Keith, Sr. lived a full and vibrant life. At an incredibly early age, he developed a love for trucks and motorcycles and as soon as he was able to drive, he kept the roads hot. He had the keen ability to operate anything with a motor and wheels. To friends and family, he is affectionately known as Big Keith, Truck, KDub and Chocolate Covered Redneck.

Keith, Sr. had a contagious smile and laugh that was recognizable without seeing him. He treasured spending time participating in the annual Stoney Roberts Demolition Derby with his son, Keith, Jr. as well as sharing a strong passion for the Eagles.
