The most important thing to know about Keith is that he could make anyone and I mean ANYONE smile, even when they were in the worst mood or even a bad season of their life altogether. Everyday for Keith was an adventure, if he wasn't going fishing or visiting friends he was killing imaginary zombies in the yard. He truly made an impact on anyone he ever met. Keith used to love to drive around with the music loud and a dog in the passenger seat anywhere he went. He even named his vehicles, he had too many to count! Keith loved animals and children and they definitely loved him back:) He was an extremely animated person and even when he wasn't feeling good he was always moving and on the go. He wanted every dog he ever met and found his way into the hearts of so many children, including my own. His heart was made of Gold and his giving spirit saw no end. He thought of others before himself at all times. When Keith left this world we received no warning and this world lost a beautiful un-tamed soul, however Heaven gained a flawless angel. You will forever be missed and cherished Keith, not a moment with you will ever be forgotten and I am eternally greatful for our friendship. My life would have never been quite the same if I had never met you and I am so thankful you were such a loving and dedicated friend. I miss you more than you will ever know and will love you until the end of my days and then some. Love always, Kris

Well, this is mighty late.  I didn't know anything about this.  Keith I knew you as a little boy.  You were such a cutey and grew up to be a handsome man.  Life took you on a journey.  But now you're dancing with the angels.  Tell my girl "hello" and I will see you both some day!


Kieth you are the younger brother I’ve always loved.  I will see you when I get home. Tell our Lord to leave the lights on and back door unlocked. I love you bro.

Keith you were the brother I never had.  Through the changes we went through life only got better.  You showed up in my life when I needed somebody the most.  Not only did you help me in prj but you showed me how to be a great friend.  I learned so much from you.  We went to school together, partied together and attempted to get clean together.  You knew how to put a smile on my face when I was down, calm me down when I was wide open, and knew what to do to put me in place.  Keith you were family, my best friend, and fishing buddy.  I can not and will not forget you.  I love you buddy.  You were the most decent person in my life and you will continue to amaze me.  Love you so much then and I  will continue to.  

Keith. You were such an amazing man. Inside and out. Recently we had been both going thru tough times, and we both reached out to each other for support. Your soul and the energy you put off always made me smile and you always told me I was so pretty or beautiful. Your sweet kisses on my cheek I will never forget. We were always laughing at each other, dancing down the road doing goofy stuff. You were full of so much life. You are now peaceful and happy and I know your dancing with your mama and she welcomed you with open arms. Many of us close friends feel that this wasn't your time nor way to leave us on this earth, but God needed you babe. He needed you to send us a message of some sort. We all take life for granted. You were silly, but you were such a  good friend Keith and it hurts that I didnt get to see you Tuesday. I love you babe, and may you finally get to be happy and rest in holy peace. Save me a place in Thugs Mansion. You are so SAVAGE. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.
