Keith has been my Inspiration from the first day I started at PTI. He always wanted to know how I was doing and cared what I had to say. He was there for me though the most difficult days of my life when I lost my Dad, My Boyfriend Randy, and most recently my Mom. He brought my up when I was down. He will be truly missed. He was a god sent to me.

I always enjoyed Keith's perspective and input at meetings and conferences over the years! And I respect the strength he showed against cancer and also his recovery from his motorcycle accident, I am saddened by his passing and pray that memories of all the good times bring comfort to his family now and as time passes. God bless!

I was blessed to get to know Keith over the last few years through the GNVDC Community. While visiting Keith over the span of several hospital stays we had many conversations that will stick with me. His inner strength was unquestioned as his positive attitude towards recovery was infectious to anyone that got into the same room, as was the love for his children. He knew that God had a plan for him and his life and he did his best live out his faith regardless of how he physically may have felt that day.

Rest in peace my friend.
