Keith Ronald Morlock, 64, left this earth peacefully in his home on June 28th, surrounded by loving family and friends.
Keith was born on June 12th, 1961, in Cleveland, Ohio, the son of Ronald and Barbara Morlock. Growing up in the communities of Glen Ellyn and Naperville, graduating from Naperville Central, he developed a strong work ethic and a deep love for his family. Keith went on to pursue a successful career in landscaping to which he dedicated himself for over 35 years.
A loving husband to Holly Morlock, Keith was a pillar of strength and support for his family. He was a devoted father, always there to provide guidance, love, and a good, long laugh from an inappropriate joke. He cherished family gatherings and his presence brought warmth and joy to all those who were blessed to have known him.
Keith had many passions; fishing, Father-Daughter dates, yelling at the news, going on long drives in the family's convertible mustang, and calling loved ones regularly. He enjoyed conversation with all, friends and strangers alike. He was known for his witty banter and his sense of humor that would light up any room.
Keith is survived by his loving wife Holly Morlock, his children; Christopher (Cheryl) Morlock, Charlotte Morlock, and Joee Morlock; his grandchildren, Jacob, Cameron, Arianna, Brooklyn, and Carter Morlock; his sisters, Leslie Spiller and Heidi (Fred) Wolter; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, July 12th with visitation from 9-10:30am with a service at 10:30 am at Good Shepherd Church located at 1310 Shepherd Drive, Naperville, IL 60565. Friends and family are invited to pay their respects and reminisce on memories of Keith.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made at the link below to Little Friends, Inc. in Keith's memory.

Dear Morlock Family,
Keith was such a bright energy when he entered the room. He was very easy to talk to and made the transition for Jojo to NKU comforting. NKU Cheer sends our deepest condolences to the Morlock family.

I never met Keith, but I heard amazing things about him from his daughter, Charlie, who is my best friend. My condolences to Charlie, Holly, Joee, Chris as well as the other Morlocks, the Lloyds and any other loved ones. May he rest in peace.
