Sharon, I was shocked to hear of Keith's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Please let Chris and Matt know I am thinking of them and I wish their pain could be eased by words. All his old friends will miss him very much. I could not come to the funeral because I am in Idaho for awhile. My thoughts are with you as you try and get through your loss. He was a great guy and a good friend.

Dearest Sharon,

It seemed Keith loved to laugh. But more than that he loved the family. And was committed to helping anyway possible. We are so pleased we saw him for Mitchell's & Mandi's wedding in March. We are praying for you and your family. And always remember that smile!

Sharon,

Please accept my deepest sympathies. May your memories of Keith bring you comfort. My memories will help me get though the deep sorrow I feel in losing a good friend.

I didn't realize how much I loved Keith until it was to late. We were friends since childhood and remained friends for life. My favorite times with Keith were our teenage years. We started a car club with Steve and named it

"Lock Motor Club" We had quite a few members but no one ever knew it really stood for Larsen, Martin, and Christiansen. I'm going to miss you buddy.
