Keith was a mechanic by profession, and (in his words) a "jack of all trades, but master of none". By choice in the 1980's Keith worked for Carter Roag Coal Company, owned and operated K and G Service Center in Mill Creek. He worked for Elkins Truck Service as a mechanic. During the 1990's he was a mechanic for Burns Motor Freight before going to work as a mechanic for Randolph County Department of Highways, in the 2000's he transferred into the maintenance department at the Huttonsville Correctional Facility, where he retired from.
Keith was loved by many, but liked by all that knew him. He never met a stranger; always a smile on his face, a beer in one hand, and a cigarette in the other, always a good time to be had. Keith spent his entire life devoted to his family, believing his was a protector to all, and would help anyone who asked. As Keith wished, he will be cremated, desiring to have his ashes spread on the family property in High Germany. He wishes for no formal funeral services, only to celebrate his life, not mourn his death. As we are sure he is celebrating with the many loved ones gone before him, until we meet again, your family loves you and misses you!
