Keith was born in Birmingham, AL, on October 8th, 1961, to Joy and Robert Fleisher. He graduated from Mountain Brook High School in 1980, and The University of Alabama in 1984, with a degree in Psychology. He attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine and graduated in 1988. He proceeded to complete a surgical residency at Carraway Methodist Medical Center as well as an Anesthesia Residency at the University of Alabama at Birmingham where he served as Chief Resident.

Keith was endlessly devoted to his family and friends and an incredible father. Despite long work days, he never missed a recital or sports event. He was an avid Alabama football fan and incredibly proud of his two children who he instilled within his love of Alabama football as well as his work ethic and kindness. Keith served as the medical director at Medplex Outpatient Surgery Center and was a partner in Southern Perioperative Services where he worked for over 30 years and built long-lasting relationships with his colleagues who held him in such high regard. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who knew him.
