In his leisure, Keith enjoyed golfing and bowling with his son, Ryan, and his many friends. He traveled nationwide competing in both golf and bowling tournaments, spending his days on the greens and his nights on the lanes. His impressive career included numerous Holes in One, perfect 300 games, and 800 series scores.

He also loved the occasional trip to the lake for fishing.

He bowled for many years at Vestavia Bowl and Bowlero Riverview, and served as a staff member for Columbia 300 Bowling Products as well as Ryan’s Pro Shop and Custom Apparel.
