Keith was an absolute friend to everyone. He was the guy that would give you the shirt off his back immediately if you needed it. Everyone who knew him loved him.

He loved camping and anything to do with the outdoors. He was a wonderful husband, father, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
