Keith was the beloved husband of Judy, with whom he shared 62 wonderful years of marriage. They were married on November 3, 1964, and together built a beautiful life filled with love, family, and countless memories.
He was the loving father of Cynthia (Greg) Williams, Keith Jr. (Bridget), and Christine (Joe). He was a cherished grandfather of Ashley, Amber, Alec, Austin, Kynzie, and Brandon, and a proud great-grandfather of Matthew. Keith was happiest when surrounded by his family and was especially grateful for the joy of becoming a grandfather and, later, a great-grandfather. He was also a dear brother to Pat (Jimmy) and Larry (Theresa), and a beloved uncle to many nieces and nephews. Keith was preceded in death by his siblings Jack, Don, Bud, Billy, Faye, Shirley, and Elmer.
Keith proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, enlisting in 1960 and being honorably discharged in 1964. Following his military service, he began a long and dedicated career with Northwest Airlines, where he worked in ground services for 41 years before retiring.
A hardworking and selfless man, Keith was always thinking of others. He quietly gave generously to many charities each month and found joy in helping those in need. He enjoyed playing golf, visiting family back home in Oklahoma, and most of all, spending time with the people he loved. His kindness, generosity, strong work ethic, and devotion to his family were qualities that will be remembered and cherished by all who knew him.
Keith lived a life centered around family, service, and giving to others. He will be deeply missed by his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandson, extended family, and many friends. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know and love him.
