On the morning of July 22nd, 2024, Donivon Keith Jennings passed away peacefully from liver disease at WellStar Hospice in LaGrange Georgia. He was 57 years old.
Keith, as most knew him by, was born February 22nd, 1967, in Langdale, Alabama to Ronald Rickey Jennings and Katherine Shirley (Cotney) Jennings. He began working at a young age learning electrical work with West Point Pepperell. He had a natural talent for music and was able to share that with people playing with bands like Gunner and The Southern All-Stars. As he got older, he started his own businesses, working on cars, small engines, and electrical contracting.
Keith had a love for all animals, at one point housing large cat rescues and various other wildlife. His favorite dog Bender spent many years at his side while he worked at job sites. He was also well known on the internet for his Bigfoot research in Alabama through the North American Primate//Hominid Research Organization.
Keith was proceeded in death by his mother, Katherine Shirley Mann, grandparents SJ Cotney and Katherine Smith of Lanett, and DeWitt and Geraleen Jennings of Valley. He is survived by his wife, Deanna Stroer Jennings, Father Ronald Rickey Jennings, sister Melanie Jennings Belyeu, children Mark Jennings, Ashley Jennings, Chris Jennings, Brandon Jennings, Madison Jennings Hall, three stepchildren, two nephews, and many grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be held on August 10th at 2PM EDT at Happy Valley Baptist Church, 1623 49th Ave SW, Lanett, AL 36863. The family would love to hear stories of Keith as part of the celebration.

I remember going to see a band play in Auburn at a Phi Tau fraternity. They were awesome. The name of the band was Inside Out. I'm a guitarist myself, so I was watching the guy on guitar. The next day, I was outside my house and ...there he was! Little did I know, I only lived a few spots down from Keith on the same road. Small world. So we formally introduced ourselves and became really close and good friends from then on. We played some music together. Keith showed me a good deal in life. I was an alcoholic and at that time, I was young and stupid. I got all drunk one night after Keith moved back to Valley and started a fight with Keith for no good reason. He threw me out on my butt into the yard. I apologized, but Keith was done. Things were never the same after that and we just lost contact with one another. I wish I would have looked him up and squashed everything. I've been sober now for 7 years. Until we meet again.. You were a great friend. ~Quentin J. Dill
