I was just sitting here thinking about why I haven’t heard from Keith as he’s always kept in contact with me. Never did I think I’d come across his obituary. I’m heartbroken! Prayers for his family as well as his friends .. RIH Keith ❤️

Keith had a heart of gold and would do anything for his family. His life was taken to soon. But I’m sure he’s happy because he is with Tanya and Mom. He will be missed.

So sorry for the loss of Keith. It’s been a very long time since we had seen him but thought of him often. He was part of our family quite a few years ago. He was a great kid. Praying that you will find comfort with all the memories that was made.
