Keith L. Nelson SR.

Obituary
Keith Nelson Sr. was born to Keith Foreman and Mary Jean Nelson on January 27, 1974, in Indianapolis, Indiana. At an early age, he accepted Christ as his savior and attended New Hope Missionary Baptist Church throughout his childhood. Keith received his formal education in both the Wayne and Indianapolis Public School (IPS) systems and received his high school diploma from Northwest High School in 1992. Throughout his childhood, he remained active as a member of Atkins Boys Club, Pal Club as well as participating in sports throughout his Junior high and high school years.
After graduating high school, Keith was employed at Daimler Chrysler of Indianapolis working in the Core Knockout Department for many years. However, one of his proudest accomplishments was receiving his CDLs and began driving the school bus for Pike Township. Later, Keith worked for the City of Indianapolis Department of Public Works and was promoted to Crew Leader. Keith was the proud sole owner of Lawn and Order Lawncare, LLC.
Keith had an eye for design and fashion, a love for shoes and thoroughly enjoyed listening to old school music. His love of music started him on his creative journey as a deejay. He was affectionately known as "DJ Buckwild" and was a well-respected D.J. around the city. He deejayed everything from Greek parties, graduations, night clubs and weddings and loved to share his talent with others. Keith loved watching his favorite basketball team, the LA Lakers, and was often spotted wearing his favorite Lakers gear. Although Keith engaged in many activities he loved and enjoyed his family. He enjoyed bringing the family together for the holidays, especially Christmas and planning family, school, and community reunions. Keith was very social and could relate to anyone he met and/or encountered. He never met a stranger and always had a good story to tell.
Our hearts were deeply saddened on Saturday, July 29, 2023, when Keith departed this world. He was preceded in death by his children Kristopher and Kierra; parents, Keith Foreman and Mary Jean Nelson; grandparents, Florence Nelson and James Ross.
