To Keith's parents and family, I want you to know how sad I am for your loss. I went to High School with Keith and I haven't seen him since. Our 30th reunion is coming up and I was really sad to read in the paper of his death. I remember Keith as a friend who always had time for me and a smile. He was one of the nicest, smartest guys I knew. I will miss seeing him at the reunion. I was looking forward to talking with him again. My thoughts and prayers are with y'all, Debbie

I would like to express my sincere condolences to Keith's family. I had the pleasure of working with Keith at Charleston Memorial/ Kindred Hospital of Charleston, where he was often assigned. He was a very caring,friendly and well-liked person. He made working the night shift a little more pleasant with his quick smile and wonderful personality. He will definitely be missed by many of the employees at Kindred Hospital, of which I am one. His death is truly a sad, tragic and most unexpected loss to us all; and especially to you, his family and loved ones. Again, I would like to express my most sincere apologies and condolences during this very trying time. May God bless you and help you to deal with your tragic loss.
