Keith enjoyed hunting, fishing, reading and was a member of the NRA. He loved watching football, living on a farm in the mountains, and spending time with family and friends, especially his grandchildren. Keith was always interested in staying informed about world affairs and loved to share his insights with others. He was a state inspection mechanic for many years and was also a proud holder of a CDL Class A license. Keith was a jack-of-all-trades, an exceptional problem solver and loved passing on his wisdom to future generations. He had a heart of gold, generous spirit and always wanted the best for everyone.
