Keith Walston

Keith Walston was born in Rockford Illinois on April 16, 1973, to the parents of Jacqueline Walston & Roger Lee Walston (ascended). He finished his school education at Auburn High School. He was baptized at Bethel Baptist Church. Keith has always kept his faith in God.
Keith shared a special bond with his older brother Lamont, who stepped up as a father figure after their dad passed when Keith was six. Despite their childhood antics, they grew to respect and look out for each other as adults.
Keith was a Hustler, Hard-worker, protector, quick-witted, strong, funny, influential, hip with a big heart, are a few of the words that Keith's loved ones would use to describe him.
Keith was the same with everyone, he didn't pretend. The hard lessons in his life turned him into a beautiful person. He appreciated where he came from to become the great man he was. We can all agree that he was a fighter above all.
Keith moved to Georgia at 17, he welcomed his first child Taneisha and then later met his wife, Carmencita, through a mutual friend.
They bonded over their love for food, with Keith becoming passionate about grilling while Carmen handled the seasoning. Their relationship, grounded in faith, grew stronger over 27 years, and they built a beautiful life together, raising two children.
Keith was a proud father and adored his grandchildren, Aiden and Alaya. He cherished reminiscing about his upbringing in Rockford, IL, and always prioritized his family's security.
Keith's legacy of love, laughter, and determination will never be forgotten, and he will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
Keith is survived by his devoted wife, Carmencita Walston, and his three cherished daughters, Taneisha, Keshauna, and Jada Walston. He also leaves behind his beloved grandchildren, Aiden and Alaya, his mother Jacqueline McClenland, and his stepfather Ken McClenland. His brother Lamont Walston, sister Lisa Egbert, and extended siblings Shawn (Erica) McClelland, Nick (Kim) Bridgeman, Nicole (James) Brown, and Tierre Brazzell; His nephew Montairo (Nephew) (Shanta), Nick Mowell (Brandie), His nieces Sharde', Monteisha (his Ace), Heaven, Kelsey Weems (Ted). His great nieces Zander, Lilly, Ryder and Jett will deeply miss him.
