Message: May all the memories that you have of the strong & willing to help anyone person, Keith was guide you to peace in the thought that he has no more pain and that if we could all be the person he was--we would have just as many friends as he does. My latest memory was of Keith helping put up the Christmas lights in Robinson, just as he has done in the past many many years for everyone to enjoy, he was doing this just a few days before he went to the hospital. I knew he hadn't been feeling well from talking to Julie but there he was doing something for everyone that one last time, checking all the lights before they were put up in the bucket truck by his helper (not sure). Thank you Keith for being an AWESOME neighbor to us since we moved to town in 2000, thanks for being a friend & give Bailey a pet for us. Rest in Peace & you will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!!!

Message: Within the two years of Keith's battle with cancer he became known to me as one of the strongest, most courageous man ever. Chemo treatment is known for it's side effects and although Keith experienced some of them, never did he let on that he was suffering. Julie and Keith gave me inspiration and to keep trucking through the hard times. I pray Keith went in peace and that his family is consoled by God and their loved ones.

Message: Julie, Dustin, Darin and Danielle, My heart goes out to you as you grieve the loss of a humble, loving husband and father. I know he loved you deeply Julie. Dustin, Darin and Danielle-he was a proud father who selflessly loved and respected you, his children. He poured his all into nurturing you into the fine adults you are today. He left us all too soon; you needed so much more time with him. There are so few words to share when we grieve but know that you have family and friends who are praying for you as you go through the grieving process. Rest in the knowledge that he is in God's loving arms and you will see him again, one day soon.
With much love,
Laurie, Johnathan, Johnathan A. and Thomas (Shaw)

Nellie, Dick and I were very sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. We know how much he meant to you and your family. With the miles between us we were not able to know him well, but he seemed like a very kind man. It will be difficult for you two in the future, but just know that your dad will be looking down on you as your life continues. Please know that Dick and I are here for both of you. Your dads strength was an inspiration to everyone in your community. We will pray for you and your family and will grieve with you. Hold tight the good memories of your dad and the time spent together as a family.
TO: Julie, Dustin, and Darin
Dick and I wanted to express our sympathy for the loss of Keith, your husband and dad. In the short time we had with Keith, we felt the love he had for his family and community. Dick said you could feel the love and support shown to Keith at his benefit. Dick was glad he got to spend time with Keith at the football game in October. Please know that you will be in our prayers as your family grieves the loss of Keith.

Message: Julie, Pete, Darin & Nellie,
Keith was the best brother-in-law & uncle we could of had. In all the years we have known Keith - I never did see him mad or upset. The kids loved to go visit - he would always throw around a football or basketball with them. He took them for rides on the 4-wheeler or in the old red pickup - oh how they just loved that - they always seemed to have a a story when they got back. I don't know who was worse Keith or the kids roughing around - I know Julie would yell & always say stop it & you would just sit over there & have that smirk you always had on your face & laugh.
In the 2 years you were battling cancer - I never once heard you complain - you were an inspiration to us all.
When I look at your kids I will remember alittle abit of you in each of them - Pete for your quiet demeanor - Darin for your compassionate side, & Nellie for your loyality & sincerity. They are different but are a mix of all of your great traits you had. You were so proud of them all & rightfully so - you did good.
I am so thankful my sister found you in her life - you brought so much joy into our family and what Julie & you had was so special.
God seems to take all the good ones & this time he has one of the best. Rest in peace our beloved Keith. We love you & will forever miss you. Never to be forgotten!
