I know the holidays will be difficult and I hold you in my prayers. I worked with Keith at PLMS for many many years and he taught all 3 of my own children. They loved him and his passion for teaching. Keith was a big KC Chiefs fan and he knew I am a Big Cowboys fan. One day, he tried to sneak in my room and hang a Chiefs flag, but he didn't see me sitting at my desk. He laughed when he got caught! I have his flag still hanging in my room. He was a special guy.

I am a senior at lees summit high school, i had Mr. Albert in 7th and 8th grade and I can say with absolute honesty he was one of the best trachers i have ever had and a truly amazing man. It grieves me greatly to here of his death, I wish i could have told him in life how much his teaching meant to me.

Cousin, our family gatherings were always huge and interesting. Wish I´d taken more time to talk with you. Was great to see you passing through Carbondale on your bike adventure. Be at peace.

Once I heard the news I came here. Mr. Albert was an amazing teacher. Incredibly passionate and loving. He once made me a plaque of my name, for no reason other then kindness. One of the wisest and nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Rest in peace, Mr. Albert

Although I never met Keith I can see his place in the Albert family, he looks so much like his father, Donald. His grandfather, Richard Albert, was my father's (Earl) brother, so we all share some of the Albert genetics. It's always sad to lose a family member no matter the distance and time apart. Wish I had an opportunity to know him. My warmest condolences, Gary

Kieth was a selfless and caring person. He would help with anything you needed. His wood working skills were outstanding. I have many fond memories of hanging out in the old days. Kieth invited us all over to watch the KC Royals win another World Series. He moved his furniture around to place more TV's along with a large spread of food for the games. I will miss my friend. Thoughts and prayers to the Albert family.

Mr. Albert was an amazing man and teacher. He was a father figure many kids, like myself, looked up to and strived to be like. He kept me inspired to keep pushing even when it looked too rough ahead. I will never forget you Mr. Albert. Rest easy sir

Mr. Albert was not only an amazing teacher, but also an amazing person. He was my homeroom teacher back when I was in seventh grade and was also my I-Tech teacher. He gave me a lot of amazing advice and he made me more interested in woodwork. I will never forget the times we shared talking about the Kansas City Royals when they were on their way to the World Series back in 2015 when he was my teacher. He helped me design an awesome baseball bat and ball car for our class assignment and competition. It hurt me to hear about his passing. My best wishes go out to his family, he was an amazing person.

I remember I was in his class back in 2017 when I was in 7th grade, I remember when we did race cars and he helped me a lot on that and he was a very helpful and a caring person to everyone and never let anyone get behind. He will be missed and those great memories he made with us will never go away. Rest in piece to one of the best teachers I had.

7th grade, 2019-2020ish. I had you as my industrial tech teacher. You were my favorite teacher and lit up my day everyday. No matter the time of day I could pop in and say hello. I remember in 7th grade we were making CO2 Cars, you made a bet with me that I couldn´t hand sand it down to .5 grams, I took that bet... and your 5 dollars, and later won 1st place out of the grade in speed. You will be greatly missed by all of your students, rest easy.

I had Mr. Albert for I-tech this past school year and he was always the highlight of my day. He put a lot of effort into his teaching and always told us the real world implications of what we were learning which lots of teachers don´t do. He was one of my favorite teachers and he even called me "Rubik´s Cube Master" I am truly saddened by his death and offer my condolences to his family and friends.

He was one of my favorite teachers in the 7th grade and I fondly remember how patiently he taught every student to use tools and virtual modeling software. He was energetic and fun so I always looked forward to seeing him each day. He went above and beyond his basic duties as a teacher to bring joy to thousands of students. Good luck with whatever comes next.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Keith for more than 10 years at PLMS...we were on the same team together plus he taught my three kids. Keith always had an ear available to listen to you and a story to share (and laugh about). We, as a family, followed him (and his dad) as Keith biked across the United States. And I know he was soooo excited to bike across Europe. He will be missed!! Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

I taught math on the same team with Keith. He came running into my room one day, beside himself. He had a student who could not draw a 3 inch line because the inch markings where on the other side of the ruler. We shared a lot of stories during our years of teaching together. This is just so devastating. He will be missed.

I'll always appreciate you sharing your time to help me fix something that wasn't working as it should, helping me with a project that I was attempting to complete, sharing your wisdom about a topic you knew better than I, or just talking (which on many occasions it was about the Chiefs). I missed you greatly this past school year. Rest in peace my dear friend.
