I can’t believe it’s already been a year without you!!

I am very saddened of the passing of my Cousin Keith.  My Mom, Aunt Chris shared with me the stories  at the funeral from family and co-workers of a great life Keith had lead.  Reading the obituary and seeing Keith's smiling face he looked to be a very happy man.  I am so very sorry Brenda, Uncle Don, Aunt Dolly and all my Cousins and family.  I know you will all miss the man. - Cousin Mark Thompson

Keith,
First off, thank you for those tight hugs, and the many laughs through my childhood onto my adult years. You taught me zero fear while on the four wheeler with you, while going full speed at that ditch. Until I froze, of course, and we had to pull it out. So many bonfires in your backyard I will cherish. I remember you put your arm around me one summer, and said If there was ever anything I needed, to come to you, that I was like a daughter to you. Your heart was huge and kind. The love you had for family, is without a doubt breath taking. One hell of a man, gone too soon. 
I love you, and will miss you. 
Keep shining bright like I know you do! 
Love,
Holly 

To the family of Keith, as I knew him, I send my deepest and warmest condolences. I only known Keith for the five and a half years of meeting him at Ford. Keith taught and showed me how to load a box car, my first time ever working on a freight train. Conversating with Keith was always cool and he always shared with me his outing for his granddaughter's baseball tournaments, and from what I hear, she's pretty good at it. You was always a good guy to me Keith may your soul rest with God in heaven.     Law

Keith was the hardest working hilo driver at DDMP.  He was an all-around great guy to work with.  Every time I saw him, he was busy helping someone out or cleaning up an area. You will definitely be missed, my prayers go out to his family. 

Kieth,
Words Come Short, Gone To Soon 😥
You Will Be Missed!! Just Know That.
Thanks For The Kind And Precious Moments, All Your Jokes, & Laughs, You We’re One Of A-Kind, That’s For Sure,  An Amazing PAPA, You We’re An Amazing Man. God Bless Your Soul❤️.

Keith , I was so frustrated with the transfer from Sheldon rd to the DDMP rough complex that I was close to the loosing it !Then after a few short years being in the assembly department ,( after driving Hilo for 10 years before arriving to Rouge ) you  were the first person to help me learn the new  floor plan when I finally was reinstated in MP&L  to Hilo , many thanks for the comfortable transition I will miss you dearly and your wife’s famous Christmas lasagna simply the best! I will look you up when I get to heaven! Your Friend Dave .

Keith Kerutis,  a very reliable and hard working individual.  Keith was a great person to know.  If there were more Keith Kerutis's in this world,  the world would be a better place.  I know that Keith is already helping God out and telling him stories about his grandkids.  "He will be truly missed"

Keith was passionate and straight forward about everything he did.   He was very passionate about his granddaughters.   Sharing softball stories, pictures, and videos were his favorite.  He was the best hilo driver in the building.   When I came to DDMP I thought I knew everything about hilo driving until I met Keith.  He's the reason I'm the driver I am today.  When the new jobs opened up on the other side of the building  a process coach brought us two together and said  "it's only two drivers  I want driving for me, Keith and you".  In some way or another he taught every driver he came in contact with.  He was a nice person and a even better friend.   Prayers and condolences to the family. 

Keith, thank you for always being there for me and my family. I will miss the Euchre games and you always winning. I have enjoyed the many times you have made me laugh. My friend, my confidant. You were a hero in so many ways to so many people.  There will always be a special place for you in my heart. I love you.

Keith, I’ll forever remember building that massive swing set with you. And especially miss the numerous union breaks that we took together. Miss you, my friend.

Keith 
Was determined, thoughtful and caring in all he did.  When he spoke it was always straight from the heart.  It was a privilege to know him and a great honor to call him a friend. Keith you will be missed but not forgotten . 

It was the way keith said "Helloooo Sam" and the many wonderful conversations we always had about his grand daughter and softball! Keith was always straight up and gave me awesome advice on how to make it at work. Im so glad i was able to have a conversation with keith one last time recently. Im very saddened by this news. My deepest heartfelt condolences to the family. 

Keith was one of the best Hilo drivers I knew. You could always talk to him about anything rather it be the job or things happening in life. He always was excited about talking about his girls. He will be missed. Prayers to the family. 

Our hearts are so heavy..this is a huge loss..Keith was the sweetest, most humble and helpful man to us all...its a tough day ..prayers for your family 

Keith was the HILO GURU❤️, anything you wanted to know about driving, he was sure to show you.  I'll miss our short little chit chats about life and his grandchildren. 
He was very proud of them and took every opportunity to share their accomplishments.  Keith, you will be missed♥️Prayers and condolences to the family🙏🏾

Many years I’ve known Keith, he was a great co-worker! My condolences to his family and friends.
