Born July 3, 1970, in Amory, he was the son of the late James Buddy Whitt and the late Janice Carol Russell. Keith attended Houston High School, and he was of Christian faith. Keith was a farmer by trade for most of his life. He loved to be outside driving a tractor; that is where he was most happy. If he was not working, he always liked to be outside piddling around.

Keith was loved by his family and friends, and they will forever remember him in their hearts.
