I just saw Keith's pocture and story as I was checking out.  As I read through these entries it's easy to see that Keith brought a smile to a lot of people at the Wash Tub. He did me as well. I looked forward to having a word with him when I stopped by. I hope his family sees this and knows that he was well thought of by a lot of people. He will be missed greatly.

Keith,
I was so heartbroken when I visited the wash tub on Saturday.    You always greeted me with a smile,  a how are you or we laughed and talked about the time I got rear-ended while waiting in line to get my car washed. I always tried to make it on Saturday because I knew you would make sure my car was perfect.  You are going to be missed by so many people like myself.  Rest easy my friend.
Debbie

As I went to check out at the Wash Tub today, I saw Keith's picture on the counter and was so saddened to read about his death.  Keith was such a great person and always friendly and will be greatly missed.  God's peace to his family. Teresa Hudson

So sorry for your loss and our deepest sympathy at this time. May God Bless

Keith
As I am off today and cooking I am so reminded of you and how I loved to share recipes and what I made for supper the night before...but I had to laugh when I remembered that I beat you to the purchase of the yogurt machine from one of our guests!  I will miss your gorgeous blue eyes!
Love,
Sandy

My Condolences. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. I knew him as a wonderful, caring and responsible man. I cannot begin to imagine what you or your family are going through. My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow. The Wash Tub will not be the same without his kind words and smiling face.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family!! May our good Lord hold and comfort all at this time of need. The mold was broke when Keith was made.. no one will ever be able to be like him in any way... his laugh..his voice and those crazy winter days in his shorts!! You will be missed by your immesiate family and the Wash Tub family..past and present. Ride like the wind our friend!!

I didn't know you very well, but I do have connections with your family because Dakota is my half brother. Prayers for the family, and friends! <3

For Glenda, Keith Sr. & Patsy-- There are no words I know, that can make this better. Parents are NOT supposed to have to bury their children.  This leaves you not only grieving the loss of your Son, but also being there for your Grand & Great Grand Children.  I
Cannot imagine....please know we will be praying for God's Comfort in your Heart, plus Strength & Wisdom to share with your precious great-grand babies.
Forever In Our Prayers, Pamal, Danielle & Desiree Dalrymple

From Our Family To Yours: Praying that you'll be wrapped in the comforting arms of the angels, keeping all of you swaddled & safe His Loving Grace.  Family of Alfred & Sibyl Eckols

Oh my sweet Keith, I love you so much & I hope you're resting easy. This is the hardest thing we've all come across. No words can ever explain how sad & missed you will be. The tub will never ever be the same with out you. I'll miss our breaks & our early morning country jammin.

Keith,
I can't believe I won't get to hear you say mornin' ma'am or see you watering the plants before anyone else arrives, or hear you say something really loud and funny in the lobby knowing only you would get away with it because no one else was paying attention to you!  I can' tell you how many times I looked at the schedule and thought oh good its Keith working and we will have a good day.  Thank you for making me laugh when getting through the day seemed impossible!  Sometimes you could be really aggravating...but I loved you anyway!  I enjoyed getting to know you and work with you for so many years I can't believe I have to try and tell you bye - you are the Wash Tub to me! Thank you for all your help, your humor and for "just being Keith".
I hope you knew that I loved you like a brother and I am going to miss you terribly!!!  
I LOVE YOU KEITH,
Sandy
