Keith and I were roommates in Panama and he was one of the most genuinely good natured and thoughtful people I've ever met. I am deeply saddened at his passing and regret not keeping in touch with him after I transferred to Ft Bragg. He was a good man and I have many, many fond memories of my short time with him.

I worked with Keith before he transferred - he was a super nice guy and pretty laid back. Very shocked to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family and friends.
