Stephen R. Keith

I just learned of Stephen’s passing. Our paths crossed a few times professionally and, due to a shared love of ag and aviation, we had a small friendship. I was lucky to get a helicopter ride to view a trial, and Stephen shared all the technicalities of the helicopter. Business wise: Stephen could always be counted on for high-quality plot work. He also gave our company a complaint-management training- where I learned many intangible things. I retired and missed working with Stephen and thought of him often. Prayers to family and friends.

I want to send my condolences to the family. I knew Steve since high school. We were good friends and had some good times.I use to stay over at his house often and knew his parents and sisters. We played football and had a lot of fun in our ag class and FFA. I crossed paths with Steve when he was doing some training on weed identification at crops scout class I was attending. He saw me when he came in the room and came over to tell me to behave and not to make him look bad. Those were not the exact words that he said. We had a good laugh about it. I was always glad to hear how successful he was. Jeff Hoffman
