mind when he wrote and sang "Like a Rock", it must have been Keith. A more kind and friendly man you will have never met. I was blessed to have known him since kindergarten. May God bless us all in his memory.

I have done business with Keith for nearly 25 years, he was a good man, always fun and happy, I liked him, really did. I am sad over his passing. Last time I saw him, a few months ago I did have a feeling that he maybe was not feeling well, and I was concerned. I will miss him, for sure. Condolences to the family from my heart.

My heart is broken. The thought of walking into St. Laurent Bros. and not seeing this kind wonderful man makes me so sad. It is hard enough missing my fathers and my uncles when I go there, but the joy of seeing Keith was so healing. He embodied the spirit of love and fun that my grandfather and great uncle planned for the store. I send my love and prayers to his co workers, family and friends.

Sorry to hear of Keith's passing. He was a kind and generous man and one who will be missed by many!

Dearest Norma, Derryl, Shelly and Nick. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this tragic time. Keith was such a kind, wonderful man. RIP Keith.
