May you rest in peace Keith. I hope you are enjoying the odd beer with Grandpa Willy.

10 years!! Miss you every day 💔 ♥️

Keith. What a sweet boy you were . So helpful  when we built our house .You ran the tractor  working up the yard for hours . Uncle Paul loved hanging out with you and teasing  you of course (quffy) was the nickname he had for you. Little things you would do reminded me of your dad and I would just smile . Miss you Nephew ❤

Thinking of you today Keith and hope that you and grandpa Willy are sharing a beer together. Cherish our times together, especially at Lake St. Peter. 

Hi Keith
I hope you are nice and warm...its freezing down here...I'm friends with your Mom..I went to school with your Dad..your mom and I went to Copperfields alot. I used to babysit you and Kristina...you were so cute..your mom and I fell out of touch with each other which I  was sad about so I missed your teenage years and your son Aiden
I just wanted to say 
Happy Birthday  and everyone misses you and Aiden has really grown up..your mom is taking real good care of him

Another Birthday  of yours we celebrate without you. Always in our hearts forever and always 💕 

5 years has come and gone.  We have not forgotten you for one moment.  You will always be in my heart.  Love and miss you my son. <3

Rest In Parade Keith . I think about you all the time. Until we meet again ❤

Where has the time gone.   4 yrs and not a day goes by that I don't think about you.  Aiden is growing so fast and is a mini version of you.  We all miss you and will love you forever.  "Light It Up"

Missing you n our talk,s on fb  seeing you pick up Aiden n me picking up Sarah n our little chat,s. RIP Beaver you will allways be remembered and sadly missed. Love Sherry n the clan of Wilburs.

It is hard to Believe it has been over a year now. I know you are safe and happy with the Great Birkett men.You will be forever missed here cousin.I hold on to the memories of good times up at Grandpa's, and all the surprise encounters out and about in Oshawa LOL it was a small world to have some of the same friends.I am so happy I suggested for a big group photo of all us cousins at Katie's wedding. Now I have something to hold on to and to be proud of my family. The pain is still raw, but I know the light still goes on in your little boy. Stand over him and this family, we love you, To Aunt Donna and Kristina, love you guys Live Life to the Fullest and live everyday for him.

Me and you made the whole city light it up.
Im going to make sure that fire never goes out.
Thank you for everything.
Always in my thoughts and heart.

keith. its been a while...still hurts everyone.. just want u to no that i got the music game on lock..took over where u wanted it to go and put it there and im reaching every level u wanted.. fame not fortune....

Can't believe it's been a year. Where does the time go. Life continues on without you - although it will never be the same. Small things are a reminder of your presence everywhere. Everytime I see anything red you are right there. It was hard to read all the posts about you this weekend - you were and are so loved Beaver! I'm not around as much I'd like to be but I will still keep my promise to always love and be there for your family - as you are all my family as well! Love you bro! Until we meet again. xoxoxox

you and your family are always in our thoughts and we always love to see Aiden.

To Keith:
I cant believe it's been a year since you left and a couple years since I've seen you. I wish I wasn't so busy the last while before you left so I could have come over and hang out like you asked me to. Always in my heart and never forgotten. xo

To Aiden:
I know your daddy is looking down on you everyday and so proud of how well you are growing up into a young man, how strong, brave and talented you are. Just remember he is always there when you need him and he's  in your heart. Miss you Adien. I'm sure you don't remember me, but I still love you and wish you all the best. xo

It's been almost a year since u sadly left us all. U r very much missed by each and everyone of us who knew u. When I start to miss u to much I listen to ur music so I can hear ur voice :) I miss u so much Keith, love u. Until we meet again <3

Gone to soon, and missed by many.  You and your family are always in my thought.

Your time here was done too soon, you are missed and loved so much. You should be so proud of Aiden he's so beautiful and through him your spirit will exsist forever. sending your family lots of love And prayers.

Donna, sorry to hear about your loss. I had no idea...My mom was shocked! She told me to give you her condolences...I wish you the best and take care.

Every time I drive by your place I miss the days where I didn't have to go to school and I'd drop by and see Aiden and then we'd walk him over to school and spend the rest of the day just watching movies and hanging out before you had to go get him.... I remember us laying on the couch and you asking me if I ever missed you and I jokingly said "no never" and you just laughed.... but I definitely do miss you now :( and I wish you were here xoxox

I've already signed but I've been missing talking ta u. I've never met u in person but there were many times we wanted to, distance was just hard. U were an amazing, sweet, kind hearted, extremely loving man and I wish u were still here. U r dearly missed by many many friends, family and most definitely ur son. U were a total inspiration to so many of us and no matter where u r or wut ur doing up their u will ALWAYS live on in each and every one of us. Until we meet again may u R.I.P. Love and miss u lots, ur dear friend Shortie <3

I haven't signed Keith's book yet, now is a good time. Can't remember one time when you visited or at a friends etc. that you did not have a smile on your face, you always seemed to be ontop of the world.. I was not a close friend, but a friend through the family, always good times.  When i heard the tragic news i was shocked and as a mother who also lost a 23 year old son suddenly, my heart poured out to your mother, as i have been there, i understand what she is going through on a daily, weekly, monthly, its called Hell.. When i see pics of your son Aiden, i see you.  You remind me of my son Kyle, loved to get out and do the town, made your own music and when you both smiled it was ear to ear.. You left with memories we will not forget.  To the whole family, im so sorry.  A sudden death is the hardest as we are not prepared, so we never had the chance to say things or say goodbye.  As your Mom said, lets hope Keith and Kyle are together talking about how much they miss their Mom's.  RIP KEITH and just wanted to say i'm glad to have met you, be safe and visit your family when the time is right, they too miss you
Your friend Sharron Nearing
