I enjoyed growing up with Keith and playing sports together. Though I have not seen Keith since high school I still have fond memories of our time together. There were not many of us that could tell Keith apart from his twin brother Kent. I didn’t know Keith spent time in the Army. As a former Submariner, it makes me proud to say that I really appreciate your service Keith. It is men like you, Keith, that make this a great country.
We did not have the privilege of knowing Keith but we pray God’s peace and blessings for him and to his brothers Steve and Kent, along with their family, we pray for God’s peace to surround you during this difficult time of loss in your family.
I am so sorry for your loss of Keith, he will be missed by many family and friends.
Keith u will be miss more that u know U were a great friend and a love person. Danny & Glenda Ogle
It’s hard to imagine there not being a Keith to go along with a Kent. That was the way it was in our school days. Both were great guys, both were thought of highly. Since I haven’t seen Keith since graduation, its nice to know that held constant. Only God knows why He calls us home when He does. Kent I will pray His peace be with your whole family.
My Prayers are stll with you.
Johnny and I both were so saddened to hear of Keith’s passing. At this point in our lives, we realize how precious and fragile life is. We will remember Keith with love, and fondness, and pray that his family (especially Kent, our friend from high school) will find peace in the days to come.
With Deepest Sympathy, Colene and Johnny House
Life is very precious and I cherish the fantastic high school memories knowing Kent and Keith – square dancing and enjoying life! I hope the wonderful memories held in our hearts keep us strong as we celebrate Keith’s life and all he did for others.
