To My Family:
I love and miss all of you. We must live life to the fullest as Keith did. We all know that Keith will come back to kick us in the behinds if we do not. We need to talk about our loss, our anger, our saddness. We need to grieve and not be judged. I am here for you and look forward to the next time we are together.
Love Stephanie

Keith, I never told you how much I love and respect you. I hope you knew. You were my favorite cousin, and I really enjoyed the holidays and get togethers at your house with you, Francie and the boys. The holidays just won't be the same without you, but I know you will be with us in spirit. Until we meet again, know that we love you and will miss you always.
To Aunt Margaret, Uncle Howard, Francie, Kale, Kaden, and the rest of my family; know that I love you and that you are in my thoughts. Remember he is with us still. I'll see you soon. With all my love, Carrie

Keith-
You were the first baby I ever held and you opened the wonderous world of children to me. You grew into a highly intelligent young man who enjoyed matching wits with others. You became a man of highly held opinions and even higher virtues that made me proud to be your aunt and part of your family. I will always love and miss you and await the day we will meet again.
Love Always, Aunt Gail

To the Gransbury family,
Shock and surprise in a case such as this is never welcome. I knew Keith from days as a student of his in the martial arts. He always inpressed me with his near ability to human flight. Such a fantastic instructor, friend, and human being will be sorely missed. I know that where he is now, he still has that spring in his step. Love and Peace be with you... always.

Dear Mrs Gransbury, Kale and Kaden
Our children, Jason & Ashley, had Mr. Gransbury for an instructor at Karate for Kids. He was a wonderful instructor and will be dearly missed. We are so sorry for your loss.

Dear Mrs. Gransbury & Sons,
I knew Mr. Gransbury from Karate for Kids. I am very sorry and feel very sad. I always remember Mr. Gransbury staying very late one night to help me learn the last segment of my green belt form. It was so important to me, and he understood how I felt. That was a few years ago, but I still remember it. I also always remember how he talked about how he sometimes got picked on a little when he was in school and how it made him stronger, and that helps me get through stuff sometimes. I will remember Mr. Gransbury well.
Sincerely,
Geoffrey Curtiss

Love, Mary Lou and Don

I am a second degree Black Belt at Karate for Kids. Mr. Gransbury taught me alot about becoming a black belt and striving to be my best.
He will be missed by all who knew him and learned from him.
I'll especially remember how very high he could jump and how fast a sparring partner he was.

May the Lord bring confort to his family.

Francie, I never got to write down the Yiddish word that I told you described Keith after the funeral, so I figured I'd do it here...Keith was the classical defininition of a Mensch.
Our hearts and prayers go out to you and the boys.

Francie & family -
We spoke with you at the block party a few weeks ago, and Vince would sometimes talk with Keith about the trials of training his lawn mower. We were very saddened by your loss, and want you to know you can call on us at any time if you need anything - we're just up the street. You are all in our prayers during this difficult time.

To Francie, Kale and Kaden:
I know that it must be very difficult to lose Keith at such a young age and under such extreme circumstances. I've known Keith since last Summer as we shared a few bike rides as well as the Motorcycle Show in NY City this year. He had such a passion for everything he did, including riding, motorcycles, martial arts, computers and talking about his kids, which we both shared as common interests. May he rest in peace. Please know that Keith was a phenomenal person and positively touched the lives of everyone he came in contact with. May God eternally bless him and your family as you grieve your loss.

Keith,
I was really looking forward to Dad's and Maggie's Anniversary Party at your house in a couple of months. I could not wait to see Kale and Kaden and for you to meet my Jessica, but it was not to be for you and me. Donna tells me God has a plan for all our lives and we will never understand why. She is right I don't understand taking you in the Best Part of your Life.
Your Family are in our Prayers.
Love,
David

I'd like to express my sympathies to the family and friends of Keith. I worked with Keith at Commsoft. I was in the group of developers that went to San Antonio for a JAVA Programming course in 1999. We had a great time at the Hard Rock Cafe, the Riverwalk and also got to see the entrance gate to the Alamo. I remember Keith having an intensity for life and enjoyed working with him. I also remember how proud he was when he talked about having kids. May he rest in peace.
