Keith was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, and the backbone of the family. He had an amazing personality with an endearing ornery streak.

Keith treasured his special friendships throughout his life and the family greatly appreciates their support throughout Keith’s illness.

He will be greatly missed by his wife, Carol; his son, Ryan (Julie); daughter, Mindy; grandchildren, Nate and Madison; and his brother, Gary. Keith was preceded in death by his son, Rodney; his parents; and his sister, Diane Rogers.
