I have been thinking alot about Keith lately.. When I was 13-17 Keith and I were inseparable. We were childhood sweethearts..I have so many fond memories. We did everything together. I would often go with him on his horse feedings very early in the mornings. He was so dedicated to the horses. I always absolutely loved his Mom-and Dad and always  looked forward to being with his family during Christmas where his family always made me feel so special and always feel part of his family. I have so so many memories. My heart really aches 💔  Keith will always have a special place in my heart.  My condolences to his family, I hope you are resting in peace my friend. Gone but not forgotten. I love you..💙💙 Always..Melinda

Keith and I were buddies when we were kids and young adults, growing up in Baltimore, across the back yards from one another. In recent weeks I have found myself thinking of Keith, wondering how he was doing.  We have been out of touch for a long time. I have not lived in Maryland for 40 years or so. My sister Joan looked on Facebook for me, and that is how I learned the sad news. My condolences to Tommy, Brian, Doug and the family. Reading the entries brought back wonderful boyhood memories of our times together. Yes, Keith was always positive, always laughing, determined to make the most of it. He was a naturally kind person, one who was at ease with all kinds of people, and made everyone feel welcome. In our late teens we went hitch-hiking through West Virginia together, met a lot of great people, and rescued a stray cat among other adventures. Even though we have been out of touch for years, learning of his passing brings back a flood of fond memories. I am missing you my old friend. Rest in Peace ....

I was just sitting here and wondering how you're doing these days. So I searched for you on Facebook. Didn't find you so I googled your name. So very sad to find out that you've left this world -- way too soon. Perhaps you are in a better place now. I guess I'll find out when my time comes. I'm so sorry. My condolences to your family. 

Keith was so special.  So genuinely kind and sweet. Will be greatly missed.

Uncle Keith,
I have been thinking a lot about the times we shared together when I was younger, and they all have one thing in common, we always had so much fun. You took me to meet my first horses in person, bought us McDonald's and had rip roaring "competitions." You left this earth far too soon and will truly be missed. Love you. XOXO

I think of Keith and it takes me back to my childhood, remembering the family celebrations at Aunt Kitty's and all of us cousins running around.   Miss those family gatherings, so sorry for your loss.

Thanks for good memories, working on my car and such.  You were always very nice and always took time to say hello!! You will be missed.

Gone but never forgotten I had only known him a few years but this broke my heart when we lost him and he was called home reat easy till we meet again...!!!

To the family of the one and only Biscuit. From the first time I met a very awesome kind hearted person. He was who he wanted to be. Everyone loved him. I am truly sorry for your loss. Know he made a lot of people laugh and smile. I was crushed and heartbroken to hear this news. Love and Prayers to all.

So sorry for the loss of keith .He was a true friend .He will be missed dearly.Rip Keith aka Biscuit.Sing high in the sky my friend.

Keith came into my life at the time I met his brother Tommy. I remember from that first time that he always ended our meeting  and phone calls with, Love ya brother. My mom and grandson Hayden ( a two yr old) met Keith one Christmas when we traveled to Hampden to see the parade and surprise Keith. Where did we find him? Where else, but at his favorite place, Dimitris, where he could sing and be with his friends. Keith never took us up on our offers to come live on the shore. It is our happy place, but it would not be his. He loved Hampden and his friends. I am so glad Keith met Diane, who made it possible for him to visit Mom in the Nursing home and find happiness with "his" nurse! It was this past summer that Keith net more of my family....my son Brad, wife Heather and children Hayden and Molly. He was able to meet young Tommy's wife Krystina and daughter MaKayka. We never thought we were going to see the day that he  would get to know them. So thankful this happened. But most of all, I am so very thankful for Keith's newest relationship.  With our Lord and Savior, made possible in part because he received his Mothers Bible after her death in November. In part due to Diane, but as we know it was in Gods own time. Thank you Jesus for that. It has helped me to accept Keith's passing, knowing that he came to know more about Jesus. RIP Keith. Love ya!

We want to offer our sincere condolences on Keith's passing. He was just a sprout when I saw him last. God bless your family as you grieve another loss too soon. Ron and Peggy (Dix) McMahan

My baby brother-in-law, my wedding ringbearer,  the sweet little guy who shared growing up with his twin niece and nephew playing football, swimming , climbing the big mimosa tree.  Keith had many adventures, racing in demolition derbies, riding in his kooky van complete with shag carpet, singing karaoke, helping train thoroughbred horses, fixing cars...  I will miss Keith and his dimples, curly mop of hair, his ready smile, and always saying " Love you" at the end of phone calls and visits, but mostly just because he will forever be my baby brother.  Wait for us all, Keith...when we all get to heaven.

I am so sorry to hear that we have lost another family member. My thoughts and prayer to his brothers Bryan, Doug and Tommy, nieces,nephews and Diane.  I have many fond memories of him growing up.  Keith will be missed.  I take comfort knowing he is with his Mom( Aunt Kitty),is holding him tightly in her arms. Rest in peace Keith, until we meet again.

Forever in our hearts - Dougie , Tammy, Sarah and Emma.

We will all miss Keith (Biscuit) dearly, he has touched so many of our lives.
He has given us many happy, joyous, caring memories to fill our hearts. 
We will all miss his voice singing gleefully, touching our hearts and souls.
We will miss his smile and dimples sharing his jokes. No matter what the situation was he made us laugh and smile.
I will miss his tender touch and loving spirit, he will forever be in my heart.
I will miss our walks together, hand-in-hand, we've shared some miles.
Baby, the angels have taken you away to a better place than we can offer.
May you rest in peace with the Lord our Savior forever in Heaven.
