Keith Alan Buhs, age 60, passed away on July 24, 2024, peacefully at his home in Anthem, AZ. He was the beloved husband of Mary Buhs with whom he shared 13 incredible years of marriage, and a father to 5 beautiful children and a granddaughter. Keith was a wonderful father, a brother, and a dear friend to too many people to count across the country but especially in Illinois and Arizona. His passion was his 30+ year career as a firefighter and EMT but also in riding his Harley, on which he and Mary travelled the country, and in supporting the local Rodeo performers once he moved to Arizona. Keith followed his dreams, and we are all better people because of that, as he touched all of our hearts.
Keith is survived by his wife, Mary; and children Rebecca (Brian) Duffy, Amanda Buhs, and granddaughter Delaney Duffy; and children Bryan Boehm, Michelle Boehm and TJ Boehm; siblings Gail L. Arnold, Robert M. (Jennie), and David L. Buhs; and many loving uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.
Keith's funeral service will be Friday, August 9th at 11am at Christ's Church of the Valley (CCV) 39905 N Gavilan Peak Parkway, Anthem 85086.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (www.pancan.org) or Firefighter Cancer Support Network (www.firefightercancersupport.org).

So sorry for the loss of Keith. Years ago we were getting Bachelor of Science degrees, Keith was a semester behind me. (I went to high school with his brother Bob and sister in law Jenny). He would stop at the house to pick up notes at semester end. My then 3-4 yr old daughter would announce to us "My friend Fireman Keith is here!" It also gave her great status with the other 3-4 yr olds friends! He was a great guy will be so missed and gone much too soon. Please know our prayers are with you. Peg Miller Smith
