Keith King Obituary

Keith King was married to the love of his life, Dana, for 54 years. Survived by 2 children, Jeffrey (Andrea) King, and Amy (Martin) Applewhite, 6 Grandchildren and soon to be 8 Great Grandchildren.

Keith was a proud Vietnam Veteran (Army) and devoted family man who passed away with honor and dignity, leaving behind a legacy of service, strength, and quiet dedication. He will be remembered for his steadfast character, deep sense of responsibility, and unwavering commitment to those he loved and served.

Keith answered the calling to serve his country as a member of the United States Armed Forces. His time in uniform reflected his strong values, discipline, and belief in something greater than himself. He carried the lessons of his military service throughout his life, demonstrating integrity, resilience, and respect in all he did.

Beyond his service, Keith was known for his loyalty, work ethic, and willingness to help others. He was someone people could depend on-steady, reliable, and sincere. To his family and friends, he was a source of strength, wisdom, and quiet humor.

Keith is survived by loved ones who will cherish his memory and honor his life through the values he lived by. He was preceded in death by those he now joins in eternal rest.
