Mr Keith was my first driver that I had on S89. He taught me how to run a route the right way. We got long great except sometimes in the morning. He was not a morning person. I have to laugh at that. Many times he would tell me to shut up. Lol I never did lol. 1 day there was a quite boy that we took to Sachse high School. One morning he was having a fit and Keith told me to go sit with him. Now that being said I looked at Keith and he was laughing. I said no. This boy was hitting the window and seat. I was new to being an aide. I was ready to get off the bus. But Keith was laughing so hard and I was mad and scared. I told that boy would have killed me. Keith said I thought you was trained to handle that. I said No. He was laughing so hard I wanted to pop him. I said that not funny. He said yes it was. Boy I have  missed riding with him. Never a dull moment.

I remember Keith always being happy go lucky with his big smile.  He was a treasure to work with at GISD.  Love to you, Carol and Jason.

I didn't know Keith very well, but he was always a very happy and kind person even when he had to retire sooner than plan I don't ever remember seeing him with a frown on his face.

he was a very nice man .prayers for yall he will be misses..

I keep looking to the back pasture to see Keith drive up on his 4-wheeler....he never let me forget about putting up that fence and that gate he would have to open....lol...and the conversations we would have .....I can say his spirit is definitely down here on this hill....😊🙏🏻❤️....Rest in peace my friend 

For several decades Cooter and I chases ducks in every corner of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. We hunted skinny water pond, huge lakes and rivers and bayous. We harvested 1000s of doves off my lease, shot every puddler and diver species that past through this flyway. Many knew Keith as the great dog breeder and trainer he was. Dogs from his kennels have been shipped all over the world. We hunted along side pups like Millie, Dee, Cher and Suzie to name a few.....all wearing the name of Creamlevel Creek Kennels in their pedigree and the ribbons they displayed. He was equipped with Benellis, Red RIver Airboats, Go-Devil motors, G&H decoys, and many other hunting products from supporting companies.I was with him on his last duck hunt after a medical incident ended his life long duck hunting career. He then started crappie fishing with me in many Texas lakes and he really enjoyed being out on the water trying to figure them out. Unfortunately...his health was always a gray cloud hanging over him and he passed   this week. Those green heads don't have a chance now!!!!

I don’t have words for how much we will miss you! You have been so good to me from the moment I met you and you were always there for me to talk to about anything going on in mine and Jason’s life. You accepted me and loved me like I have been a part of your family forever and have been so excited about our wedding. Right now everything seems like a dream. Life just isn’t fair without you here. It breaks my heart that you won’t be there on our wedding day but we will save you a seat. I pray God does open the sky and let you look down on us that day and I hope you’re proud of us and and know how much we love and miss you! 

Keith you were a good friend to me while we worked together and after you retired.  I enjoyed our talks when we checked on each other. You always made me laugh and i think about you all the time. You will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. 

Keith was a wonderful man and he had a great singing voice.  Many precious memories of their singing group and traveling to many concerts. I am so sorry to hear of his death.  His laughter, joking, and great voice will be missed.  

Keith met my sister when I was a crazy teen aged girl.... he was different than anyone I had ever met, always had a story for everything and always so funny. He loved my sister like nobody else could ever possibly love her and I remember how crazy she was about him, I love him for that. He was the absolute best father you could ever ask for to Jason and you could always see how much Jason loved his Dad. I never got the chance to hear Keith sing as that was something he had stopped before meeting Carol, but I’m sure that if there are moments when you hear heavens choir singing, you might  wonder why it has become a little more melodic, and a little bolder in its praise, it’s  because for Keith the roll has been called up above, and he is indeed there, helping lift that celestial choir to a new level. Keith, meeting  many of your friends and family this week and hearing their stories, I can tell that you will be greatly missed on this Earth but I know you will be a welcome friend when they see you again! Keith, thank you so much for loving Carol and Jason with all your heart, they could not have asked for a better man. 

I did not know him but know the kind of man his son is which speaks volumes for the kind of Dad he was. Our family sends our sincere condolences to your family and pray for comfort in this time of loss.

I am so glad that I met you when I did. I don't know what Jason and I would have done without you in our lives all these years. We have had good times and bad but they were all worth it. I was counting on many more years together but I understand. I love you and miss you  with all my heart.
