Keith Karper Obituary

Keith's family was the cornerstone of his life, and he held each member close to his heart. He is proceeded in death by his father Donald Carl Karper Sr..
Keith's interests were as varied as his talents. An avid sports fan, he could often be found cheering on his favorite teams: The Ohio State Buckeyes, the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Indians, and the Cleveland Cavaliers. He had a particular admiration for LeBron James, whose career he followed with keen interest. Keith's love for sports was matched only by his love for music and movies. He had an uncanny ability to quote lines from a wide array of films, bringing laughter and light-heartedness to any gathering.
The family has made the decision to honor Keith's request to be cremated. There is no further services scheduled at this time.
