Our beloved Keith Anthony Wilson, was born on February 19, 1967 to parents Janice Wilson Alexander and Charles (Bobby) Wilson. Keith lost his courageous battle with Cancer on July 20, 2025. Keith received his education, in the Baltimore City school system, where he met his life long and best friend, Kenny Ellis in 1979.
At a very early age, Keith developed a great love for sports, music and animals, all of which would continue throughout his life and you would most often find him at local karaoke nights, harmonizing his favorite tunes or listening to his oldie but goodies, especially with a cold one in tow. One of Keith's favorite singers was Marvin Gaye and he would jokingly refer to himself as a young Marvin. Keith absolutely loved animals, dogs specifically and one of his favorite parts of Thanksgiving was watching The National Dog Show. You could literally ask Keith anything about an animal and he would have an answer for you that more often times than not, was true. Keith LOVED boxing (most would consider him a historian) and was an avid football fan. He literally watched every fight, both past and present and didn't play about his team, the Indianapolis Colts.
Coming up, one of Keith's favorite things to do on a Saturday morning, was to catch the bus to go grab something to eat and pick up some body oils. Keith loved smelling good and grooming his beard and although he never drove or had a license, could tell you how to get to anywhere in Baltimore, both East and West. In 1993, Keith welcomed his 1st son, Lil Keith into the world, whom he developed an ever lasting relationship and bond with and loved so very much. During one fated encounter, in October, 2014 where he was at the wrong party at the right time, Keith met and would later marry his wife, Trina and in 2017, at the tender age of 50, welcomed his 2nd son Christian into the world, whom he loved and adored so very much. Keith's children were his life and something he was most proud of and he created bonds with the both of them, that could never be broken.
Over the last 11yrs., Keith settled down a lot and got to experience and accomplished so very much with becoming a husband, buying a car, becoming a home owner and being what he was most proud of, being a loving, dedicated father and although the last 2yrs. were challenging for Keith, he remained optimistic and made the best of it. Keith was a true family man and you would most often find him at home, parked in front of the TV, if not watching a fight or football game, watching his favorite crime show, Forensic Files, listening to his music or eating his favorite snacks with Christian.
Keith held several jobs throughout life, was a very hard working man, yet very soft spoken, wasn't a man of many words, yet loved to crack jokes and make you laugh. Keith loved the togetherness of family and friends and will be sorely missed by all that knew him.
Keith is survived by his mother, Janice Alexander, father, Charles Wilson, wife, Katrina Wilson, sons, Keith Wilson Jr. and Christian Wilson, brothers, Darrell and Eason, sisters, Tiffany, Karen, Kathy and Tambra, grandson, Chiya, his inlaws and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and lifelong friends.
