Rest in Peace Keith. I was saddened to hear of your passing. I will always remember your quick wit, easy smile and how you were driving long before you got your driver's license :). I also remember all of the times you spent in our house with my brother Anthony. Third Street was a tight knit community and even though I moved away a long time ago, I have such fond memories of the wonderful families like yours. Thoughts and prayers to Mike and the rest of the family. God bless you all for peace during this difficult time.

I was very saddened to learn that Keith had passed away. I will always remember homeroom and classes at rabaut junior high. Also Coolidge colts time. once you met Keith you'd never forget him. so full of life, joy and fun. laughter was always in the picture. he had a very serious side too. the last time I saw him he had his dog in the car. I will miss you my friend. I will remember our bus rides on the K2. RIP and may God bless your family.
