Keith Gerard Koch

May 1, 1965 – May 20, 2026
Obituary of Keith Gerard Koch
IN THE CARE OF

Gearhart Funeral Home

Keith Gerard Koch passed unexpectedly on May 20, 2026, at the age of 61, at his residence in Ham Lake, Minnesota. Keith was a strong, quiet and proud man who cared deeply about his family and friends.

In May of 2011, Keith was rear-ended at an intersection while traveling for work – an event that would change his life forever. Through it all, Keith faced many surgeries and endured near constant pain with resilience and determination.

Keith loved his job at MGS Machine Corporation in Maple Grove, where he was lead mechanical assembler for many years. Keith had a passion for cars and the outdoors. He loved camping at “Lake Winni”, boating, fishing, hunting and snowmobiling.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Emily Koch and son, Josh Koch.

Keith will be dearly missed by his father, William "Bill" Koch; sister, Kim (Brent) Ebert; brother, Ken (Ann) Koch; niece, Tanya (Taylor) Seckinger; nephews Jake (Thea) Koch, Tim (Kendri) Ebert, Matt (Anna) Ebert, Jon (fiancée Becky) Ebert; and many other family and friends. He will be especially missed by his best friend and fellow car enthusiast, Craig Butler.

Memorial service Monday, June 15 at 11 AM with visitation one hour prior and luncheon to follow at Christ Gospel church, 654 119th Ave NE, Blaine, MN.
