David Earl Keyes of Brunson, passed away peacefully at his home Wednesday, July 24, 2024. Born October 18, 1968, in Charleston, South Carolina, he was the son of the late Teddy Jack Keyes and Mavis Adcock Keyes.
David began his love for football at Clarke Central High School where he was on the 1987 Georgia State Championship Team. David went on to play in college at Newberry College where he met his wife, Lori. David was a high school football coach for 25 years in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. He was proud to have coached many players that went on to play at all levels of the game. His greatest coaching career moment as he stated was when he got to coach both his boys in high school and then got to have Jake on the sidelines with him coaching.
David was preceded in death by his parents; and his father and mother-in-law, George and Jane McCoy.
He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Lori Reinhart Keyes; twin sons, Jake (Kerissa) and Tyler (Sam); his beloved dogs, Robert and Andy; brother-in-law, Gary (Tricia) Reinhart; nephews, Graham and Garrett Reinhart; along with several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
