Keith Burklow Obituary
Keith "Pepper" Burklow 84, of Chesterton, passed away peacefully on Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024. He is a graduate of Elston High School. He retired after 38 years from Bethlehem Steel Mill, Burns Harbor, Indiana.
He is survived by his loving children Todd (Carol) Burklow, Michelle Lorenz, Michael (Missy) Burklow; five loving grandchildren: Zachary (Kahli) Lorenz, Kristin (George) Hylek, and Matthew Lorenz (Jackie Gaul), Kate (Bryan) Antonik, Lindsey (Deric) Green; treasured great-grandchildren: Grace, Lillian and Elliann Lorenz, Kyriaki and Keith Hylek, Campbell Antonik and Eleanor Green. He is preceded in death by his wife Judy and son-in-law Dennis.
Pepper could often be found on the golf course and generally enjoying nature. He loved his family fiercely and was never happier than when he was spending time with his family – especially his grandkids, great-grandkids. He will be greatly missed by all who are blessed to have known him. There are no services scheduled.

To Todd, Shelly and Michael, i am so sorry for your loss. I met 'Pepper' thru my hubby, Jimmie, many years ago. What characters - so much fun. I'm sure they will be up to more mischief together in heaven. God bless!

I´m sad to hear of Pepper´s passing. I´m sure my dad was waiting for him in the dynamic duo golf cart ready to play. Thinking of all of you!
