Keith Birch, a beloved son, brother, nephew, and friend, was born on November 13, 1973, in Saint Charles, Missouri. He departed this life on January 1, 2026, in St. Peters, Missouri, leaving a legacy of hard work, love for family, and cherished memories that will forever resonate in the hearts of those who knew him.

From a young age, Keith demonstrated a remarkable dedication to all aspects of his life. His tireless work ethic began at just twelve years old, a testament to his character and drive. He graduated from Saint Charles Community College with an Associates in Database Management, a pursuit he approached with the same diligence and commitment that characterized his entire career.

Keith's personality was infused with a passion for life. He was an avid pool player, and his musical talents shone through as he played the guitar and piano, often filling the air with melodies that uplifted those around him. Outdoor adventures brought him great joy; whether spending time on the river or hunting with his dad and brother in his younger years, Keith found peace in nature's embrace. Above all, he cherished the moments spent with family and close friends, creating bonds that many sought to emulate.

He is survived by his loving sister, Melanie (Chris) Charboneau; devoted brother, Chad (Cadie) Birch; cherished nephews, Shane Charboneau and Cooper Hinch; a treasured niece, Ella-Rae Frank; aunt, Pam Ummelmann; and many loving cousins and friends. Each of these individuals held a special place in his heart and contributed to the rich tapestry of his life.

Keith was preceded in death by his parents, William and Brenda Birch, and his grandparents, who undoubtedly welcomed him with open arms. Their love and guidance shaped the incredible person he became, and they remain a part of his enduring spirit.

A visitation to celebrate Keith's life will be held on January 10, 2026, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, followed by a memorial service at 1:30 PM at Newcomer Funeral Home in St. Peters, Missouri. In honoring Keith's life, we remember the laughter he shared, the love he gave, and the indelible mark he leaves on our hearts. He may be gone, but his spirit lives on in the countless memories shared with those who loved him. His dedication to his craft, his passion for life, and his unfaltering love for his family will forever inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to go toward the cost of funeral services.
