My condolences, it has been so many years since I have thought about Keith. We both met thru our brothers when we were teenagers way back in the late 1970's.  I am Rene and am the mother of his very first two children Tina and Keith Jr. Our relationship in the past was so good at first then ended up turning toxic and ended. If there is any of the Martinez family that would like to contact me come find me on Facebook under Rene Marr- Packham. It is never easy losing a loved one, but he is defiantly in a much better place.

Im glad to have been able to break bread one last time with Keith. It was a couple of months ago. Mom (aunt Lora) and I saw him at Mass. We invited him for breakfast. He sat with my Dad(Uncle Gus) while we cooked breakfast. Those two laughed so hard it was crazy. My Dad hadnt engaged with anyone like that for a long time. It wonderful to hear them shareing stories of the camping trips we took . Keith went with us every summer for many years. He was always quick to help, and eager to learn. As always he was filled with laughter. His smile like a beam of light. I love you cous...you will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to My Aunt Marvine and family. God Bless you all.  Love from Uncle Gus , Aunt Lora and Family.

One of my fondest memories is of Keith playing games at the family picnics! He always had a smile on his face and a never quit attitude. In my minds eye, he'll always be that curley headed nine year with the infectious smile and laughing eyes! My condolences to the Martinez family. I love you Aunt Marvine.

My Mr Bones, I'm saddened and I'm missing his phone calls. His laughter, his silly soul. Keith had a great spirit about him. No matter how tough his journey, he was a survivor!! He always saw the good in everyone. He got into many unfortunate situations because of his goodness. When we talked he laughed so hard, for so long. I'm struggling, he tried for so long to conquer his demons and did for a time. I Love him so so much!!! Bye Bye My Mr Bones til we see each other again! The struggles over!  Hallelujah!!!!

I will never forget your smile, your face would light up and when you would laugh. It always filled my heart with joy and I would laugh too. It is so hard to say goodbye. I know I have to. I have always loved you, I always will. You have blessed me with the 2 most greatest gifts a woman could ever ask for. And that is our 2 daughters Laura and Tiffany. All I have to do is look at them and I see you in each of them. They will say or do something and I would remember that you used to do or say that too. And I would giggle to myself, it would fill my heart with so much joy. I have always been so grateful to you for that. And you even shine through our 5 grandbabies Kansas, Jeffrey, Chloe, Stephanie, Keegan.
To the Martinez family: My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I love you all.


We were so blessed and so lucky to have you in our midst and in our lives...we have the fondest memories of you from our childhood days on our summertime camping trips..you were a joy to Aunt Lora & Uncle Gus..always eager to help..with your easy smile & great giggly laugh! ...& a cheerful constant companion to us ,your cousins...you will always be in our hearts..Rest in peace in that Camp of the Stars... sweet "Keithie".  We Loved you lots and You will be missed.

To the Martinez Family... Keith and I met in 1997. He was a fun loving, carefree friend. We've laughed and talked about everyday things. You will be missed my friend. Rest in Jesus loving arms.

Through the years I enjoyed every chance I got to see him, he always had jokes and was full of laughter. He persevered through many hard times and still smiled. He has always and will always have my love. I love you dad♡♡♡

One quality  that is so memorable about Keith was is his attitude toward challenges and obstacles in life. He seemed to always have a "can do" spirit, positive attitude toward adversity. He loved tackling the challenge's and was a team player in resolving issues...with that grin that he had.
Miss you Bro!
