I’m so sorry Sharon for your loss. Keith was not only a good Christian but someone you could always count on. After I lost my Mom in May I lost touch with a lot of the family at Levy. I just now found out about his passing and it brought back all kinds of memories from when we were younger. Having the same name Keith and I were always being mistaken for each other but we also had fun with it as well. I know he is with the Lord and at rest. Rest easy my cousin and we will see each other again.
So sorry for your loss. Keith and I were best of friends for several years, mid and late teens, to early 20's. Keith was a real friend. He would listen and tell you the truth, and cared about those he loved. I watched him become a loving husband, and then admired his devotion to his family. Keith and Sharon raised a wonderful son. Keith was a good father, rancher, church leader and family man. He not only loved golf, he was very good at it. Keith's Mom Genevra is a treasure, and has been a devoted mother and Christian Sister in the church for a lifetime. She always had time to visit and listen to her friends. Keith was just like her. Good hearts. Sharon, please email me if there is anything I can do. I am so sorry to hear about Keith. My heartfelt condolences to you and the family.
I worked with Keith at Pace Industries. He was a very nice man. My deepest sympathy to the family.
"Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
Keith was amazing in looking after family and doing it with a cheerful attitude. Always told me poignant stories of Aunt Geneva when I couldn't talk with her anymore and fun stories of his time with his 2 grandsons. I will miss our talks and text Keith. To all his family.....thinking & praying for you, keep your happy memories of Keith up front!
As we say in the Navy, "May you have fair winds & following seas"
Rest in Peace Keith,
Sara Sue
Keith was a great guy. Always smiling. Went to school with Keith from elementary through high school. May the Lird of all comfort surround you with His loving arms at this difficult time.
"My condolences. In this sad time, know that you are not alone. God "heals the brokenhearted."(Psalms 147:3) So "throw all your anxieties on him because he cares for you."(1 Peter 5:7) And may the resurrection hope at Acts 24:15 help to comfort you."
