Growing up with his family and extended family in the Kansas City area, Keith attended family reunions in Estes Park, Colorado. Fishing with his family in the mountains and streams held a special place in his heart.
Keith's path from trade school to electrician was illuminated by his infectious cheer and genuine warmth.
He easily forged deep connections, making lifelong friends during his time at General Motors and Harley Davidson. His enduring spirit and ability to connect with others left a lasting mark on everyone he met.
In August 1980, Keith married the love of his life, Susan. Together they welcomed three children into the world: Edward, Emily, and Eliot. His unwavering positivity earned him the nickname "human Hallmark card" from his kids. A devout Catholic, Keith's life revolved around faith and family.
Keith was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Louise, and his beloved wife of 42 years, Susan. He leaves behind a legacy of love and faith, survived by his brother Patrick, his sons Edward and Eliot, his daughter Emily, and thirteen grandchildren.
