Charles Keith Thomas

Charles Keith Thomas, 77, of Winamac, IN passed away Friday, December 20, 2024 at Northwest Health Hospital in LaPorte, IN. He was born on September 18, 1947 in Frankfort, IN to the late Charles Henry and Margaret Irene [Terry] Thomas. Keith attended Sharpsville High School in Tipton County with the class of 1965 and earned a GED in 1986 – the same year his daughter graduated from high school. Keith was a veteran of the US Army serving in Europe during the Vietnam War. On May 21, 1971, he married the love of his life, Sharon Kay Burger, in Kokomo, IN.
Keith worked hard throughout his entire life. For many years, he owned and operated various businesses, served as manager of numerous apartment and housing communities, and worked in road construction. He excelled at whatever he did whether it was playing baseball as a boy, to cards as an adult, to whatever he put his mind to. When he wasn't working, Keith enjoyed vacations with Sharon - visiting many wonderful places and making amazing memories. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially hunting, fishing, and camping. Later in life, he insisted on doing all the cooking for Sharon.
Keith had a great sense of humor and was very ornery. He was also very devoted to his family and friends. He enjoyed helping anyone who was in need. Keith will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
