My prayers and sympathy go to Kieth and his family in this time of great sorrow. I have been friends with kieth for 5 or 6 years and have always known him to be a kind and funny person who enjoyed having a good time with friends and family and he cared about them. I know exactly what the family is going through as my brother died about a year ago from similar circumstances and it is very very very sad. RIP Kieth and May God Bless You, Nick Kobitter

Keith I am going to truly miss you. I still remember the day you walked in to my 3rd grade class and sat right next to me with you black leather jacket and your spiked up hair. You were my first boy crush and turned out to be one of my best friends. You will forever be in my heart. I love you and miss you
