I know your birthday just passed I know you and your love ones had a good day on your birthday You're gone but not forgotten May you rest in peace

Keith I tried to post a Happy Birthday to you on your day, but it wouldn't take. However I know you was singing and just as Happy as a kid at a candy store as you was with your loved ones that have passed. I would remember your birthday every year, as you would mine. Only a few days apart. I'd come over and no matter what I'd buy you it was exciting for you. The lamb skin coat you gave me for my birthday I still treasure, hangs in my closet. R.I.P. you truly had a heart of GOLD. Wish it could have ended in a different way for us.

Happy Birthday in Heaven Keith. I remember how much you looked forward to your birthday's. I'm sure you are enjoying your day with your loved one's that have also passed. R.I.P.

Happy Birthday in heaven Keith. You are missed.

Keith,

I know how you loved Christmas time, you was actually a kid at heart when it came to xmas. I will whisper a Merry Christmas to you. I will visit your grave, I know how many times you said no one will come visit my grave when I'm gone, and for the thought of you being right about that, it Hurts:-( Rest now, you are in my prayers.

Lit a candle in memory of Brian Keith Tope

Keith,

Been gone for 5 months now and still so unreal. Even though you are free of pain, still hard to come to terms with the fact you are gone. Until we meet again R.I.H.  You will remain in my prayers.

A.L.W

3 months since you have gone. Hard for me to think we didn't get to have a real goodbye between us. Things ended soo badly, I wished you could have just let me know what was actually happening to you. So, I could have just understood the way you pushed us from your life. Now I will just remember all the special Holidays we shared, I know how you loved xmas. I never hated you, only what you did.
A.L.W. to the end!!

Keith, 2 months since you have been gone. Remembering our 2010 Thankgiving dinner celebration, didn't realize it would be our last one. You was Happy, thankful and funny. We gave thanks for our life and times we had. It was a good day, should have realized then though that something was bothering you. You was actually more quite then I was use to seeing you. To many things you wanted to share that you had been thankful for. Now I will just remember and reflect back on our many Holiday's together. R.I.H. Hugs to you!!!

Keith, really hard to believe you are gone. Been a month now and just doesn't feel real. You left this world so fast, never thought last time we seen you that it would be the last or would have not left things the way they ended. You truly had a big heart I have never forgot that and never will forget the good times we had.

hey my bro, man you with fast,but you always did doing things fact,i know in my heart you are in a better place,and i know i will seeyou agin,so until i see you ,don,t start no shit  up there, until i get there. you R.I.P. my bro,i,ll see you soon. ray davis.

Keith, You was the father I did not have. You helped make me the person I am today. I remember you telling me you needed to figure out a way to get rid of mom and me, so we wouldn't see you go through what the future would soon hold for you, just wish I would have understood what that meant. Sorry, thing's ended the way the did. We shared that special father, son bond when I was growing up, one that know one can possibley know or understand. R.I.P. and I know we will meet again someday. I will take care of mom as you always told me..Boy always take care of her your the man when I am not around. You was alway's that man I looked up to. God Bless!!

R.I.P. Keith, you are in my thoughts and prayers.  God bless you. I do miss you

Love you,
Dale Jr and Snow

I will always remember working with you at the recycling center and you working with that shit ass grin on your face "like you had a secret that know one else knew". I loved your smile and that light of something special that seemed to follow you. I will miss you.

With much love your nephew Robert L. Tope

Hey Superman,
I will be there to see you tomorrow.  Love ya and miss ya.

My deepest sympathy goes to the entire Tope family. I have so many good memories of the years I have known Keith. Watching him grow up from playing little league baseball, working with him and his dad and brothers at the recycling place, Him driving the Bob Cat, I would say he was the best out of them all on that. There are alot of good memories he has left us all with! You will surely be missed! Love, Sue

Love you bubbie, I will never forget you.

I will never forget you getting me up singing. I would think lord go back to bed. You always would say  we have so much to do.And all we had to do would be go to your yard sales. Or go to the store and get a new rug. Boy how you loved them rugs.I will miss them days and you so much.I will always love you. Youll always be my angle.

Please you and i both know my dad would blow ur candle out you and your whole family need to keep my dads name out your mouth!

I hope you are in the arms of your Father and Brother!  I love and miss you all!

Rest in peace, Uncle Keith. I know you are at peace in the arms of your father and mine. <3 Your presence here will certainly be missed but your memory will be with us forever. (I will never hear the word "SIS" without thinking of your ornery smirk and chuckle). God speed.

Dad,I am grateful that you have no more pain and suffering ,but I'm heart broke you are no longer on this earth.I will forever cherish the memories that are sketched in my mind and in my heart.I know the good Lord carried you home and until we meet again ,i know i have two beautiful guardian angels watching over me and i call you ''MOM and ''DAD''  I love you and will miss you forever

Tope family,

Thank you for sharing about Keith today. It was an honor to learn about his life and to serve your family. If there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to call. We are all here to help you in any way we can.

Jonathan Poling - Funeral Director
