Lewis Keith Slade

Still miss him...

Slade was a great guy to work for. He was passionate, funny, and charismatic. I am glad I got to work for him and will miss him. Prayers to his family and his TTSS family.

Keith left a mark on so many lives. It was a blessing to know him. He always had a good story to share. I saw him just a month or so ago and he was telling me all about how proud he was of Lauren and Travis and what they were doing. You could hear the love in his voice. We will miss him.

Travis, Lauren and family,
Only God knows why this had to be. My deepest, most sincere condolences. May the memories of your dad bring you peace and also comfort you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I knew and worked for your dad for 27 years. He will always be a part of my life, my buddy and my boss. I will truly miss him, but he will continue to live forever in my heart. He was the most humble, sincere, caring man I ever met. He will be cherished in my memories forever. SLADE THE BLADE
May you rest in heavenly peace Mr. Slade.

While trying to write this, I can hear Slade saying, "Christola, it doesn't hurt to tone it down a little." Oh well, I can't do that right now. Rare is the person who is not only a wily legend, but also a spiritual inspiration, wise mentor and caring friend. Slade lived his values and showed me it is possible to be a good person and a good lawyer. He left a permanent mark on my life. I know he'd absolutely love the perfect words here by Lauren and Travis, his pride and joy. I'll miss him every day...life truly won't be the same without him.

Lauren and Travis,

So very sorry for your loss. I pray The Lord would give you peace and leave you with great memories of your father.

I learned more from Keith than any man other than my own father, and I am deeply appreciative of the impact he had on my life.

You remain in my prayers.

The crazy memories of coaching little league together will stay with me forever. Keith's kindness, sincerity, and humbleness made it special to know him. His spirit touched all who knew him. His Family is in our prayers.

Keith was great man, a gifted attorney and a wonderful friend that I was privileged to know and learn from.

This quote from the tribute pretty much sums up the man I knew:

It didn't matter who you were, L. Keith Slade would shoot it straight and tell you how he really felt.

I worked for Keith for over ten years as a paralegal. He put a smile on our faces everyday. He taught me so much about law and life. The world is a dimmer place without his smile and kindness. I wish I could have had just one more conversation with him... But I am sure that everyone who knew him does...:( Rest in peace sweet friend.

My sincere condolences to Keith's family. Keith was an excellent attorney, but above all an honest and fair man.

I met your Dad only a few times, but I know what a remarkable man he was through my son, Matthew and my grandson, Sean. Matt regarded your father as his mentor and his friend. Sean loved to go to the deer lease when Mr. Slade was there because Mr. Slade let him shoot the rifle. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find comfort in your memories and the many friends who will surround you during your time of grief.

My sincerest condolences to the family. May your wonderful memories comfort and strengthen the family in the days ahead. Psalms 90:10
