I met Keith while working at Oakland County. My co worker Crystal and myself loved Keith so much. We managed to do our job and still find time to share love and laughter with each other. Even though I have not seen Keith in years he will always hold a special place in my heart. God bless you Keith, the world was a better place because of you being in it. Sorry I will not be able to pay my respects in person, but please know I am with you in love and spirit.

Saddened but Joyful that Keith is in the presence of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I have great memories of Keith. He was the Uncle of my dearest Friend. He loved his Lord with all of his heart, and had such a beautiful singing voice. Many memories of him singing in Quartets at Sunnyvale Chapel.He is reunited with his best friend and brother in law,and i am sure that he they are singing together praising the Lord, along with all of the Southern Gospel Singers who went before him. Tina and Brian, my prayers are with you both as you grieve for your Dad. "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord".

Love in Christ, Whitney( Turner) Baker

A true Godly Man. He blessed all with his walk with his GOD. I pray someday to be half as Faithful as Keith. One day in heaven I will thank him for his impact on my life. Surely he heard God say "well done". Matthew 25:21
