Almost thirty years later, I still remember this beautiful, funny and sweet man from our friendship when I lived in DC and he would come down from NYC to visit his family in Northern Virginia. Time will not dim the memory of his light and ability to make others feel special. Rest now, Keith. Know that you are missed.

It was such a privilege to know Keith. I am glad that even if it was a brief period of our lives we were called by him as his boys. I will always remember Keith with his sweet smile on his face and his stuffed bears at Christmas.
Rest in peace Keith Pruitt...

Keith's greatest contribution to this world was his perpetual hope that this world can and will be a pretty good place when we all do our share by believing in ourselves! His physical self may have left us but his heart and spirit will always be there...I will enjoy that reflection and I WILL always remember him and carry on that spirit!

Keith was a dear friend to me, and a very talented person.
I will always remember him coming to collect Fohpah after teaching his students piano lessons.

I will miss him so much and always remember his smiling face

I am so grateful to have known such a loving and compassionate person. He was my "first" love in High School and will always hold a special place for me. My condolences because I know he will be missed dearly by his friends and family just as I have missed his energy and confidence over the years. Deeply sorry for your loss.
