Keith M. Knox 96 of Garfield passed away January 25, 2026, in Rogers. He was born on December 15, 1929, in LaRue, Arkansas, the son of Horace M. and Mary Bell Pittillo Knox. Keith retired in 1995 from the Benton County Road department after many years. He was an avid farmer, gardener, and woodworker. In his younger years he also enjoyed square dancing, fox hunting, playing cards & dominoes, and reading Louis L'Amour novels. Keith loved spoiling & teasing his wife Jean over the years and sharing his love of animals and gardening with his 4 children and numerous grandchildren. He taught all of us the importance of hard work, helping friends and neighbors, and always being there for family. Keith was a caring and devoted caregiver to his Mom, Mary Bell, for several years and again to his wife Jean in the last years of her life. Throughout his life he loved being outside, whether it was riding his buckskin horse Trixie as a young man to working on his farm as an adult. In later years he could be seen riding his 4-wheeler around the farm with his companion Little Dog. Keith will be remembered as a hard worker, caring neighbor, and devoted family man. He was loved by many and will be missed.
