Donald Keith Ferguson Jr.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Keith Ferguson, who left this world on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at the age of 67. Keith was born on May 16, 1958, in Edmond, Oklahoma, and throughout his life he was known for his love of sports, the outdoors, and people.

Keith built a life filled with purpose and connection. Growing up in Oklahoma City and Sugarland, Texas, Keith went to Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas where he joined the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity and continued his education at Central State University in Edmond, Oklahoma building great friendships that he kept throughout his life.

An opportunity to join the OK89 Olympic Festival led him to the Olympic movement, traveling to 89 countries, working with athletes, sponsors and building a leadership career in professional sports with USA Taekwondo, USA Climbing, Professional Bull Riders and the American Rodeo. Keith never met a stranger and was known for bringing people together and creating great luxury events, even moving into media, entertainment, television and country music.

Outside of work, Keith continued his love of sports with golf whenever he could, especially his favorite Patty Jewett Golf Course in Colorado Springs. He never met a stranger, knew every neighbor in his neighborhood, and you always knew you were loved.

Keith is preceded in death by his parents Gayle and Don. He is survived by siblings – Kevin (Teresa), Lisa (Jeff), Leslie, Kris (Alice), his stepmom Linda, and his Reynolds stepsisters Joan, Beth, Katie and Sarah Jane along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, dear friends and colleagues who will miss him greatly.

Keith’s memory will live on in the lives he touched and in the countless moments of kindness he shared. As an organ donor, his legacy continues. Details regarding the celebration of life in Oklahoma City on Saturday April 25th will be shared with all once available.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to spend some time outdoors, maybe play a round of golf, take a walk around the block, go watch some University of Oklahoma or Olympic sports, amazing rodeo and horse athletes, or listen to some great live music.
