He married Kristen Comer on July 13, 1998 in Shreveport , Louisiana. They were married for 23 years. They were blessed with three daughters, Grace, Annie, and Ellie.

Keith worked for Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical as a sales representative. He was active from childhood, taking a special interest in football which would take him all the way to Evangel University. He was beloved by his peers and teammates from Evangel University. His playing position was linebacker and was known by his team members as “Captain Crunch” and the “Kingman”. Football continued to be one of his passions on the field and sidelines. He carried his Crusader pride long after retiring from the field. His involvement in the Strike Force was also a big part of his life, it gave him a place to minister and share the Gospel. Keith was admired for his sense of humor and strong will. He will be remembered for being the life of the party. Keith was bigger than life, a jokester, witty, and loved to talk. He never went anywhere he didn't know someone there or made a new friend before he left. If he liked you, then you typically got your own nickname too.

He leaves behind Kristen Comer Kingston, Grace Kingston Wischnewsky and her husband Trevor Wischnewsky & grandchildren, Charlotte and Graham Wischnewsky, Annie Kingston Ruiz and her husband Marco Ruiz, and his youngest daughter Ellie Kingston. His sister Keena McNaughton, his brother Kenneth Kingston and step-father Jimmie Lee Kingston.
